Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in South Wentworthville?

Fixed Today Plumbing handles residential and commercial plumbing work across South Wentworthville from our West Sydney dispatch hub, reaching most of the Cumberland Council area within typical response windows. This suburb contains a mix of older-style homes and more recent developments, each with different plumbing setups and access considerations that affect how we scope and quote a job. We're licensed in NSW (Licence 305428C), fully insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation, and backed by over 15 years operating across Western Sydney with a multi-van fleet.

Finlaysons Creek runs through the area, which means stormwater drainage loads can spike after heavy rain, particularly where older clay pipes meet modern PVC connections. In practice, we see a fair share of blockages traced to root intrusion in properties near mature street trees and debris buildup in external gully traps after storm events. If you're dealing with slow-draining sinks, gurgling toilets, or water pooling in the yard after rain, it's worth having the line camera-inspected before the restriction causes a backup inside the home.

South Wentworthville has local heritage sites including the Bethel Independent Church and proximity to the Finlaysons Creek Reserve for family outdoor activities. The area is well-connected via the M4 corridor, and the nearby Merrylands shopping district provides retail and dining options for residents. We schedule jobs around access constraints where needed (narrow driveways, limited street parking, strata entry windows) and provide ETA updates when booking so there's no guesswork about arrival timing.

Whether it's an urgent gas leak that needs immediate isolation, a hot water system that's failed overnight, or a blocked drain affecting your kitchen or bathroom, our team arrives with the diagnostic tools to confirm the cause and the parts inventory to fix common issues on the first visit. You'll receive a fixed-price quote before work starts, so the cost is clear and the decision is yours once scope is verified.

Professional Plumbing Services in South Wentworthville

We handle routine maintenance, urgent repairs, and full installations for homes and businesses in South Wentworthville, covering drainage, hot water, gas fitting, and general plumbing faults. Each job begins with an onsite inspection to confirm what's required, followed by a flat-rate quote that breaks down the scope so you can decide before any work proceeds. If inspection reveals structural damage or a larger underlying issue, we explain the options and provide a separate quote for that additional work rather than surprising you with an expanded bill at the end.

As a family-owned business with near-perfect 5-star ratings based on over 800 verified customer reviews, we've built our reputation on showing up when promised, explaining what we find in plain English, and standing behind the work with our Lifetime Labour Warranty. Our plumbers are licensed in NSW, background-checked, and trained to respect your property (boot covers, drop sheets, and thorough cleanup are standard). We also carry comprehensive insurance, which means Public Liability protection if accidental property damage occurs and Workers Compensation coverage related to workplace injuries.

Urgent jobs are sent out first via immediate dispatch from our West Sydney hub. Same-day service is available for standard enquiries when the schedule allows, and we provide arrival time updates at booking where possible so you're not left waiting all day. Whether it's a leaking tap wasting water overnight, a toilet that won't stop running, or a hot water unit showing rust-coloured water in the morning, call us and we'll confirm the fault, quote the fix, and restore function the same visit when parts and access allow.

Fixed Pricing Before Work Starts

You'll receive an upfront fixed-price quote after we confirm the scope onsite. The price quoted is the price paid, with no surprise charges or unexpected add-ons at the end of the job.

Near-Perfect 5-Star Rating

We've earned over 800 verified customer reviews with a near-perfect 5-star rating, reflecting our commitment to respectful service, clear communication, and durable repairs.

24/7 Emergency Response

Urgent jobs receive immediate dispatch from our West Sydney hub. We're available around the clock for gas leaks, ruptured pipes, and other plumbing emergencies that can't wait until morning.

Licensed, Insured, Background-Checked

All attending plumbers hold current NSW licences. We're properly insured (Public Liability and Workers Compensation), and technicians are police-checked before joining the team.

Hot Water Systems

When a hot water service fails in South Wentworthville, we diagnose the fault (failed element, thermostat issue, sediment buildup, or tank corrosion), explain what's needed, and provide a fixed quote for repair or replacement. This covers assessment, parts, installation to Australian plumbing standards (AS/NZS 3500), and post-install testing; if the system is beyond economical repair or the tank has rusted through, we'll explain replacement options and confirm scope before proceeding with a new unit.

Common signs we're called out for include fluctuating water temperature (often a failing thermostat or element in electric storage systems), rust-coloured water in the morning before the tank settles (corroded anode rod or internal tank rust), or no hot water supply at all (tripped breaker, failed pilot light, or gas valve fault). On arrival, we isolate the system, test for electrical faults or gas leaks where relevant, and confirm whether the issue is repairable or requires replacement. For new installations, we handle Tempering Valve fitting (required to limit outlet temperature to 50°C and prevent scalding) and Pressure Relief Valve installation to meet safety standards.

We work with major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai across electric storage, gas continuous flow, and heat pump systems. If you're upgrading, we'll discuss the differences: electric storage has lower upfront cost but higher running costs, gas continuous flow is more energy-efficient and space-saving, and heat pumps offer the lowest running cost where roof or outdoor space allows. Once the new system is installed, we test flow and temperature at multiple outlets, confirm the relief valve is functioning, and walk you through the warranty coverage (our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the tank and components).

Blocked Drains

Blocked drains across South Wentworthville typically involve tree root intrusion in older clay or terracotta pipes, Fat-Oil-Grease (FOG) buildup in kitchen lines, or debris accumulation in external gully traps and stormwater drains after heavy rain near Finlaysons Creek. We start with a high-definition CCTV drain CCTV check to locate the blockage type and depth, which shows us whether it's a simple obstruction or a structural pipe issue requiring relining or excavation.

For straightforward blockages, we use high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting at 3,000, 5,000 PSI) to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring near-full flow capacity without digging. The camera footage is reviewed onsite so you can see exactly what caused the restriction and whether the pipe structure is intact. If the camera reveals cracks, collapsed sections, or significant root penetration, we explain the relining or replacement options and provide a separate fixed quote for that structural work rather than proceeding without your confirmation.

In practice, older properties near mature street trees often show fine root tendrils entering microscopic cracks in aging pipes, which expand over time and trap debris. Kitchen blockages usually trace to FOG solidifying as it cools, narrowing the pipe diameter until solid waste can't pass. After clearing the line, we test flow with water and confirm drainage is restored, then explain what maintenance (if any) can reduce the chance of recurrence. The work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if the same cleared section blocks again due to workmanship, we'll return and fix it at no additional labour cost.

Burst & Leaking Pipes

A ruptured pipe is a property emergency. Water damage escalates quickly, so the immediate priority is isolation (turning off the mains or affected line) and making the area safe. Once we arrive, we use electronic ultrasonic leak detection to pinpoint hidden bursts behind walls or under slabs without invasive demolition, confirm the extent of the damage, and provide a fixed quote to repair or replace the affected section.

Burst pipes in residential properties commonly result from aging galvanised steel or copper corroding through, ground movement stressing rigid joints, or tree roots compressing underground lines. Leaking pipes often show as damp patches on walls, ceiling stains, unexplained drops in water pressure, or a running water meter when no taps are open. If the leak is accessible, we repair or replace the damaged pipe section using durable materials suited to the existing system (copper-to-copper soldering, PVC compression fittings, or PEX push-fit connections depending on pipe type and location).

For pipes beneath permanent structures like driveways, bathrooms, or landscaping, trenchless pipe relining is an option where the existing pipe structure hasn't completely collapsed. This involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, inflating it, and curing it to create a seamless pipe-within-a-pipe that's structurally independent. Once the repair or reline is complete, we pressure-test the line to confirm it's watertight, restore water supply, and verify flow at affected outlets before leaving. All pipe repairs are covered by our workmanship warranty.

24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours. We provide 24/7 emergency response across South Wentworthville for situations that can't be safely delayed: ruptured pipes flooding the property, gas leaks requiring immediate isolation, sewage backups posing a health risk, or hot water service failures during winter when vulnerable occupants need heating. When you call, we assess urgency, allocate the nearest available licensed, insured plumber from our dispatch points, and provide an ETA based on current traffic and bookings.

"Immediate dispatch" means urgent jobs are sent out first and the plumber is on the way as soon as the call ends; it doesn't guarantee a specific arrival time, which depends on the plumber's current location and road conditions. For gas leaks, we advise turning off the gas meter (if safe to do so), ventilating the area, avoiding ignition sources, and evacuating if the smell is strong. For ruptured pipes, isolating the water supply at the mains limits damage while the plumber is en route. We don't coach step-by-step troubleshooting; if there's a safety risk or active property damage, book a licensed, insured plumber and we'll confirm the fault onsite.

Our emergency plumbers arrive with diagnostic equipment (CCTV cameras, leak detectors, gas sniffers, pressure gauges), a comprehensive parts inventory, and the authority to make safe-making decisions onsite. Once the immediate risk is controlled (water isolated, gas shut off, sewage contained), we assess the full scope, explain what's needed for a permanent fix, and provide a fixed-price quote before proceeding with the repair. Emergency callouts are priced by the job, not by the hour, and you'll be told the fixed price before the plumber starts the repair work so there's no bill shock at the end.

Leaking Taps

A dripping tap wastes water (often 10, 20 litres per day from a slow drip, escalating your water bill over time) and usually indicates a worn washer, damaged O-ring, or corroded valve seat. We diagnose the fault by isolating the tap, disassembling the head or cartridge, and inspecting the internal components for wear or calcium buildup. Most tap leaks are fixed by replacing the washer or cartridge and reassembling the tap with thread sealant to prevent future leaks.

Mixer taps (common in modern kitchens and bathrooms) use ceramic disc cartridges rather than traditional washers. When these cartridges wear out or crack, the tap leaks or becomes difficult to turn. We stock replacement cartridges for major brands and can usually complete the repair on the same visit. For older tap bodies where the valve seat is corroded or the internal thread is stripped, replacement is often more cost-effective than attempting to re-grind or re-tap worn components.

After the repair, we test the tap under full pressure to confirm the leak is stopped and the flow rate is normal, then check surrounding fixtures for any secondary issues (like leaking flexible hoses or loose mounting hardware). Fixing a leaking tap promptly prevents water wastage, reduces your utility costs, and avoids the secondary damage that prolonged leaks can cause (cabinet moisture, mould growth, or corrosion). The repair is covered by our workmanship warranty.

Roof and Gutter Leaks

Roof and gutter leaks are often first noticed as ceiling stains, damp patches on internal walls, or water pooling in the roof cavity after rain. We use CCTV cameras and moisture metres to locate the entry point (often a cracked tile, lifted flashing, or blocked gutter causing water to back up under the roof edge), then confirm whether the leak is due to a plumbing fixture (vent pipe collar, overflow, or hot water relief valve discharge) or a roofing/structural issue.

Where the leak involves plumbing components (a cracked vent boot allowing water to run down the vent pipe, a leaking overflow from a header tank, or a corroded relief valve discharge dripping onto the roof), we repair or replace the faulty fitting and test the seal under water flow. If the leak is traced to damaged roofing (cracked tiles, deteriorated flashing, or blocked gutters causing overflow), we'll advise you to engage a licensed roofer for that structural work, as it falls outside plumbing scope.

For properties where gutters overflow during heavy rain and water enters through eaves or soffits, we assess whether the gutter capacity is adequate for the roof area and downpipe sizing. Undersized downpipes or blocked leaf guards can cause water to back up and find entry points into the roof cavity. Once the plumbing component is repaired or the drainage capacity is corrected, we verify flow under simulated rain conditions (using a hose to replicate heavy downpour) and confirm the leak is resolved before leaving.

Shower Repairs

Leaking showers in South Wentworthville typically involve a worn cartridge in the mixer valve (causing drips from the rose when taps are off), failed grout or silicone allowing water to penetrate behind tiles, or a cracked shower base leaking into the subfloor. We diagnose by isolating the water supply, inspecting visible components (mixer, rose, hoses, waste trap), and checking for moisture behind tiles using a moisture metre where penetration is suspected.

For dripping shower roses or mixer taps, the usual fix is cartridge replacement or reseating the valve. We isolate the water, remove the mixer trim, extract the cartridge, and install a genuine replacement (we stock cartridges for common brands including Caroma, Methven, and Dorf). Once reassembled, we test under full pressure to confirm the drip is stopped and temperature control is smooth across the full range.

Where moisture is detected behind tiles or in the ceiling below (indicating a waterproofing failure rather than a tap fault), we'll explain that the repair involves removing affected tiles, resealing the substrate with compliant waterproof membrane, and re-tiling to Australian Standards (AS 3740). That work is quoted separately as it's more involved than a simple tap repair. For shower waste blockages (slow-draining showers due to hair and soap buildup), we remove the grate, clear the trap, and confirm flow is restored. All shower repairs are tested under normal use conditions before we consider the job complete.

Toilet Repairs

A toilet that won't stop running, won't flush properly, or leaks at the base disrupts daily life and can waste significant water (a running toilet can waste hundreds of litres per day if the inlet valve doesn't shut off). We diagnose by testing the flush mechanism, checking the inlet valve and float for correct operation, inspecting the flush valve seal for wear, and confirming the pan is sealed correctly to the waste outlet.

Common toilet repairs include replacing the inlet valve (which controls water flow into the cistern), replacing the flush valve seal (which stops water leaking from the cistern into the bowl when not flushing), or resealing the pan to the floor where the wax ring has failed and sewage odours or water are escaping. For toilets that won't flush effectively (weak flush, double-flushing required), we check the cistern water level, confirm the flush valve is opening fully, and inspect the waste outlet for partial blockages.

If the toilet is old and parts are no longer available, or the ceramic pan is cracked, replacement is often more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We'll explain the options (like-for-like replacement vs. Upgrading to a dual-flush WELS-rated model that uses less water) and provide a fixed quote including removal of the old unit, supply and installation of the new toilet, reconnection to existing water and waste lines, and testing for leaks and proper flush function. All toilet repairs are covered by our workmanship warranty, and we clean the work area thoroughly before leaving.

Gas Fitting

Gas work in NSW must be performed by a licensed and fully insured gas fitter (we hold Licence 305428C covering gas fitting), and all installations require pressure testing and, where applicable, a compliance certificate to verify the work meets AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards. We handle gas appliance installation (cooktops, ovens, heaters, hot water systems), gas leakage detection and repair, and new gas line extensions for renovations or additional appliances.

Gas leaks are identified by the distinctive "rotten egg" odour (mercaptan additive), hissing sounds near appliances or pipework, dead vegetation over underground gas lines, or unusual soot buildup on burners. If you suspect a gas leakage, turn off the gas meter if it's safe to do so, ventilate the area, avoid ignition sources (don't operate light switches or electrical devices), and call us immediately. We'll arrive with combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to locate the leak (which may be behind walls, under floors, or in buried lines), isolate the affected section, and repair or replace the faulty fitting or pipe.

For new gas installations (connecting a gas cooktop during a kitchen renovation, or adding a gas bayonet for a portable heater), we run the new line from the existing meter or manifold, secure it to code, pressure-test the entire system to confirm it's gas-tight (holding pressure for the required test duration with no drop indicating leaks), and commission the appliance once the installation passes inspection. All gas work is documented, and compliance certificates are issued where required by local regulations. The installation is backed by our workmanship warranty, and we explain ongoing maintenance requirements (annual appliance servicing) before leaving.

Commercial Plumbing

Fixed Today provides commercial plumbing services across South Wentworthville for retail shops, office buildings, restaurants, and strata complexes, covering routine maintenance, urgent repairs, and compliance upgrades. Commercial work often involves coordinating access outside business hours, following site induction procedures, and providing documentation for maintenance logs and compliance records.

Typical commercial jobs include clearing blocked drains in food service venues (grease traps, floor wastes, interceptor pits), repairing leaking amenities (toilets, basins, urinals), maintaining hot water systems servicing multiple tenants, and replacing failed tapware in high-use environments. We also handle backflow prevention testing and certification where required by Sydney Water for commercial premises connected to mains supply, ensuring compliant devices are installed and tested annually.

For strata complexes, we work with building managers to address common-property plumbing (main water lines, sewer connections, stormwater drainage) while respecting lot boundaries and coordinating with owners or tenants for access to individual units. We provide itemised quotes, progress updates, and job completion documentation suitable for strata records and insurance claims. Where urgent issues affect multiple tenants (burst main, sewer blockage, gas leakage), we respond immediately to isolate the risk, make the building safe, and implement a permanent fix once scope is clarified.

As a licensed, insured, family-owned operation with over 15 years in the Sydney market, we understand that commercial downtime is costly. We arrive with the diagnostic tools and parts inventory to resolve common issues on the first visit, provide fixed pricing before we begin, and back all repairs with our Lifetime Labour Warranty. Whether it's scheduled maintenance or an after-hours emergency, Fixed Today is your reliable local partner for commercial plumbing in South Wentworthville and across the Cumberland Council area.

Plumbing FAQ's in South Wentworthville

Hiring a plumber shouldn't feel complicated. Below are practical answers to the questions South Wentworthville residents ask most often. If your specific concern isn't covered, call us and we'll explain what's involved before you commit to booking.

What does "fixed-price quote" actually mean for plumbing work?

A fixed price quote means the price we provide after assessing the job is the price you pay, regardless of how long the work takes. We confirm the scope onsite (what's included and what's not), give you the total cost before starting, and that figure doesn't change unless you approve additional work that wasn't part of the original scope. No hourly rate surprises.

How quickly can a plumber reach South Wentworthville for an emergency?

We dispatch from West Sydney, reaching most of South Wentworthville within typical response windows that depend on current traffic and bookings. Urgent jobs (ruptured pipes, gas leaks, sewage backups) are sent out immediately, and we provide an ETA when you book so you know roughly when to expect arrival. Same-day service is standard for emergencies.

What causes blocked drains to happen repeatedly in the same property?

Recurring blockages usually mean there's an underlying issue: tree roots entering cracked pipes and regrowing after clearing, structural damage allowing debris to settle in a low spot, or ongoing FOG buildup in kitchen lines. A CCTV check shows what's causing it, and we'll explain whether it needs drain relining, root barrier installation, or behaviour changes to prevent recurrence.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners before calling a plumber?

Chemical drain cleaners can corrode pipes (especially older metal or PVC), create toxic fumes when mixed with other chemicals, and make the blockage harder to clear if the chemical solidifies. If the drain is blocked, call a plumber. We'll camera-inspect to locate the restriction and clear it with high-pressure water jetting without damaging the pipe.

What should I do immediately if I smell gas inside the house?

Turn off the gas meter if you can reach it safely, open windows and doors to ventilate, don't operate any electrical switches or ignition sources, and evacuate if the smell is strong. Call us from outside the property. We'll arrive with gas detection equipment, locate the leak, isolate it, and make the area safe before repairing the faulty line or fitting.

How do I know if a hot water service needs replacement or repair?

We assess based on the fault type and unit age. Minor issues (failed thermostat, worn element, leaking relief valve) are usually repairable. If the tank is rusting through, the system is over 15 years old with multiple faults, or repair costs approach replacement cost, we'll explain both options and provide separate quotes so you can decide.

What's included in your Lifetime Labour Warranty?

Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the workmanship on repairs and installations we complete. If the same issue recurs due to how we performed the work (not due to further damage or normal wear on replaced parts), we'll return and fix it at no additional labour cost. Manufacturer warranties cover the parts themselves for their specified term.

Can you fix plumbing issues in strata properties or do I need strata approval first?

For plumbing within your lot (fixtures, internal pipes, hot water systems), you can book directly. For common property (main sewer lines, shared drainage, external water supply), strata approval is usually required before we start. We can assess what's common vs. Lot-specific and advise on the approval process if needed, or work directly with your strata manager.

Do you charge a call-out fee to come and provide a quote in South Wentworthville?

Call-out fee status varies by job type and location. For many service areas including South Wentworthville, there's no call-out fee, but it's worth confirming when you book. Either way, if you proceed with the quoted work, any call-out fee is typically absorbed into the job cost, so you're only paying for the actual installation or repair.

What's the difference between Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance for plumbing?

Public Liability protects you if we accidentally damage your property during the job (for example, a tool slips and cracks a tile). Workers Compensation covers workplace injuries to our team while working on your property. Both policies are current and comprehensive, meaning you're protected if something unexpected happens, and we're compliant with NSW requirements.
