Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Silverwater?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Silverwater by locating the obstruction and removing it using methods suited to the pipe type and blockage location. We dispatch from our West Sydney hub, typically reaching properties in the Silverwater area within standard response windows for both urgent and scheduled work; this covers residential, strata, and commercial drainage across the suburb including industrial precincts near Parramatta Road and residential pockets toward the river. If inspection reveals structural damage or root penetration beyond clearing alone, the next step is explained and a fixed quote is provided once scope is agreed.

Over 15 years working across Sydney's western suburbs means we see drainage patterns that vary by property age and usage. In Silverwater, blocked drains often trace back to grease and sediment buildup in older commercial areas, or debris and tree root intrusion in residential sections. We confirm the cause with high-definition camera inspection equipment before choosing the clearing method, whether that's high-pressure jetting for stubborn blockages or mechanical augers for foreign objects.

Our licensed plumbers are equipped to handle a range of plumbing needs across Silverwater, including:

  • Unblocking kitchen, bathroom, and external drains affected by grease, hair, soap buildup, or debris
  • Clearing sewer lines where tree roots have entered cracks in aging pipework
  • Repairing leaking taps and fixtures
  • Installing and repairing hot water systems when consistent temperature or supply becomes unreliable
  • Addressing toilet faults that cause constant running, slow fill, or poor flushing

We're a family-owned business with a near-perfect 5-star rating across 800+ verified reviews. Our pricing is fixed and quoted upfront before work begins, with no hidden costs added later. All technicians arrive in uniform, carry NSW plumbing licences, and are police-checked. We protect floors with drop sheets, explain what we're doing before starting, and clean up the work area once the job is finished. Backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, the service is built around making the process clear and the outcome reliable.

Expert Silverwater Blocked Drain Services

Blocked drains across Silverwater properties are cleared using diagnostic tools to confirm the obstruction type and location before any physical work begins. We use high-definition drain inspection cameras to identify whether the blockage is grease and debris, tree root intrusion, or a foreign object lodged in the line. Once the cause is confirmed, we select the appropriate clearing method and provide a fixed price quote. This covers typical external and internal blockages in accessible commercial and domestic drainage; if the CCTV check shows collapsed sections or structural damage requiring excavation or relining, those options are explained separately and priced once scope is verified.

Silverwater sits within our West Sydney service area, with dispatch managed from our nearby hub. That proximity supports same-day availability for standard drainage jobs and immediate dispatch for emergencies where water is actively backing up or flowing into occupied areas. An ETA is provided when you book, updated if traffic or prior job timing shifts. For commercial properties near Parramatta Road or strata buildings toward the river, we coordinate around access time slots and confirm any parking or entry requirements before arrival.

The clearing process follows a consistent sequence: CCTV inspection to locate and identify the blockage, high-pressure jetting or mechanical clearing depending on the obstruction type, then a final camera pass to verify the line is fully restored and check for any wear or damage that might cause future issues. We test flow after clearing and explain what was found. If there's an underlying issue like root penetration or deteriorating pipe walls, we walk through the longer-term options before leaving, so you can decide on next steps with full information.

What sets our Silverwater drainage work apart is the transparency around pricing and scope. The quote you receive is the price you pay, with no call-out fee for most Silverwater addresses and no added hourly charges once work begins. All technicians are NSW-licensed plumbers, police-checked, and covered by Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. That insurance protects you if accidental property damage occurs during the work, and covers workplace injury liability while the technician is onsite.

Whether you're dealing with a slow-draining shower, a blocked sewer line in the yard, or recurring kitchen sink backups, we're set up to assess the situation and provide a permanent resolution. Silverwater residents rely on clear communication and dependable service. We deliver both, backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship completed.

Fixed Upfront Pricing

We provide a fixed-price quote before work starts, priced by the job rather than the hour. The quote you receive is the price you pay, with no hidden costs added later for scope that was visible during the initial assessment.

800+ Verified Reviews

With a near-perfect 5-star rating across more than 800 verified customer reviews, our reputation is built on consistently clear communication, reliable workmanship, and follow-through on what we quote and commit to.

24/7 Dispatch Availability

Urgent drainage jobs are dispatched immediately from our West Sydney hub. For Silverwater properties, that typically means arrival within standard emergency response windows, with ETA updates provided when you book and again if timing shifts.

Licensed & Fully Insured

All attending plumbers hold current NSW licences (Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C). We carry Public Liability insurance, which protects you if accidental property damage occurs, and Workers Compensation, covering workplace injury liability onsite.

Clearing Blocked Drains

A blocked drain restricts water flow, causing slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or backflow into sinks, showers, and toilets. In Silverwater homes and businesses, the usual culprits are grease and fat solidification in kitchen lines, hair and soap scum buildup in bathroom drains, tree roots infiltrating cracks in older clay or terracotta pipes, or foreign objects flushed into the system. If left unaddressed, restricted drainage can lead to standing water, unpleasant odours, and potential overflow damage when pressure builds behind the obstruction.

We start every blocked drain job with a high-definition CCTV drain CCTV inspection. The camera travels through the line and transmits real-time video, showing exactly where the blockage sits, what it's made of, and whether there's any structural damage to the pipe walls. That diagnostic step prevents guesswork and ensures the clearing method matches the obstruction type. For grease, soap, and organic buildup, high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) is typically the most effective approach, using specialized nozzles that fire water at controlled pressure to scour the pipe interior and flush debris clear. For solid foreign objects or compacted root masses, mechanical augers (electric eels) may be used to break up or retrieve the obstruction.

Once the blockage is cleared, we run a final camera pass to verify the line is fully restored and check for any wear, cracks, or root intrusion points that could cause future issues. Flow is tested onsite to confirm drainage is back to normal. If the inspection reveals structural problems like collapsing sections, displaced joints, or extensive root penetration, we explain what that means and outline the repair options, whether that's pipe relining (a trenchless method that strengthens pipes from the inside) or targeted excavation and replacement. A fixed quote is provided once the scope is finalised, so you can decide on the next step with full cost visibility.

Blocked drains in Silverwater often follow patterns we recognise from working across Sydney's western suburbs. Older residential areas near the river may have original clay pipes vulnerable to tree root intrusion, particularly during dry periods when roots seek moisture. Commercial and industrial properties along Parramatta Road tend to see grease and sediment accumulation in high-use kitchen and bathroom drains. We adjust our approach based on what the camera shows and what the property layout tells us about access, pipe age, and usage patterns.

Our drainage service includes clear pricing, with no call-out fee for most Silverwater addresses. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If you're dealing with slow drains, gurgling, or foul smells coming from sinks or floor drains, contact us for an assessment. We'll identify the cause, clear the line, and confirm whether any follow-up work is needed to prevent recurrence.

Burst Pipes

When a pipe bursts in Silverwater, water escapes under pressure, causing immediate property damage and often flooding basements, walls, or ceiling cavities. Burst pipes typically result from age-related corrosion in older metal pipes, ground movement that stresses joints, freezing and expansion in exposed sections during rare cold snaps, or sudden pressure surges when valves close too quickly. The priority is isolating the water supply to stop flow and prevent further damage, then arranging an assessment so the affected section can be accessed, inspected, and repaired or replaced.

We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch for ruptured pipe situations in Silverwater. When you call, we send the nearest available licensed plumber from our West Sydney hub and provide an ETA. On arrival, the plumber isolates the water supply if it hasn't been shut off already, assesses the damage, and explains the repair approach. Depending on the pipe location and material, the solution may involve replacing the damaged section with new pipework, or using pipe relining where access is limited, a trenchless method that inserts a resin-lined sleeve into the existing pipe and cures it in place, creating a seamless, durable internal layer.

Burst pipe repairs require careful attention to access, particularly in built-up areas where walls, floors, or landscaping may need to be opened. We protect surrounding surfaces with drop sheets, explain what needs to be accessed before starting, and restore the area as close to original condition as possible once the repair is finished. Where excavation is necessary, we coordinate with strata or property managers if common property boundaries are involved, and can provide documentation suitable for insurance claims or maintenance records.

For concealed leaks where water damage is visible but the pipe location isn't obvious, we use electronic ultrasonic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the source without unnecessary demolition. Once located, the repair follows our standard process: isolate, access, repair, test pressure and flow, then verify there are no secondary leaks before leaving. All broken pipe repairs are covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, with manufacturer warranties applying to any replacement fittings or sections installed.

If you suspect a broken pipe, whether from visible water pooling, sudden pressure loss, or sounds of running water when taps are off, contact us immediately. Same-day service is available for urgent situations, and we provide a fixed-price quote once the damage is assessed and access requirements are confirmed.

Emergency Drainage Problems

Drainage emergencies, where water is actively backing up into occupied areas or sewage is overflowing, require immediate attention to limit property damage and health risks. Fixed Today Plumbing operates 24/7 emergency dispatch across Silverwater, with urgent jobs sent out first from our West Sydney hub. When you call, we confirm the nature of the problem, provide an ETA, and can offer brief safety-first guidance if there's an immediate risk (such as isolating water supply or evacuating the affected area) while the plumber is on the way.

Common emergency drainage situations we respond to include:

  • Sewer lines backing up into toilets, showers, or floor drains
  • Burst pipes flooding internal spaces or basements
  • Overflowing toilets where the blockage cannot be cleared with a plunger
  • Hot water system failures causing scalding risk or flooding
  • Significant water leaks behind walls or under floors
  • Blocked sewer drains where multiple fixtures are affected simultaneously

Our emergency response follows a clear sequence: arrive onsite, assess the immediate safety and damage risk, isolate water or sewage flow if needed, then diagnose the fault using cameras or leak detection equipment. Once the cause is confirmed, we explain what's involved in resolving it and provide a fixed-price quote before starting any non-urgent work. For genuine emergencies where further delay increases damage, we prioritise making the situation safe and stopping active flow, then confirm the full scope and quote the permanent repair.

All emergency work is carried out by NSW-licensed plumbers with police checks and full insurance coverage. We arrive in uniform, carry ID, and can verify our credentials before entering your property. Equipment is carried in fully stocked mobile workshops, meaning we have the tools, parts, and diagnostic gear needed to resolve most issues without follow-up visits. If specialist equipment or parts are required, we explain the next step and can schedule the follow-up work at a time that suits your availability.

For Silverwater emergency plumbing, contact us any time of day or night. We understand how stressful plumbing emergencies can be, and our team is trained to communicate clearly, work efficiently, and restore function as quickly as conditions allow. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Gas Fitting

Gas work in Silverwater must be completed by licensed gas fitters who hold current NSW credentials and follow AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. Fixed Today Plumbing's technicians are licensed for gas fitting, installation, and leak detection. We handle new gas point installations, appliance connections, hot water system installations, and urgent gas leak repairs. All completed gas work includes pressure testing to verify the system is gas-tight before it's recommissioned, with compliance documentation provided where required by local regulations.

If you smell gas, a distinctive rotten egg odour added to natural gas as a safety signal, evacuate the area immediately, avoid using electrical switches or open flames, and call us from a safe location. Our 24/7 emergency gas service dispatches a properly licensed gas fitter who will locate the leak using combustible gas detectors or thermal imaging, isolate the affected section, and repair the fault. Gas leaks can occur at appliance connections, aging pipe joints, or underground lines damaged by ground movement. The repair approach depends on the leak location and severity, ranging from tightening or replacing fittings to replacing corroded sections or relining underground gas lines.

Our gas fitting services in Silverwater include:

  • Installing new gas points for cooktops, ovens, heaters, and outdoor appliances
  • Connecting and commissioning gas hot water systems
  • Replacing or upgrading gas lines to meet current safety standards
  • Gas leak detection and repair using specialized equipment
  • Annual safety inspections and pressure testing for commercial and strata properties

Gas installations require careful attention to pipe sizing, ventilation, and appliance clearances. We confirm the existing gas supply capacity, check that the proposed installation meets Australian Standards for spacing and ventilation, then complete the work and test the system before leaving. Where upgrades to the main gas line are needed to support additional appliances, we explain what's involved and provide a fixed quote once the scope is confirmed onsite.

For suspected gas leaks or planned gas installations, contact Fixed Today Plumbing. Our licensed gas fitters work across Silverwater residential, strata, and commercial properties, with full insurance coverage and clear communication throughout the process. All gas fitting work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Hot Water Systems

A functioning hot water system is essential for daily routines in Silverwater homes and businesses. When hot water becomes inconsistent, runs cold, or stops entirely, the usual causes are sediment buildup insulating the heating element or burner, a failing sacrificial anode rod allowing tank corrosion, thermostat faults, or component wear in older units. We install, repair, and maintain electric storage, gas continuous flow, and heat pump systems from brands including Rheem, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax, and Thermann.

Hot water system installations in Silverwater must comply with AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards and National Construction Code requirements. That includes mandatory Tempering Valves to limit outlet temperature to 50°C (preventing scalding at taps) and Pressure Relief Valves to prevent tank over-pressurization. We confirm the existing power or gas supply capacity, assess whether the proposed unit suits household demand, then complete the installation and commission the system with full testing before leaving. Where upgrades to electrical circuits or gas lines are needed, we explain what's involved and coordinate with licensed electricians where electrical work falls outside our scope.

For hot water unit faults, we start with a diagnostic visit to confirm the cause. Common issues we see across Silverwater properties include:

  1. Rust-coloured water indicating anode rod failure or internal tank corrosion
  2. Fluctuating temperatures caused by sediment buildup or thermostat drift
  3. No hot water due to heating element, gas burner, or pilot light failure
  4. Leaking tanks or fittings requiring urgent isolation and replacement
  5. Noisy operation from sediment accumulation or expansion valve issues

Once the fault is diagnosed, we explain whether repair or replacement is the more cost-effective option. Older units with multiple failing components often cost more to repair than replace, particularly when energy efficiency and warranty coverage are factored in. We provide fixed quotes for both options where applicable, so you can decide based on full cost visibility and expected service life.

We offer 24/7 emergency hot water service across Silverwater for situations where the system has failed completely or is leaking actively. Same-day installation is often possible for standard replacement units, depending on stock availability and access requirements. All hot water installations are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, with manufacturer warranties covering the tank and components.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in Silverwater

What causes blocked drains in Silverwater properties?

Blocked drains in Silverwater typically result from grease and fat solidifying in kitchen pipes, hair and soap scum accumulating in bathroom drains, tree roots infiltrating cracks in older clay or terracotta lines, or foreign objects like wipes and sanitary products flushed into the system. Over time, these materials restrict water flow and can cause backups if not cleared.

How do you clear a drain blockage without damaging pipes?

We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to locate and identify the blockage before choosing a clearing method. High-pressure water jetting is used for grease, debris, and organic buildup, while mechanical augers handle solid obstructions. This diagnostic approach ensures the method matches the blockage type and avoids unnecessary stress on pipe walls.

What does a fixed-price quote for blocked drains include?

A fixed-price quote covers the CCTV check, clearing the blockage using the appropriate method, and verification testing to confirm flow is restored. If the inspection reveals structural damage or extensive root intrusion requiring relining or excavation, those options are explained separately and quoted once scope is finalised.

How quickly can you reach Silverwater for a blocked drain emergency?

Urgent drainage jobs are dispatched immediately from our West Sydney hub. For Silverwater properties, arrival typically falls within standard emergency response windows, depending on current bookings and traffic conditions. An ETA is provided when you book and updated if timing shifts, so you know when to expect the plumber.

Is there a call-out fee for Silverwater blocked drain jobs?

Most Silverwater addresses have no call-out fee, but it's worth confirming the call-out fee status for your specific location when you book. Our pricing is fixed and quoted upfront before work begins, with no hidden costs added later for scope that was visible during the initial assessment.

Can tree roots be cleared without digging up the yard?

High-pressure water jetting can remove tree roots from pipes in many cases, restoring flow without excavation. If roots have caused structural damage or the pipe has collapsed, trenchless pipe relining may be an option, creating a new internal pipe layer without digging. Where excavation is necessary, we explain why and provide a fixed quote once access requirements are confirmed.

What should I do if water is backing up into my Silverwater home?

Stop using water fixtures immediately to prevent further backup, then contact us for emergency dispatch. If sewage is involved, avoid contact and evacuate the affected area if odours are strong. We'll send the nearest available plumber to isolate flow, assess the blockage, and clear the line as quickly as conditions allow.

How often should drains be inspected to prevent blockages?

For residential properties, an annual CCTV check and maintenance cleaning helps identify early signs of buildup, root intrusion, or structural wear before they cause blockages. Commercial and strata properties with high usage may benefit from more frequent inspections, particularly if recurring blockages have occurred in the past.

Does insurance cover clogged drain damage in Silverwater?

We carry Public Liability insurance, which protects you if accidental property damage occurs during our work. For damage caused by the blockage itself, coverage depends on your home or building insurance policy terms. We can provide documentation of findings and work completed to support any insurance claims you need to lodge.

What warranty covers drain blockage work in Silverwater?

All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, meaning if a fault occurs due to how the work was performed, we return and correct it at no additional charge. Manufacturer warranties apply to any parts or equipment installed, with warranty durations varying by component and brand.
