Plumber Shalvey

Professional plumbing services in Shalvey cover blocked drains, hot water faults, gas work, ruptured pipes, and general repairs for homes and businesses across the 2770 postcode. Fixed Today Plumbing operates from local dispatch points, including our West Sydney hub, so urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated. We provide same-day service for most bookings when scheduled early enough, and 24/7 emergency response when safety is at risk. Every attending plumber is licensed in NSW (our master licence is 305428C) and carries comprehensive insurance, which means you're protected if something goes wrong during the work.

What sets our service apart is the approach to pricing and scope confirmation. We provide a fixed-fee quote before work starts, based on what we find during the onsite assessment. That price is what you pay, no hourly rate fluctuations, no surprise add-ons at the end. If the inspection reveals something beyond the original scope, we explain the options and confirm the revised quote before proceeding. You decide once you know the full picture.

Our plumbers arrive in fully stocked vehicles with diagnostic tools like high-definition CCTV drain cameras, high-pressure water jetters, and electronic leak detectors. This means most jobs can be assessed, quoted, and completed on the first visit without needing to schedule a return trip for parts. We test outcomes before leaving (flow rates after clearing a drain, pressure checks after a gas repair, function tests after a hot water installation) so you know the work is done properly.

Blocked drains in Shalvey properties are typically caused by tree root intrusion in older terracotta or clay pipes, or fat and grease buildup in kitchen lines. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blockages using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting), which fires water at controlled pressures to break up roots, scour grease from pipe walls, and flush debris through to the main sewer. Before clearing, we run a high-definition CCTV drain camera to locate the blockage, identify the cause, and check for any structural damage that might need addressing after the line is clear.

What often happens is this: tree roots seek moisture and enter pipes through tiny cracks or join points, then expand over time and trap solid waste, creating a full blockage. Kitchen drains accumulate fat, oil, and grease (FOG), which solidifies as it cools and narrows the pipe diameter. Both scenarios reduce flow first, slow draining sinks or showers, before escalating to a complete backup if left unattended.

If the camera inspection reveals structural issues like cracked pipes or collapsed sections, we explain the repair options (excavation vs trenchless pipe relining) and provide a separate fixed-price quote for that work. The priority is restoring flow and preventing property damage, then addressing the underlying cause so the blockage doesn't recur.

Roof and gutter leaks cause water damage to ceilings, walls, and structural framing if not addressed quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing locates the entry point (damaged flashing, cracked tiles, blocked or corroded gutters), confirms the extent of the damage, and repairs or replaces the affected components to restore weather-tightness. We also check downpipes and stormwater connections to ensure water is draining away from the building as intended.

In Western Sydney properties, we commonly see gutter overflows during heavy rain due to leaf buildup or undersized downpipes, and flashing failures around roof penetrations like vents and chimneys. If left unchecked, these small entry points allow water into the roof cavity, where it can saturate insulation, damage plasterboard, and promote mould growth. Early intervention prevents costly structural repairs later.

Our approach is to fix the immediate leak first, then assess whether broader maintenance (gutter cleaning, re-sealing, or additional downpipes) is needed to prevent recurrence. We explain what we find and provide options with transparent pricing, so you know the full scope before committing to additional work.

Toilet faults disrupt household comfort and hygiene quickly. Fixed Today handles running toilets, leaks (from the base, cistern, or supply line), blockages, and flush mechanism failures. Our fully prepared vehicles carry common replacement parts (cistern components, flush valves, inlet valves, pan collars) so most repairs can be completed during the same visit without needing to order parts or schedule a return trip.

A common pattern we see is this: a toilet that keeps running after flushing usually has a faulty flapper valve or inlet valve that isn't seating properly, allowing water to continuously flow into the bowl. A leak from the base typically signals a worn wax ring or damaged pan collar where the toilet meets the waste pipe. Both are straightforward repairs once diagnosed, but ignoring them leads to water waste, higher bills, and potential floor damage from base leaks.

We provide a fixed-price quote after confirming the fault and what's needed to fix it. If the toilet itself is cracked or beyond economical repair, we'll explain replacement options with pricing for both the fixture and installation labour, backed by our workmanship warranty.

A ruptured pipe demands immediate action to limit water damage and protect property. Fixed Today Plumbing responds urgently to burst pipe emergencies across Shalvey, isolating the water supply, assessing the damage, and repairing or replacing the affected section to restore safe water flow. We use electronic leak detection equipment to locate hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs without unnecessary demolition, then confirm the repair scope and provide a fixed-price quote before proceeding.

What often causes pipes to burst is this: aging galvanised steel or copper pipes corrode from the inside over time, weakening the pipe wall until water pressure causes a split. Sudden pressure surges (water hammer) or ground movement in reactive clay soils can also stress pipe joints and cause failures. If you're hearing banging noises when taps are turned off or noticing damp patches on walls and ceilings, it's worth booking an assessment before a full burst occurs.

For leaking pipes where structural damage is found during inspection (cracked sections, corroded joints, root intrusion), we explain repair options including traditional excavation and replacement or trenchless pipe relining, which creates a new pipe inside the old one without digging. We also offer CCTV drain inspections to identify the root cause and extent of damage, ensuring the repair addresses the underlying problem and prevents recurrence.

General plumbing services in Shalvey cover routine maintenance, repairs, and installations for homes and businesses across the 2770 postcode. Fixed Today handles tap replacements, leaking fixtures, toilet repairs, bathroom and kitchen plumbing work, drain maintenance, backflow prevention device testing, and water system inspections. Our fully equipped vehicles and trained technicians are ready to assist with any plumbing situation, whether it's an urgent repair or a planned upgrade.

What makes general plumbing reliable is the approach to assessment and quoting. We confirm what's needed during the first visit, explain the work involved in plain English, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting. You decide once you know the full scope and cost. If inspection reveals additional issues that weren't visible initially, we explain those separately and confirm the revised quote before proceeding with any extra work.

Services also include gas appliance installations, roof and gutter inspections, and emergency repairs for after-hours callouts. We prioritise customer satisfaction by keeping work areas tidy, testing outcomes before leaving, and standing by the work we complete with our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If you're ever unsatisfied with the result, we'll return and make it right.
