Plumber St Peters

We handle general plumbing work across St Peters properties, taps, toilets, showers, pipe repairs, fixture replacements, and routine maintenance, using licensed NSW plumbers (Licence 305428C) who arrive in uniform, confirm their identity on arrival, and explain what they're doing before starting. This covers standard residential and light commercial jobs where access and existing pipework are straightforward; if inspection reveals concealed damage, structural issues, or the need for authority approvals, we explain the options and provide a revised scope and quote before any additional work proceeds.

The typical process starts with an onsite assessment to confirm what's affected, what caused it, and what's needed to fix it properly. We use drain inspection cameras for drainage diagnostics, electronic leak detectors for hidden pipe leaks, and high-pressure water jetters for blockage clearing. Once the scope is clarified, you receive a fixed-fee quote before work starts, no hidden fees, no hourly rate surprises. After the installation or repair is complete, we test the system to verify function and clean up the work area before leaving.

Our service vehicle carries common replacement parts, hand tools, and diagnostic equipment, which allows us to complete many jobs on the first visit when parts are in stock and the fault is straightforward. In practice, delays happen when parts need ordering, when structural work requires council approval, or when strata coordination is needed, we'll tell you upfront if your job falls into one of those categories so you know what to expect.

All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, which covers the quality of installation and repair work we perform (manufacturer warranties on appliances and fixtures are separate and provided by the product supplier). Professional conduct is standard: we wear boot covers or clean footwear when requested, use drop sheets to protect floors in work areas, and remove debris generated by the work when the job is finished. Police and background checks are completed for our technicians, and we can accommodate safety-sensitive requests where advance notice is provided.

For St Peters residents and businesses needing reliable plumbing support, Fixed Today operates with clear communication, transparent pricing, and a focus on getting it done properly the first time.

Drainage blockages in St Peters often trace back to tree root intrusion in older terracotta or clay pipes, Fat-Oil-Grease (FOG) buildup in kitchen lines, or foreign objects lodged in toilet traps, and the initial step is locating the blockage with a high-definition CCTV drain camera to confirm what's causing the restriction and where it sits within your property boundary. This covers typical internal and external blockages in accessible pipes; if CCTV check reveals structural pipe damage, collapsed sections, or the need for excavation or relining, we explain those options and provide a separate quote before proceeding with anything beyond the initial clearing.

In practice, tree roots are the most common cause we see across the Inner West in properties with established gardens or street tree plantings. Roots seek moisture, enter through microscopic cracks in aging pipes, then expand and trap debris until flow is restricted. Kitchen blockages usually involve solidified grease that narrows the pipe diameter and catches food scraps, hair, and soap residue. Toilet blockages are often the result of excessive toilet paper, hygiene products, or foreign objects that don't break down in water.

We clear blockages using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting), which fires water at 3,000, 5,000 PSI through specialized nozzles to pulverise roots, scour grease from pipe walls, and flush debris back to the street connection. For metal or plastic foreign objects, we may use a mechanical drain snake (electric eel) to retrieve the obstruction without damaging the pipe. Once the line is cleared, we confirm flow with the camera and advise on any maintenance or follow-up if the underlying pipe condition suggests future problems.

Unresolved blocked drains create unsanitary conditions, risk sewage backup into the home, and, if left long enough, can cause foundation damage from ongoing moisture or pipe collapse from pressure buildup. If you're experiencing slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or foul odours from drains, a quick assessment can confirm the cause and prevent escalation.

Roof and gutter leaks at St Peters properties are often caused by blocked downpipes, rusted or damaged flashing, cracked roof tiles, or gutter joints that have separated over time, and identifying the water entry point is the first step before attempting any repair. This covers typical residential roof plumbing, including valley gutters, downpipe connections, and roof penetrations; if the leak involves structural roofing work, tiling, or carpentry beyond plumbing scope, we coordinate with the relevant trades and explain the full repair process before quoting.

In established Inner West suburbs, leaf litter and debris from street trees often accumulate in gutters and downpipes, blocking water flow and causing overflow during heavy rain. When gutters overflow, water can track back under roof tiles, seep into wall cavities, or pool around the foundation, creating damp patches on ceilings, mould growth, or structural damage if left unresolved.

We clear gutter blockages using high-pressure water or manual removal depending on access, inspect the gutter line and downpipes with cameras where needed, and test water flow to confirm the system drains properly after clearing. If flashing is rusted or roof penetrations (like vent pipes or skylights) are leaking, we reseal or replace the affected sections and verify the repair under water testing where practical.

Storm season in Sydney typically brings sudden heavy rain, and that's when unresolved gutter faults turn into ceiling leaks or flooding inside the home. A quick inspection before wet weather can identify risks and prevent urgent callouts later.

For St Peters residents dealing with a running cistern, weak flush, blocked bowl, or leaking toilet base, we diagnose the fault onsite and explain the repair or replacement options with fixed transparent pricing. This covers typical internal cistern components (flush valves, fill valves, flappers), toilet pan replacements, and standard blockages; if the problem involves sewer line damage beyond the toilet connection or structural floor issues affecting the pan seal, we confirm the full scope and quote any additional work separately before proceeding.

A toilet that keeps running after flushing usually has a worn flapper or flush valve seal inside the cistern, allowing water to continuously leak from the cistern into the bowl. That constant trickle wastes hundreds of litres daily and often goes unnoticed until the water bill arrives. Weak flush pressure can indicate a partially blocked rim jet, sediment buildup in the cistern inlet, or incorrect water level adjustment, all fixable with component replacement or cleaning.

Blocked toilets are often the result of excessive toilet paper, foreign objects (toys, hygiene products, wipes marketed as "flushable"), or a partial blockage further down the sewer line that restricts flow. We use hand augers or closet augers to clear the trap and test flush function after clearing. If the blockage is deeper in the line, we'll escalate to CCTV inspection and hydro-jetting as outlined in our blocked toilet service process.

Our service vehicles carry common replacement parts, flappers, fill valves, flush buttons, inlet valves, pan collars, which means many toilet repairs are completed on the first visit without return trips for parts. All work is backed by our workmanship warranty, and we test flush performance and check for leaks before leaving.

A burst or leaking pipe at a St Peters property is a plumbing emergency requiring urgent attention to stop water damage, prevent structural deterioration, and protect belongings. If a pipe has burst or is actively leaking, isolate the water supply at the main shutoff valve (usually near the water meter) to stop the flow, then arrange urgent assessment so the leak can be located, the damaged section replaced, and water supply restored safely.

Burst pipes typically occur when aging galvanised steel or copper pipes corrode through, when ground movement or building settlement stresses pipe joints, or when freezing conditions (rare in Sydney but possible during extreme cold snaps) cause water inside the pipe to expand and split the pipe wall. Hidden leaks often result from pinhole corrosion, failed solder joints, or tree roots compressing underground pipes until they crack.

We locate the leak source using electronic ultrasonic leak detectors (which pick up the sound of water escaping under pressure) and CCTV cameras for underground or concealed pipe sections. Once located, we access the damaged pipe, cut out the failed section, and install a replacement pipe or fitting using the appropriate material for your system (copper, PEX, or PVC depending on application and code requirements). After the repair is complete, we pressure-test the line and verify there are no additional leaks before restoring water supply.

The longer a leak runs undetected, the more damage it causes - saturated subfloors, ceiling collapse, mould growth, and foundation erosion are all possible outcomes if water continues to escape. If you notice unexplained damp patches, water pooling, a sudden drop in water pressure, or a jump in your water bill, book an inspection quickly to confirm the cause and prevent escalation.

Our general plumbing services in St Peters cover routine maintenance, fixture replacements, minor repairs, and installations that keep your home or business running without major disruption, tapware upgrades, laundry sink replacements, cistern adjustments, TMV and backflow prevention device testing, and any other standard plumbing work that doesn't fall into emergency or specialist categories. This includes straightforward residential jobs where access and scope are clear; if your project involves concealed pipework, structural alterations, or coordination with other trades (tilers, builders, electricians), we confirm those details upfront and adjust the quote to reflect the additional complexity.

General plumbing encompasses:

• Bathroom and shower leak repairs
• Tap replacements and fixture upgrades
• Toilet repairs (running cisterns, faulty flush buttons, leaking pans)
• All gas fitting and appliance installations
• Roof and gutter inspections and minor repairs
• TMV (Thermostatic Mixing Valve) and backflow prevention device servicing

We also offer plumbing safety inspections, which involve a walk-through of your property to identify potential issues before they become urgent, corroded pipes, ageing hot water systems, drainage slow-spots, gas appliance condition, and any other faults that could escalate into safety hazards or expensive failures if ignored. Early detection saves money and avoids the stress of emergency callouts later.

Our service vehicles are fully equipped with hand tools, replacement parts, and diagnostic equipment, allowing us to handle many general plumbing tasks on the first visit without needing return trips. If parts need ordering or if additional trades are required, we'll explain the lead time and coordinate the process so you're not left waiting without updates.

For any general plumbing needs in St Peters, from small repairs to bathroom renovations, contact Fixed Today and we'll confirm scope, provide fixed upfront pricing, and get the work completed properly.

Fixed Today Plumbing handles commercial plumbing projects and maintenance for St Peters businesses, including office buildings, retail premises, cafes, restaurants, and light industrial facilities, covering everything from drainage repairs and hot water service service servicing to gas fitting, backflow prevention compliance, and large-scale pipe replacements. This includes standard commercial work where access, scheduling, and operational constraints are manageable; if your project involves complex coordination with multiple trades, requires staged shutdowns to avoid business disruption, or falls under specialised industrial scope, we confirm those details and adjust our approach to suit your operational needs.

Commercial plumbing differs from residential work in scale, compliance requirements, and the cost of downtime. A blocked drain in a restaurant kitchen can halt service. A failed water heater in a gym or salon affects daily operations. A gas leak in a commercial kitchen creates immediate safety and legal risks. We understand that time is money, which is why our commercial service focuses on minimising disruption, working around your trading hours where possible, and restoring functionality quickly.

Our commercial services include:

1. Clearing blocked pipes, drains, and grease traps
2. Hot water system repairs, replacements, and maintenance for commercial-grade units
3. Burst pipe repairs and water leak detection using electronic and thermal imaging equipment
4. Gas fitting, appliance installations, and gas compliance certification
5. Backflow prevention device testing and certification as required by Sydney Water

We can work within site induction requirements, follow sign-in protocols, and provide documentation suitable for workplace health and safety records, maintenance logs, and compliance audits. Our technicians arrive prepared with the right equipment, coordinate with your site contact, and keep the job tidy throughout to avoid disrupting your staff or customers.

For St Peters businesses needing reliable commercial plumbing support, from routine maintenance to urgent repairs, Fixed Today operates with professionalism, clear communication, and a focus on keeping your operations running.
