Plumber South Turramurra

We've been servicing the North Shore region for more than 15 years, building a near-perfect 5-star rating based on over 800 verified customer reviews. Fixed Today Plumbing is family owned and operated, which means decision-making stays local and accountability is direct. That longevity matters in plumbing, it signals familiarity with the pipework layouts common to different eras, the soil conditions that affect drainage in specific streets, and the access constraints that come with older subdivisions and newer gated estates.

Our technicians are police-checked and background-checked before attending homes, and they arrive in uniform with clear identification. We use drop sheets and protective floor coverings to protect finished surfaces during work, and the work area is cleaned up before leaving. On first visits, we explain what we're doing before starting and confirm access permissions at the door: particularly important in security-sensitive properties or homes with premium finishes around South Turramurra.

We service the broader North Shore, including Cremorne Point, Wollstonecraft, Chatswood West, St Leonards, and Warrawee. Every job follows the same process: diagnose onsite using the appropriate diagnostic tools, confirm scope in plain English, provide a fixed-price quote before work starts, complete the installation or repair to Australian plumbing standards, and verify the outcome before leaving. That's backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

When drainage backs up at a South Turramurra property, we locate the restriction using a high-definition CCTV drain camera and clear it with the method that restores flow without unnecessary excavation. Most residential blockages respond to high-pressure water jetting, fired at 3,000 to 5,000 PSI through specialised nozzles that pulverise debris and scour the pipe walls. If inspection shows structural damage such as collapsed sections or severe root intrusion, trenchless drain relining may be recommended, and the options are explained before additional work proceeds.

Tree roots are the most common culprit in older South Turramurra streets where established trees sit near sewer lines. Fine roots enter through microscopic cracks in aging terracotta or clay pipes, then expand as they absorb moisture, trapping toilet paper and solid waste. Kitchen lines often present with Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) buildup, solidified grease that narrows the pipe diameter and catches food scraps. We've noticed that properties built during the 1960s and 1970s expansion are particularly prone to root-related blockages, as the original clay pipes were installed before modern PVC became standard.

The CCTV inspection is recorded, so you can see exactly what's causing the restriction and where it's located within your property boundary. Once the scope is confirmed, the fixed-price quote covers clearing the blockage, verifying flow restoration, and explaining any maintenance steps to reduce recurrence. If structural issues are detected, we'll walk through the repair options, including trenchless relining to avoid digging up driveways or established gardens, and the quote is adjusted once you've decided on the approach.

Roof and gutter work at South Turramurra properties covers leak testing, downpipe unblocking, gutter realignment, and replacement of damaged sections. Leaks typically appear during heavy rain when blocked gutters overflow and water finds entry points through fascia boards or roof flashing. We assess the affected areas onsite, identify the cause, whether it's debris buildup, rusted sections, or improper fall, and provide a fixed-price quote to restore drainage flow and stop the leak.

Sydney's storm season places high demand on roof drainage systems, and when gutters can't channel water away efficiently, it backs up into eaves or runs down external walls. In practice, we commonly see blockages caused by leaf litter from surrounding trees and nesting material from birds. Properties near bushland or large established trees require more frequent gutter maintenance to prevent overflow during intense rainfall.

The inspection confirms the extent of damage and whether repair or replacement is needed. For straightforward blockages and minor leaks, clearing and sealing is usually sufficient. If sections are severely corroded or improperly installed, we explain the replacement options and how proper fall and secure mounting will prevent recurrence. All work is completed to Australian Standards, and the system is tested where practical to confirm drainage flow before leaving.

Toilet repairs in South Turramurra cover blocked bowls, running cisterns, faulty flush mechanisms, leaking inlet valves, and damaged pan seals. A blocked toilet is usually cleared on the first visit using mechanical tools or a high-pressure water jetter if the obstruction is further down the line. If the blockage is recurring or the pan is cracked, we explain the cause and recommend either descaling, component replacement, or a full toilet replacement depending on what inspection reveals.

Running cisterns waste significant water, often hundreds of litres per day, when the inlet valve fails to shut off or the flush valve seal deteriorates and allows water to continuously trickle into the bowl. The sound is usually the first indicator, followed by a noticeable spike in water bills. We've seen cases where a faulty cistern added hundreds of dollars to quarterly water costs before being fixed.

Our vans are fully stocked with common cistern parts, flush buttons, inlet valves, and pan connectors, so most repairs don't require a return visit for parts. Once the fault is confirmed, the fixed quote is provided and the repair is completed to restore proper flushing and stop water wastage. The system is tested under normal use before leaving, and if a replacement toilet is needed, we explain the installation process and timeline.

Burst or leaking pipes require immediate attention to stop water damage and restore supply safely. We dispatch urgently for active leaks, using electronic ultrasonic leak detection to pinpoint the source behind walls, under floors, or in concealed spaces without invasive demolition. Once the leak location is confirmed, the damaged section is isolated, the repair method is explained, whether it's a compression coupling, pipe replacement, or trenchless relining, and the fixed quote is provided before proceeding.

An active leak is stressful, particularly when water is pooling inside the home or affecting electrical systems. The immediate priority is isolating the water supply to stop further damage, then assessing the extent of the leak and the best repair approach. In practice, burst pipes often occur at joints or where corrosion has thinned the pipe wall, and cold snaps can cause expansion cracks in copper or PVC lines.

Our leak detection equipment allows us to locate hidden leaks without tearing up walls or floors unnecessarily, which reduces repair costs and limits disruption. Once the leak is located and scope is confirmed, the repair is completed to Australian plumbing standards, pressure tested to confirm it's watertight, and the supply is restored. If the leak has caused water damage to surrounding structures, we can coordinate with restoration specialists, though that sits outside the plumbing scope and is arranged separately.

General plumbing services across South Turramurra cover residential and commercial properties, addressing routine maintenance, fixture repairs, and planned upgrades alongside emergency callouts. Every job follows the same process: onsite diagnosis using appropriate testing tools, scope confirmation in plain English, a fixed-price quote before work starts, completion to Australian Standards, and verification of the outcome before leaving. That's supported by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, which means if workmanship fails, we return and fix it at no additional charge.

Our warranty covers the labour and installation work we perform, things like joint integrity, fixture mounting, and system commissioning. It doesn't extend to component failures caused by wear, water quality, or external factors, but those are typically covered by manufacturer warranties on the parts themselves. If something goes wrong after we've left, contact us and we'll assess whether it's a workmanship issue covered by our warranty or a separate fault requiring a new quote.

General plumbing services include:

• Leaking tap and fixture repairs across bathrooms and kitchens
• Toilet installations, repairs, and unblocking
• Hot water system servicing and replacements
• Shower and bath leak repairs
• Gas fitting for appliances and system upgrades
• Roof plumbing inspections and gutter repairs
• Backflow prevention and TMV installations
• Bathroom renovation plumbing and fixture upgrades

If you're planning a renovation or have a specific concern, our team can provide advice on approach, timeline, and scope. We also recommend periodic plumbing safety inspections to identify potential issues, such as corroding pipes, failing hot water anodes, or drainage flow restrictions, before they escalate into urgent repairs or property damage.

Commercial plumbing services in South Turramurra support businesses, strata complexes, retail premises, and office buildings with scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, and system upgrades. Downtime affects operations and revenue, so our approach prioritises fast assessment, clear scope confirmation, and efficient completion to minimise disruption. We can work within restricted entry time windows, follow site induction procedures, and provide documentation suitable for business records and compliance logs.

Commercial environments place higher demands on plumbing and drainage systems than typical residential use. High-traffic bathrooms, commercial kitchens, and shared facilities require durable fixtures and proactive maintenance to avoid failures during peak periods. In practice, we see blockages in commercial kitchen grease traps, wear on high-use tap fixtures, and hot water service demand issues when systems are undersized for actual usage patterns.

Our commercial services include:

• Blocked drain clearing in high-use areas
• Commercial hot water unit repairs and capacity upgrades
• Gas appliance installations for cafes, restaurants, and catering facilities
• Burst pipe repairs and water leak detection
• Backflow prevention testing and certification
• Scheduled maintenance contracts to reduce emergency callouts

If your business requires ongoing plumbing support, we can arrange scheduled maintenance visits to inspect systems, clear drains proactively, and identify wear before it causes downtime. That reduces the likelihood of urgent callouts during trading hours and gives you predictable maintenance costs. Contact us to discuss commercial plumbing requirements and arrange an initial site assessment.
