Plumber in Southern Sydney

Fixed Today Plumbing handles the full spectrum of commercial and domestic plumbing work throughout Southern Sydney. Following our standard diagnostic process, each job is scoped, quoted upfront, and completed with verification before departing.

Blocked Drains and Pipe Clearing: Drainage blockages often result from root intrusion in older terracotta lines or FOG buildup in kitchen waste pipes. High-pressure hydro-jetting removes obstructions and scours pipe walls, restoring near-full flow capacity. For structural failures identified on CCTV, trenchless pipe lining creates a seamless internal sleeve without excavation, preserving driveways and landscaping.

Hot Water System Repairs and Replacements: When a storage tank produces rust-coloured water or fluctuating temperatures, it usually indicates sediment buildup or a failing sacrificial anode. Continuous flow gas units that struggle to maintain consistent temperature may have burner fouling or a faulty flow sensor. We assess the system type, age, and fault symptoms, then explain whether repair or replacement makes sense given the remaining service life. New installations include Tempering Valves (to limit tap temperature to 50°C) and Pressure Relief Valves, as required by AS/NZS 3500.

Gas Fitting and Leak Detection: Gas work is performed by licensed gas fitters, with all installations and repairs pressure-tested to AS/NZS 5601.1 standards. If you detect the distinctive rotten-egg odour, hear hissing near appliances, or notice dying vegetation over underground lines, turn off the gas at the meter and arrange an immediate assessment. Leak detection uses combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to identify faults behind walls or in sub-floors, ensuring the system is gas-tight before reconnection.

Burst Pipe Repairs and Leak Detection: A broken pipe is typically discovered through sudden pressure loss, water pooling, or ceiling stains. Turn off the water at the mains to limit damage while the plumber is on the way. Ultrasonic leak testing locates hidden bursts without invasive demolition, and repairs are completed with testing to confirm system integrity. For aging galvanised steel or corroded copper sections, we assess whether localised repair or partial repiping is the more durable solution.

Leaking Taps, Showers, and Toilet Repairs: A dripping tap wastes water and drives up bills unnecessarily. The cause is usually a worn washer, damaged O-ring, or eroded valve seat. Toilet repairs cover running cisterns, blocked traps, and leaking pan collars. Shower leaks can originate from faulty tap cartridges, compromised grout, or failed waterproofing membranes, each requiring a different repair approach.

Roof and Gutter Plumbing: Roof leaks often show up as ceiling stains during heavy rain. The source may be cracked flashings, rusted valley irons, or blocked box gutters that overflow and penetrate the ceiling cavity. Gutter repairs include clearing debris, resealing joints, and replacing corroded sections to ensure proper stormwater drainage away from the building.

Strata and Commercial Plumbing: Strata properties require coordination with building managers for access, clear documentation for maintenance logs, and an understanding of common property boundaries. Commercial work prioritises minimising downtime and managing compliance obligations. We follow site induction requirements, provide job documentation suitable for records, and can schedule work outside business hours to avoid operational disruption.

24/7 Emergency Response: Plumbing emergencies, ruptured pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups—are dispatched immediately. Urgent jobs are sent out first, with the technician arriving from the nearest hub. If the fault poses a safety risk, brief guidance is provided by phone to reduce harm while the plumber is on the way, but diagnosis and repair are completed onsite by a licensed professional.
