Plumber Strathfield

We handle routine maintenance, urgent repairs, and full system installations across Strathfield properties, backing all workmanship with our Lifetime Labour Warranty. That warranty covers the labour component of the repair or installation for the life of the system, meaning we'll return and correct the work if a fault develops due to our installation. Manufacturer warranties on parts and appliances are separate and run for the duration specified by the supplier.

Each job follows a standard process. We diagnose the issue using visual inspection and testing tools where needed, then explain what's causing the fault and what's required to fix it. Once the scope is established, we provide a fixed price before starting work. After the repair or installation, we test the system and verify it's working as expected, then clean up the work area. You decide whether to proceed once you've seen the quote and understood what's included.

Our technicians are licensed and insured plumbers in NSW, and they arrive in uniform with identification. We complete police checks and background checks for all staff, which matters when you're letting someone into your home. Drop sheets protect floors where we're working, and we wear boot covers when requested or when site conditions require it. Respect for your property and clear communication are part of how we operate, not just claims we make.

Pricing is fixed per job, not hourly. That removes uncertainty about how long the plumber is onsite. If inspection reveals additional scope beyond the original call, we explain the options and provide a revised quote before proceeding with any extra work. There are no hidden costs added at the end, and the quote is valid for a month from the date it's issued. What you see upfront is what you pay.

With a near-perfect rating across 800+ verified customer reviews and a large multi-van fleet covering the Inner West, we've built a reputation by showing up when we say we will and doing the work to Australian Standards. When you call, we'll confirm the service type, urgency, and ETA, then allocate the nearest available licensed, insured plumber to your job. For pressing emergencies, immediate dispatch means urgent jobs are sent out first from the closest hub.

A slow-draining sink or gurgling toilet usually signals a partial blockage that will worsen if ignored. We clear blocked drains in Strathfield by locating the obstruction with a CCTV drain camera, then removing it using high-pressure jetting or mechanical tools depending on what the camera shows. This covers typical external and internal blockages in accessible lines; if inspection reveals structural damage like root intrusion or collapsed pipe sections, we explain the repair options and provide a separate quote for pipe replacement or relining once the full extent is confirmed.

In practice, we see blockages caused by accumulated grease and soap in kitchen lines, foreign objects in toilet traps, and tree roots entering older terracotta or clay pipes through cracks. What often happens is the drain slows gradually, then backs up completely when peak flow hits the restricted section. Once flow stops, wastewater can back up into fixtures or flood the property, which is why early intervention saves money and avoids the mess.

The CCTV CCTV shows us what's causing the blockage, how far down the line it is, and whether the pipe structure is intact. If roots have penetrated the pipe or sections have separated, clearing the blockage alone won't prevent it from recurring. That's where drain relining becomes relevant. Relining involves inserting a resin-coated liner into the damaged section, then curing it to form a seamless pipe-within-a-pipe that seals cracks and prevents root re-entry.

Relining avoids excavation, which matters when the affected pipe runs beneath driveways, landscaping, or internal floors. The process takes longer than a simple clearing, and costs more, but it addresses the underlying structural issue rather than just removing the symptom. We confirm the liner dimensions, curing method, and estimated timeframe before starting, and we test the repaired line with water flow and a final camera pass to verify the seal is watertight and structurally sound.

Fixed Today installs, repairs, and replaces hot water systems across Strathfield properties, working with electric storage, continuous flow gas, heat pump, and solar models from major brands including Rheem, Dux, Rinnai, and others. This covers standard residential installations in accessible locations; if the existing unit is in a tight space, on a roof, or requires structural support upgrades, we confirm access and any additional work needed before quoting.

A typical scenario we encounter is a sudden loss of hot water, which usually indicates a failed heating element in electric systems, a faulty gas valve or burner in continuous flow units, or a leak that's drained the tank. Another pattern is fluctuating water temperature, often caused by a failing thermostat or sediment buildup insulating the heating element. If the unit is over ten years old and repairs are costly, replacement often makes more sense than repeated fixes.

The first visit involves inspecting the current system, checking the inlet and outlet connections, confirming the power or gas supply, and testing water flow and temperature. For replacements, we measure the space, confirm the connection types, and verify that switchboard capacity or gas line sizing supports the new unit. Installations must comply with Australian Standards, including Pressure Relief Valve and Tempering Valve requirements, which limit outlet temperature to prevent scalding and manage tank pressure safely.

We explain the differences between system types based on your usage patterns and site constraints. Continuous flow gas provides endless hot water and saves space, but requires adequate gas pressure and venting. Electric storage is straightforward to install but takes time to reheat. Heat pumps are energy-efficient but need outdoor space and work less effectively in cold climates. Once you've selected a system, we provide a fixed quote covering removal of the old unit, installation, compliance testing, and disposal of the replaced tank.

We repair gutter and roof leaks affecting Strathfield properties by identifying the entry point, then sealing or replacing the damaged section to prevent water ingress. This covers leaks at penetrations like vent pipes and skylights, rusted or separated gutter sections, and damaged flashing around roof junctions; if the leak has caused internal water damage to ceilings or walls, we focus on stopping the source first, then explain what's needed to repair the secondary damage once the structure is dry.

A pattern we notice is that roof leaks often go undetected until they cause visible staining on ceilings or walls. What happens is water enters through a small gap, travels along roof timbers or internal cavities, then appears inside the building at a point distant from the actual entry. That makes pinpointing the source difficult without inspecting the roof externally. Gutter leaks are more obvious, usually showing as overflow during rain or rust holes in older metal gutters.

On first inspection, we check the roof penetrations, examine gutter joints and downpipes, and trace the path of any visible water stains. If the leak occurs during rain, we can often see the entry point directly. If it's intermittent, we look for rust, cracks, separated seals, or gaps in flashing that would allow water through. Once located, we confirm whether the repair involves resealing a penetration, replacing a gutter section, or re-flashing a roof junction.

After repairing the leak, we test the repair by running water over the affected area to confirm it's sealed. Gutter repairs are checked for proper fall and clearance to ensure water flows to downpipes without pooling. If the gutter system is old and multiple sections are rusted, it's worth considering a full replacement to avoid ongoing patching. The work is completed to ensure rainwater is diverted safely off the roof and away from the building, protecting the structure from long-term water damage.

Fixed Today repairs and replaces toilets across Strathfield properties, addressing issues like continuous running, poor flush, blockages, leaks around the base, and cistern faults. This covers standard close-coupled and link toilets where parts are accessible and available; if the toilet is an older model with obsolete components or the pan is cracked, replacement becomes necessary, which we confirm after inspecting the unit and checking part availability.

What typically happens is a toilet starts running constantly after flushing, which indicates a faulty flush valve or flap seal that's not sealing properly. That wastes water and creates noise. Another common issue is a weak or incomplete flush, usually caused by low water level in the cistern, a blocked rim jet, or insufficient inlet valve flow. Blockages occur when foreign objects or excessive paper lodge in the trap, restricting flow and causing backup.

We diagnose the fault by checking the cistern internals, testing the flush mechanism, and inspecting the pan for cracks or damage. Continuous running is often fixed by replacing the flush valve or adjusting the float height. Weak flush might require descaling the jets or replacing the inlet valve to restore proper fill. Blockages are cleared using a plunger or closet auger, depending on the obstruction type and location within the trap.

If the toilet is leaking at the pan base, it typically indicates the wax seal or rubber gasket has failed, allowing water to seep out during flushing. That requires removing the toilet, replacing the seal, and reinstalling the pan with correct alignment and bolting pressure. After completing any toilet repair, we test the flush multiple times, check for leaks, and verify the cistern refills to the correct level. The repair is backed by our workmanship warranty, and we clean up around the base before leaving.

For strata properties in Strathfield, we provide plumbing services that address common property responsibilities and coordinate with strata managers for access, approvals, and documentation. This covers primary line blockages, hot water system servicing in common plant rooms, and shared drainage repairs; individual lot issues are typically the owner's responsibility, which we clarify during the initial assessment to avoid confusion about who pays for what.

A pattern we notice in strata buildings is that blocked main drains often affect multiple units, and identifying the exact cause requires CCTV check to confirm whether the obstruction is in common property lines or within a private lot's connection. What often happens is a blockage develops in a shared stack or main sewer line, causing backflow into lower-level units. That requires immediate response to minimise damage and health risks.

We work with strata committees and managing agents to schedule access, confirm scope, and provide quotes that separate common property work from individual lot repairs. For urgent issues affecting multiple residents, we can dispatch immediately to make the situation safe, then provide a detailed scope and quote for permanent repairs once the immediate risk is contained. Documentation for strata records is provided after completion, including photos, test results, and compliance certificates where relevant.

Strata plumbing often involves working in tight plant rooms, accessing roof spaces, or coordinating around resident schedules. We confirm access windows when booking and follow building site induction or sign-in procedures where required. The goal is to resolve the issue with minimal disruption to residents while meeting strata compliance requirements and maintaining clear communication with the managing agent throughout the job.

Plumbing emergencies at Strathfield properties receive immediate dispatch when the situation involves safety risks or rapid property damage. Fixed Today provides 24/7 emergency plumbing response for broken pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and hot water service failures where delay would worsen the outcome. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as urgent, call us, and we'll confirm the risk level and allocate the appropriate response priority.

A typical emergency scenario we encounter is a broken pipe flooding a property, where water is actively spraying or pooling and causing damage to floors, walls, or belongings. Another urgent situation is a suspected gas leak, identified by smell or sound, which creates immediate safety risks. Sewer backups into the home are also treated as emergencies due to health hazards and the unpleasant conditions they create. Hot water system failures aren't usually emergencies unless they're leaking significantly or affecting vulnerable occupants who rely on hot water for medical or hygiene needs.

When you call for emergency service, we ask about the symptoms, confirm your address and postcode, and provide an ETA based on current job locations and traffic. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available licensed and insured plumbing technician is allocated to your call from our West Sydney or other regional hubs. If there's a safe temporary action you can take while waiting, such as isolating water at the meter, we'll guide you briefly, but we don't ask you to diagnose or repair the fault yourself.

On arrival, the plumber assesses the situation, makes it safe by isolating supplies where needed, and explains what's caused the fault and what's required to fix it. If the repair can be completed immediately, we provide a fixed quote and proceed once you've agreed. If parts are needed or access is limited, we contain the issue temporarily, then schedule a return visit to complete the permanent repair. Emergency work is backed by our workmanship warranty, and we clean up and secure the site before leaving. The goal is to resolve the crisis quickly, minimise damage, and restore safety and function to your property.
