Plumber Northern Suburbs

Our plumbing services across Sydney's Northern areas cover maintenance, repairs, and installations for water supply, drainage, hot water systems, and gas appliances in both homes and businesses. This includes typical jobs like clearing blockages, fixing leaks, replacing taps and toilets, repairing or installing hot water units, and connecting gas appliances; if inspection shows structural damage or a scope change, we explain the options and provide a revised quote before proceeding with additional work.

Residential plumbing systems experience gradual wear over time. Pipe joints can develop small leaks, tap washers deteriorate, hot water tanks accumulate sediment that reduces efficiency, and drainage lines narrow as debris builds up inside. Some minor jobs like replacing a tap washer can be handled by a homeowner, but most plumbing work benefits from a licensed professional who can assess the full system, identify underlying causes, and complete repairs that last.

At Fixed Today, we carry the tools and parts needed for same-day resolution on many common jobs. Our mobile workshops are fully stocked with premium replacement components, high-definition drain inspection cameras for diagnostics, and high-pressure water jetters for clearing stubborn blockages. That preparation means we can often resolve the issue on the first visit when access and parts availability allow.

Our team holds NSW plumbing and gas fitting licences, and all attending technicians can verify their credentials on arrival. We complete background checks and police checks for technicians, so you can feel confident about who enters your home. Technicians arrive in uniform, introduce themselves clearly, and explain the scope before starting. We use drop sheets to protect floors, wear boot covers when requested, and clean up the work area when the job is finished.

When choosing a plumber, residents often weigh these factors before making a decision:

• Licensing and insurance: Confirms the business is legally qualified and you're protected if something goes wrong
• Experience and proven reputation: A track record of completed jobs and verified customer feedback
• Upfront pricing clarity: A fixed quote provided before work starts, with no surprise charges added later
• Warranty backing the work: Accountability through a workmanship warranty that covers what was done
• Professional conduct in your home: Technicians who arrive on time, work cleanly, and communicate clearly throughout

Fixed Today has served Sydney homes and businesses for over 15 years, completing thousands of plumbing jobs across the metropolitan area. Our near-perfect 5-star rating reflects consistent service quality, and our Lifetime Labour Warranty backs all workmanship.

When a toilet blocks, won't flush properly, leaks from the base, or has a cracked cistern or bowl, it creates an urgent hygiene issue that needs resolution quickly. Blockages often result from excessive toilet paper, foreign objects flushed by mistake, or a partial obstruction further down the line that restricts flow. Leaks at the base can indicate a failed wax seal or a crack in the pan, both of which allow water (and waste) to seep onto the floor and potentially through to subfloor spaces.

Fixed Today handles toilet repairs and part replacements across Sydney's Northern regions, including clearing blockages, fixing cistern faults, replacing leaking flush valves, and installing new toilet suites when repair isn't viable. If the bowl is cracked or the internal trap is damaged, replacement is usually the safest and most permanent solution. We remove the old unit, prepare the waste outlet and water connection, install the new suite, seal it correctly, and test for leaks before finishing.

For blockages that don't clear with a plunger, we use specialised tools and, where needed, camera inspection to confirm what's causing the restriction and whether it's isolated to the toilet or part of a broader drainage issue. Once the scope is clarified, we provide a fixed quote and explain the approach before starting.

A functioning hot water service is essential for daily tasks like showering, washing dishes, and laundry. When hot water runs out faster than usual, arrives lukewarm, or stops entirely, the cause is often a failing heating element in electric systems, a faulty gas burner or pilot assembly in gas models, or sediment buildup inside the tank that insulates the heating mechanism and reduces efficiency. Visible rust in the water usually indicates internal tank corrosion or a deteriorated sacrificial anode rod.

We repair and install hot water systems across Sydney's Northern regions, working with major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai. The first visit involves diagnosing the fault: checking electrical connections and elements for electric storage systems, testing gas supply and burner operation for gas units, inspecting for leaks, and confirming the age and condition of the tank. Once the cause is identified, we provide a fixed quote for repair or replacement.

For replacements, we can often install a new system on the same day when the unit is in stock and site conditions allow. Installation includes safely disconnecting the old unit, fitting the new system in compliance with Australian Standards, installing the required Tempering Valve (limits water temperature to 50°C at taps to prevent scalding) and Pressure Relief Valve (prevents tank over-pressurisation), connecting water and energy supply, then testing the system to confirm it heats correctly and holds temperature.

If you're experiencing low water pressure, inconsistent temperatures, or no hot water at all, call 1800 349 338 to arrange an assessment. We can explain what's involved, confirm same-day availability where possible, and bring the replacement unit if that's the likely outcome based on the system's age and symptoms.

Burst pipes release water under mains pressure, which can flood rooms, damage flooring and walls, and saturate subfloor spaces within minutes. Pipes burst due to corrosion weakening the pipe wall over time, high water pressure stressing joints and weak points, ground movement or tree roots shifting the pipe, or freezing temperatures in winter causing water inside to expand and crack the pipe material. A burst constitutes an emergency because ongoing water flow causes escalating property damage the longer it continues.

When a pipe bursts, the immediate priority is isolating water supply to stop the flow. If you can safely access the main water shutoff valve (usually near the water meter or where the service line enters the property), turning it off will stop water reaching the burst section. If the valve is hard to reach or you're unsure which valve controls what, leave it and call a duly licensed plumbing technician immediately.

We respond to ruptured pipe emergencies across Sydney's Northern regions 24/7. The first step onsite is confirming water is isolated, then locating the exact burst point. For visible bursts in accessible areas, the repair involves cutting out the damaged section and installing a new pipe segment with secure fittings. For bursts behind walls or underground, we use electronic leak identification equipment to pinpoint the location before accessing the pipe.

Once the repair is complete, we turn the water back on gradually, check the repair holds under normal pressure, and inspect nearby sections for signs of stress or potential future failures. If the burst was caused by ground movement or high system pressure, we'll explain what contributed to the failure and whether additional work (like installing a pressure-limiting valve) is recommended to reduce future risk.

Pipe relining repairs damaged underground drainage and sewer pipes without excavation by inserting a resin-saturated liner inside the existing pipe, which cures to form a new structural pipe within the old one. This trenchless method works for pipes made of clay, terracotta, PVC, cast iron, or concrete, provided the original pipe hasn't completely collapsed. Relining is particularly useful when the damaged pipe runs under permanent structures like driveways, patios, indoor flooring, or established landscaping that would be costly and disruptive to excavate.

The relining process begins with a CCTV camera inspection to confirm the pipe's condition, locate damage precisely, and verify the line is suitable for relining. The pipe is then cleared and cleaned using high-pressure water jetting to remove debris, roots, and buildup from the interior walls. A flexible liner saturated with epoxy resin is inserted into the pipe, positioned over the damaged section, then inflated using air pressure or water. The resin cures (hardens) over several hours, bonding to the host pipe and creating a seamless, corrosion-resistant inner surface.

Fixed Today's pipe relining solutions provide a long-term repair that restores full flow capacity and structural integrity without the cost, time, and disruption of traditional excavation. Once cured, the relined section is tested for leaks and flow, and a final camera inspection confirms the repair quality. The work area is cleaned up, and in most cases, normal use can resume the same day once curing is complete.

Plumbing emergencies include burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups into the home, severe blockages causing flooding, or hot water unit failures in cold weather. These situations require immediate professional attention because the damage escalates quickly, and in the case of gas leaks, safety risks are present. Knowing who to call and having a reliable emergency plumber's contact saved reduces stress and response time when something goes wrong.

Fixed Today operates 24/7, 365 days a year for emergency plumbing across Sydney's Northern regions. When you call, we assess the urgency, dispatch the nearest available licensed, insured plumber, and provide an ETA based on their current location and traffic conditions. Urgent jobs are prioritised and sent out immediately to minimise property damage and restore safety as quickly as possible.

For active leaks, the immediate priority is isolating water supply to stop ongoing damage while the plumber is on the way. If you can safely access the main shutoff valve, turning it off will stop water flow to the affected area. For gas leaks, evacuate the property, ventilate by opening windows and doors from outside, and do not operate any electrical switches or create sparks until the gas fitter arrives and confirms it's safe.

Our emergency response includes diagnosing the fault, making the situation safe, then completing the necessary repair to restore function. If parts need to be sourced or the full repair requires daylight and dry conditions, we'll make a temporary repair to stop immediate damage and return to complete the permanent fix once conditions and materials are ready. Emergency call-out fees and after-hours charges apply for urgent work outside business hours; confirm the call-out fee status when you book so you know what to expect.
