Plumber Tempe

Professional plumbing in Tempe starts with diagnosing the fault using the right equipment, CCTV cameras for drainage, electronic leak detectors for hidden bursts, and pressure testing for gas lines. Once the cause is identified, we explain what's involved, provide a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees, then complete the repair and verify the outcome before leaving. This covers typical commercial and domestic situations; if inspection reveals additional faults or scope changes, we pause to confirm the revised quote and get your approval before proceeding.

Emergency jobs are dispatched immediately, with the nearest available properly licensed plumber allocated from our local hubs across Sydney. You'll receive an ETA update when the technician is on the way. Standard bookings are scheduled around your availability, and we coordinate with strata or property managers when access windows or parking restrictions apply. All attending technicians are correctly licensed plumbers in NSW, and we complete background and police checks as part of our hiring process.

The work itself follows Australian Standards for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting. We use drop sheets to protect floors, wear boot covers in homes when requested, and clean up the work area once the job is done. If required documentation is required for regulated work such as gas appliance connections or backflow prevention devices, we provide it at the end of the job. You'll also receive a detailed invoice suitable for landlords, agents, or business records.

What sets this apart from hourly billing is transparency. The quote you receive is the price you pay, whether the job takes one hour or three. If something unexpected comes up during the work, we explain what's changed and confirm the revised cost before continuing. That fixed-price guarantee removes the guesswork and lets you decide with confidence once scope is clear.

Hot water system installations in Tempe start with confirming what type suits the property, electric storage, continuous flow gas, or heat pump. Electric storage tanks are the lowest upfront cost and work well when roof space or outdoor area is available. Continuous flow gas systems save space and provide endless hot water, but require adequate gas supply and proper venting to outdoors. Heat pumps are the most energy-efficient long-term but need outdoor clearance for the compressor unit and work less effectively in very cold weather.

The installation itself involves isolating the existing hot water unit, draining it, disconnecting water and power or gas supply, then removing the old unit. We install the new system to meet Australian Standards, which includes fitting a Tempering Valve to limit tap temperature to 50°C and prevent scalding, and a Pressure Relief Valve to protect the tank from over-pressurisation. For gas systems, we pressure-test the gas line and issue a compliance certificate once the installation is verified safe.

Servicing involves checking the sacrificial anode rod inside storage tanks, which corrodes over time to protect the tank lining from rust. If the anode is heavily corroded, replacing it extends the tank's lifespan. We also flush sediment buildup from the bottom of the tank, test the Pressure Relief Valve to confirm it's not seized, and check that the Tempering Valve is delivering the correct outlet temperature. For continuous flow systems, we inspect the heat exchanger for scale buildup and test the ignition sequence.

When a hot water supply system fails completely, the usual cause is either a burst tank due to corrosion, a failed heating element in electric systems, or a faulty gas valve in continuous flow units. Rust-coloured water in the morning is often the first sign of internal tank corrosion. Fluctuating temperatures or no hot water at all can indicate a failed thermostat or element. We assess what's failed, confirm whether repair or replacement is the more cost-effective option, then quote accordingly and explain the warranty coverage on parts and labour.

All plumbing work completed by Fixed Today Plumbing is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, which covers the workmanship and installation quality for as long as you own the property. This applies to labour only; parts and fixtures carry the manufacturer's warranty, which varies by brand and component type. If a repair or installation fails due to how the work was performed, we return to fix it at no additional labour cost. That warranty accountability is only meaningful when paired with proper documentation and clear communication about what's covered.

What the warranty doesn't cover is damage caused by external factors such as ground movement, tree root intrusion, or wear from harsh water chemistry. It also doesn't extend to parts that have reached the end of their expected service life. When we quote a job, we explain what's included in the warranty coverage and what factors could affect the long-term outcome, so you're making an informed decision from the start.

That lifetime commitment reflects our confidence in the quality of work and the materials we use. We stock premium-grade fittings and components from brands like Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai because they're reliable and parts availability is consistent when servicing is needed years later. Using quality materials reduces the likelihood of premature failure and means the warranty is rarely called upon, but it's there when needed.

Accountability also means being upfront when something is outside our control. If we identify a problem during the initial assessment that changes the scope or cost, we pause to explain the situation and confirm the revised quote before continuing. If the repair is temporary because access or budget constraints prevent a permanent fix, we document that clearly so you understand what's been addressed and what remains. Transparency builds trust more effectively than overpromising.
