Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in South Granville?

Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains across South Granville by dispatching licensed plumbers from our West Sydney hub, with same-day service available for standard enquiries and immediate dispatch for emergencies. We diagnose the blockage location and cause using high-definition CCTV cameras, then clear the line with high-pressure water jetting or mechanical methods depending on what the inspection reveals. Upfront upfront pricing is confirmed before work starts, backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship and full Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance that protects you if accidental property damage occurs during the job.

Drainage issues happen without warning. A slow-draining kitchen sink one morning can become a fully clogged drain by evening. Our team is available 24/7 because blocked drains don't respect business hours. When you call, we allocate the nearest available plumber, confirm the call-out fee status for your suburb when booking, and provide an ETA based on current workload and traffic conditions from the dispatch hub.

South Granville sits within Sydney Water's jurisdiction, so any work affecting sewer connections follows their compliance requirements. We handle the paperwork when it's needed. Our fully stocked mobile workshops carry the parts and tools required to diagnose and resolve typical residential blockages onsite during the first visit, subject to access and the nature of the obstruction.

Comprehensive Plumbing Services in South Granville

Fixed Today Plumbing handles drainage blockages, burst pipe repairs, hot water service unit installations, gas fitting, and general plumbing across South Granville and surrounding Western Sydney suburbs. Our large multi-van fleet allows us to schedule urgent jobs first while maintaining same-day availability for non-emergency work. Each attending plumber is NSW-licensed (Licence 305428C) and arrives in uniform with police and background checks completed, so you know who's entering your property.

In practice, we see drainage work make up a significant portion of callouts in the Parramatta area. Kitchen sink blockages often trace back to fat and grease solidifying in the trap or waste line. Shower and laundry blockages typically involve hair, soap residue, or lint buildup. External sewer lines can be affected by tree root intrusion, especially where mature trees are present near the property boundary.

Our diagnostic process starts with confirming the affected area and symptoms. A CCTV CCTV inspection shows us what's inside the pipe: the blockage type, depth, exact location, and whether there's structural damage like cracks or root penetration. Once the scope is clear, we provide a fixed-price quote before starting any clearing or repair work. The price is set by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden charges added later.

High-pressure water jetting clears most obstructions by firing water at controlled pressure to scour pipe walls and pulverise roots or grease. For tougher blockages or foreign objects, we use mechanical drain snakes. If inspection reveals pipe damage beyond a simple blockage, we explain the options (repair, reline, or replacement) and confirm the new scope before proceeding. You decide once the full picture is clear.

We protect floors with drop sheets, clean up the work area at the end, and test the system to confirm flow is restored. Same-day service and free quotes are standard across our South Granville service area, subject to booking availability. Call 1800 349 338 to confirm timing and arrange an assessment.

Fixed Upfront Pricing

We confirm the full price before work starts, based on the diagnosed scope. The quote is valid for one month and the price doesn't change once agreed.

Blocked Drain? We've Got You Covered!

A blockage in your South Granville drainage system stops wastewater from leaving the property, causing slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or water backing up into sinks, showers, or toilets. Left unaddressed, standing water can damage fixtures, create unpleasant odours, and in severe cases lead to overflow and water damage inside the home. Most blockages are caused by grease and fat buildup in kitchen lines, hair and soap residue in bathroom drains, tree roots penetrating older sewer pipes, or foreign objects (wipes, sanitary products) that don't break down in water.

When a drain blocks, the first question is where the restriction is and what's causing it. Surface-level blockages in traps or waste arms can sometimes be cleared mechanically. Deeper obstructions in underground lines require camera inspection to locate the problem and confirm whether it's debris or structural damage. That's why we start with a CCTV inspection when symptoms point to a main line blockage.

The camera feeds live vision back to a monitor, showing us the pipe condition, any cracks or root intrusion, and the exact distance to the blockage from the access point. This removes guesswork. Once we know what we're dealing with, we select the clearing method: high-pressure water jetting for grease and roots, mechanical augering for solid obstructions, or further CCTV assessment if structural damage is present.

Hydro-jetting uses a specialized nozzle that fires water forward and backward simultaneously, scouring the pipe interior as it travels down the line. It's highly effective for organic buildup and root masses, and it doesn't damage PVC, clay, or cast iron pipes when operated correctly. After clearing, we flush the line and run the camera through again to confirm the obstruction is gone and flow is fully restored.

If the inspection shows cracked pipes, collapsed sections, or severe root penetration, pipe relining may be recommended. This is a no-dig method where a resin-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and cured in place, creating a new structural pipe inside the old one. It avoids excavation under driveways, gardens, or paved areas. We explain the process, provide a fixed quote for the additional work, and confirm your approval before proceeding.

For blocked drains in South Granville, contact Fixed Today on 1800 349 338 to arrange a CCTV inspection and fixed-price quote. We'll confirm the call-out fee status for your suburb when booking and provide an arrival window once dispatch is scheduled.

Got a Burst Pipe? No Worries!

Burst pipes release pressurised water inside walls, under floors, or in the ground, causing immediate water damage, dropping household water pressure, and driving up water bills until the leak is isolated. In residential properties, bursts typically occur where pipes corrode through (older galvanised steel or copper), where joints fail due to ground movement, or where freezing temperatures cause expansion and cracking (less common in Sydney but possible during cold snaps in elevated areas).

If you see water pooling, hear running water when all fixtures are off, or notice damp patches spreading across walls or ceilings, isolate the water supply at the main valve and call a duly licensed plumber (NSW). Continuing to run water through a burst section accelerates damage and increases the repair cost. Our 24/7 emergency service means a plumber can be dispatched immediately to assess the damage, locate the burst, and make the system safe.

On arrival, we confirm the affected section, check whether the burst is in an accessible pipe or buried underground, and explain the repair options. Accessible bursts in exposed copper or PVC can often be cut out and replaced with a new section on the spot, provided we have the fittings onsite (which we usually do in our mobile workshop). Underground bursts require excavation unless pipe relining is suitable for the pipe type and damage location.

Pipe relining avoids digging up gardens, driveways, or paved areas by inserting a structural liner inside the damaged pipe. It's faster and less disruptive than traditional excavation, and the cured liner is durable and corrosion-resistant. We assess whether relining is viable during the inspection and provide a fixed quote for that method versus traditional replacement. You choose the approach once you know the cost and timeframe for each option.

After the repair is completed (whether by replacement or relining), we test the system under pressure to confirm the leak is sealed and water flow is restored. We also check for related leaks elsewhere in the system, since a burst in one section can indicate broader corrosion or pressure issues. The work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and a receipt is provided for insurance or property records.

For urgent broken pipe repairs in South Granville, call 1800 349 338 any time. We'll dispatch the nearest available plumber and provide an ETA once the job is allocated.

When Blocked Drains Become Emergency

An overflowing toilet or raw sewage backing up into showers and floor drains is a health hazard and requires urgent attention. These situations occur when a main sewer line is completely blocked and wastewater has nowhere to go except back up through the lowest fixture in the property. Immediate action reduces the risk of contamination and limits damage to flooring and furnishings.

Our 24/7 emergency plumbing service exists for these situations. When you call outside business hours, the call goes to an on-duty plumber who can be dispatched immediately, not a voicemail or answering service. We prioritise active overflow and sewage backup over non-urgent work, and the nearest plumber is allocated regardless of the time or day. Arrival timing depends on where the plumber is dispatched from and current traffic, but you'll receive an ETA when the job is assigned.

Emergency callouts in South Granville follow the same diagnostic process as standard work: locate the blockage, assess the cause, confirm the clearing method, and provide a fixed quote before starting. The difference is urgency. If sewage is actively overflowing, we'll take steps to stop further backup (isolating fixtures, clearing access points) before quoting for the full clearing and cleanup work.

High-pressure jetting is typically the fastest method for clearing emergency blockages in main sewer lines, since it can pulverise obstructions and scour the pipe in one pass. For severe blockages where the line is fully choked, mechanical augering may be used first to create an initial opening, followed by jetting to complete the clean. Once flow is restored, we flush the system and confirm drainage is working before leaving.

If the emergency occurs outside standard hours, confirm the after-hours call-out fee when you book. Pricing for the actual clearing work is still fixed and quoted upfront once scope is established onsite. You're not charged by the hour, even on emergency service calls. For urgent drainage issues in South Granville, call 1800 349 338 and we'll dispatch a correctly licensed plumbing technician immediately.

Your Go-to Gas Plumbers

Gas fitting work in NSW requires a specific gas licence, and all installations must meet AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. Fixed Today Plumbing holds current gas fitting accreditation under Licence 305428C, which covers new gas point installations, appliance connections, leak location and repair, and compliance testing for altered or repaired gas lines. If you smell gas (the distinctive "rotten egg" odour added to natural gas), isolate the supply at the meter, ventilate the area, and don't operate electrical switches or ignition sources until a licensed gas fitter has checked the system.

Gas leaks can occur at appliance connections, inside walls where pipes corrode, or underground where ground movement stresses joints. Our leak detection process uses electronic gas detectors and sometimes thermal imaging to pinpoint the leak location without invasive testing. Once located, the faulty section is isolated, repaired or replaced, and the entire system is pressure-tested to confirm it's gas-tight before being put back into service.

New gas fitting work in South Granville includes installing gas points for cooktops, ovens, and heaters, connecting new gas hot water supply systems, and running gas lines to outdoor barbecue areas or pool heaters. Each installation is pressure-tested and a compliance certificate is issued where required by regulation. The certificate is provided to you and retained for our records, and it's necessary for some insurance claims or property sales.

Gas appliance servicing includes checking burner operation, testing for carbon monoxide output, inspecting flue systems for blockages, and confirming gas pressure is within appliance specifications. Poorly maintained gas appliances can produce incomplete combustion, leading to carbon monoxide buildup (a colourless, odourless gas that's dangerous at high concentrations). Regular servicing reduces this risk and keeps the appliance running efficiently.

For all gas fitting enquiries in South Granville, including emergency gas leakage callouts, contact Fixed Today on 1800 349 338. We'll dispatch a licensed gas fitter and provide a fixed quote once the scope is confirmed onsite.

Hot Water System Maintenance Experts

No hot water at your South Granville property typically means the system has failed (heating element or gas burner fault), the tempering valve is stuck, or the unit has reached the end of its serviceable life. Residential hot water systems generally last 8-12 years for electric storage tanks and 10-15 years for continuous flow gas units, depending on water quality and maintenance history. Rust-coloured water, inconsistent temperatures, or visible leaks around the tank base are warning signs that replacement may be needed soon.

Fixed Today Plumbing installs, repairs, and maintains electric storage systems, gas continuous flow systems, and heat pump units across all major brands including Rheem, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax, and Thermann. When a system fails, we assess whether repair is viable (usually for units under 5 years old with a specific component failure) or whether replacement is more cost-effective (for older units with multiple faults or corroded tanks).

New installations require compliance with current building codes and AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards. This includes fitting a Tempering Valve (which limits tap temperature to 50°C to prevent scalding) and a Pressure Relief Valve (which vents excess pressure to prevent tank rupture). Gas systems also require proper flue installation and ventilation, and a gas compliance certificate is issued on completion. Electric systems must be wired by a licensed electrician, which we coordinate as part of the installation if needed.

Our 24/7 emergency hot water service means a plumber can be dispatched outside business hours if you've lost hot water and it's affecting your household. Emergency availability doesn't guarantee same-visit installation of a replacement unit (since new tanks need to be sourced and delivered), but we can assess the fault, provide temporary solutions where possible, and arrange supply and installation of a new system within the shortest practical timeframe.

Once a new system is installed, we test it under load, set the tempering valve to the correct temperature, and confirm all safety devices are functioning. Manufacturer warranties on hardware vary by brand and model (typically 5-10 years on tanks, 1-3 years on components), and our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the installation workmanship. Receipts and compliance certificates are provided for your records.

For hot water system repairs or replacements in South Granville, call Fixed Today on 1800 349 338. We'll assess the fault and provide a fixed quote for repair or replacement once the system is inspected.

Blocked Drain FAQ's in South Granville

What causes blocked drains in South Granville properties?

Blockages usually result from grease and fat buildup in kitchen lines, hair and soap residue in bathroom drains, tree roots penetrating older sewer pipes, or foreign objects like wipes that don't break down. CCTV check confirms the exact cause and location, so the right clearing method is used.

How quickly can you reach South Granville for a blocked drain?

We dispatch from West Sydney hubs, typically reaching Parramatta-area suburbs within standard response windows for urgent jobs. Arrival timing depends on current workload and traffic from the dispatch point. You'll receive an ETA when the job is allocated and can call for updates if needed.

Do you charge a call-out fee in South Granville?

Call-out fee status varies by suburb and job type. When you book, we'll confirm whether a call-out fee applies for your location. The diagnostic and clearing work is then quoted separately as a fixed price once scope is defined onsite, so you know the full cost before we begin.

Can you clear a drain blockage on the first visit?

Most residential blockages are cleared during the first visit, provided we can access the affected line and the obstruction is debris or roots (not structural damage). Our mobile workshops carry CCTV cameras, hydro-jetters, and mechanical clearing tools, so diagnosis and clearing happen in one attendance where practical.

What if the camera shows damaged pipes, not just a blockage?

If inspection reveals cracks, collapsed sections, or severe root penetration, we explain the repair options (drain relining or excavation and replacement) and provide a fixed quote for the additional work. You decide whether to proceed with the repair once you know the cost and what's involved.

Is high-pressure water jetting safe for old pipes?

Hydro-jetting is safe for PVC, clay, cast iron, and copper pipes when operated correctly at the right pressure. We adjust pressure based on pipe type and condition seen during camera inspection. If pipes are severely corroded or fragile, we use gentler mechanical clearing or recommend repair before jetting.

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

Stop using all fixtures immediately to prevent further overflow. If safe, isolate the affected area and ventilate it. Call us on 1800 349 338 for emergency dispatch. We'll send the nearest available plumber to locate the blockage, stop the backup, and clear the line as quickly as possible.

Do you provide documentation for insurance or strata records?

Yes. We provide itemised receipts showing the work completed, and where required (such as sewer line repairs affecting common property), we can supply photos, CCTV footage, and compliance documentation. These records are suitable for insurance claims, strata maintenance logs, or property sale disclosures.

Can tree roots be cleared permanently, or will they come back?

Hydro-jetting removes existing roots, but if the pipe has cracks, roots will eventually regrow and re-enter. Pipe relining seals the cracks, creating a smooth internal surface that roots can't penetrate. We assess whether relining is needed during the CCTV check and quote for it as an option alongside clearing.

What's included in your Lifetime Labour Warranty?

The Lifetime Labour Warranty covers our workmanship on the completed job (the clearing, repair, or installation work we performed). It doesn't cover new blockages from different causes or manufacturer defects in parts, but if the specific work we did fails due to a fault in how we performed it, we'll rectify it at no additional labour cost.
