Plumber South Granville

We handle general plumbing maintenance and repairs across South Granville homes and businesses, leaking taps, running toilets, blocked kitchen sinks, shower leaks, and broken pipe repairs. The process follows a consistent sequence: diagnose the fault onsite using CCTV cameras or leak detection equipment where needed, confirm what's required and provide a fixed-price quote, complete the installation or repair to Australian plumbing standards, then test the system and tidy up before leaving. That way, you know the cost before work starts, and the outcome is verified before we pack up.

Our team has been operating in the Sydney market for over 15 years, which gives us a reference library of similar jobs, ageing hot water systems that fail during winter demand spikes, tree roots entering clay sewer lines in the older sections of Western Sydney, and gas appliances that need reconnection after kitchen renovations. That history means we can usually predict how long a job will take and what complications might surface during inspection, allowing us to set realistic expectations when you call.

All attending technicians are NSW-licensed plumbers and arrive in uniform with identification ready at the door. We use drop sheets to protect floors and finishes in occupied homes, and technicians wear boot covers when requested or when site conditions require it. The work area is cleaned once the job's complete, with debris removed and fittings left functional. Our mobile workshops carry premium replacement parts, so most repairs are completed during the first visit without waiting for special orders.

Fixed Today operates with 24/7 emergency availability across the Western Sydney region, covering suburbs like Busby, Spring Farm, Mays Hill, and Smithfield. For South Granville, dispatch originates from our West Sydney hub, and urgent calls are allocated to the nearest available technician. An ETA is provided when booking where traffic and current job load allow accurate estimates.

Hot water system repairs and installations in South Granville cover electric storage tanks, continuous flow gas units, and heat pump systems. We assess whether a failing unit can be repaired cost-effectively or whether replacement makes more sense given the system's age and condition. For newer tanks showing rust-coloured water or pressure relief valve leaks, repairs often extend the lifespan; for units over a decade old with corroded anodes or failing elements, replacement usually provides better long-term value and energy efficiency.

A sudden loss of hot water supply, inconsistent temperatures, or visible rust in the water are the usual warning signs. In storage systems, sediment buildup at the tank bottom insulates the heating element or gas burner, reducing efficiency and sometimes causing early failure. The sacrificial anode rod inside the tank corrodes over time to protect the steel lining; once that rod is consumed, the tank itself starts to corrode, leading to leaks that can't be repaired.

Our technicians arrive with the diagnostic tools needed to test heating elements, thermostats, and pressure relief valves. For gas systems, we check burner operation, pilot lights, and gas pressure to confirm whether the fault is in the appliance or upstream. That onsite assessment determines whether a component replacement will solve the problem or whether the system has reached end-of-life.

If replacement is recommended, we explain the options, electric, gas, or heat pump, and what each system offers in terms of running costs, space requirements, and installation constraints. Under the National Construction Code, all hot water supply installations require Tempering Valves (limiting tap temperature to 50°C to prevent scalding) and Pressure Relief Valves (preventing tank over-pressurisation). We handle the installation to those standards and test flow, temperature, and safety devices before leaving. For South Granville properties, we confirm the existing connection type (mains pressure or gravity-fed) and whether switchboard capacity supports the new system, avoiding surprises during installation.

Gas fitting work in South Granville includes new appliance installations (cooktops, ovens, hot water systems), gas leak detection and repairs, appliance reconnections after renovations, and gas line maintenance to ensure safe operation. All gas work must be performed by a NSW-licensed gas fitter under AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards, and a compliance certificate is issued after installation or alteration to verify the system is gas-tight and meets regulatory requirements; only licensed professionals can legally perform this work, as incorrect installation or repairs create serious safety risks including fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide exposure.

A gas smell, often described as a sulphurous "rotten egg" odour due to the added mercaptan safety compound, requires immediate professional assessment. Other indicators include hissing sounds near appliances or pipework, unusual soot buildup on burners, or pilot lights that won't stay lit. If you detect these signs, arrange an inspection rather than attempting diagnosis yourself.

Our licensed gas fitters use combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to locate leaks in concealed sections behind walls or under floors. Once identified, the faulty section is isolated, repaired or replaced, and the entire system undergoes a pressure loss test—holding gas pressure for a specified duration to confirm the network is sealed with no detectable leaks. That test is mandatory under safety regulations before the system is recommissioned.

For new appliance installations, we confirm the existing gas supply has adequate capacity and pressure to support the additional load. The connection is made using approved fittings and tested for leaks, with all joints checked using leak detection solution. For South Granville properties undergoing kitchen or bathroom renovations, we handle gas disconnection before demolition and reconnection once new appliances are positioned, ensuring compliance at every stage and providing the necessary certification for council and insurance purposes.

Emergency plumbing call-outs in South Granville covers urgent situations where immediate professional attention prevents further damage or safety risk, active water leaks causing flooding, sewage backups into the home, burst pipes under pressure, or gas leaks requiring isolation. We dispatch the nearest available licensed service technician from our West Sydney hub as soon as the call is received, and an ETA is provided where traffic and current job allocation allow accurate estimates; the immediate goal is to make the situation safe by isolating water or gas supply, then assess what's required for permanent repair and provide a fixed quote before proceeding with the work.

If you have an active water leak and can't locate the isolation valve, the safest step while waiting is to turn off water at the main meter if accessible, then call for dispatch. For gas smells, evacuate the property, avoid operating electrical switches or ignition sources, and contact us from outside the building so a licensed gas fitter can assess the system and isolate supply if necessary. We don't ask you to diagnose the fault, that's confirmed onsite during the first visit.

Our emergency response operates 24/7, which means calls are answered around the clock and urgent jobs are allocated immediately to the closest available plumber with the right equipment for the situation. That dispatch model reduces travel time from our localised hubs, and technicians arrive in fully stocked mobile workshops equipped with replacement parts, leak location tools, CCTV cameras, and high-pressure jetting equipment for most common emergency scenarios.

Once the immediate risk is controlled, water isolated, gas shut off, flooding contained, we explain what caused the failure and what's needed for permanent repair. That assessment includes checking surrounding areas for secondary damage or related faults that might surface later. The fixed quote provided covers the work required to restore safe, functional operation, and you decide whether to proceed once the scope and cost are confirmed. After repairs are completed, we test the system to verify normal operation and clean up the work area before leaving.

When you contact us for plumbing work in South Granville, the first question is usually if it's urgent or can be scheduled. Urgent jobs, active leaks, gas smells, sewage backups, are dispatched immediately. Standard work is scheduled based on availability, and we provide an arrival window once the booking is confirmed. For South Granville addresses, dispatch typically originates from our West Sydney hub, and an ETA is provided where traffic and current job load allow accurate estimates.

All attending technicians are licensed in NSW for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting. They arrive in uniform with identification ready at the door, and police and background checks are completed as part of our hiring process. If you have specific entry instructions or security preferences, let us know when booking and we'll follow those protocols.

The first step onsite is assessing what's causing the issue. That might involve running a CCTV camera through drainage lines, using leak detection equipment to locate hidden bursts, or testing gas appliances and pressure to confirm where the fault lies. Once the problem is diagnosed, we explain what's found in plain English, no jargon or over-complication, and outline what's required to fix it. The fixed-price quote provided at that point covers the work described; if inspection reveals additional issues, we explain what's needed and provide a revised quote before proceeding with extra work.

During the job, we use drop sheets or protective coverings to protect floors and surfaces in the work area. Boot covers are worn when requested or when conditions require it. We isolate the work area where practical to reduce mess and keep disruption low in occupied homes or operating businesses. The work is completed to Australian Standards and tested before we pack up—flow rates checked, leaks verified as sealed, systems confirmed operational.

After the job, we clean up the work area and remove any debris generated during the repair. Receipts and invoices are provided for your records, and compliance certificates are issued where required for gas installations or regulated plumbing work. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty backs all workmanship, which means if a fault develops in the work we've completed, we'll return and resolve it. Manufacturer warranties on parts and appliances are provided separately and explained when those items are installed.
