Plumber Woolooware

Fixed Today Plumbing operates as a family-owned business with over 15 years of service across Sydney's metropolitan regions. All work is completed by properly licensed NSW plumbers and backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, which covers the quality of the installation or repair for as long as you own the property. Manufacturer warranties on parts and appliances are separate and depend on the brand and product installed. The labour warranty means that if a fault develops due to how the work was performed, we return and fix it at no additional labour cost. This applies to structural integrity, join quality, and installation standards, not to wear-and-tear or damage from external causes.

When you call, you'll speak with our customer service team who confirm the nature of the issue, urgency level, and any access requirements before dispatch. For emergency situations, the nearest available licensed service technician is allocated and sent immediately. For scheduled work, we provide an arrival window and update you if traffic or a prior job affects timing. Work doesn't start until the scope is explained and a fixed-price quote is provided. You decide whether to proceed once you know the full cost, which is calculated by the job and not by the hour. That pricing structure removes the pressure of watching the clock while the plumber works.

Fixed Today Plumbing holds a near-perfect 5-star rating based on over 800 verified customer reviews. That reputation reflects consistent delivery of transparent pricing, respectful conduct in homes, and durable outcomes. We don't increase the quoted price at the end of a job due to "unexpected complications"; if inspection reveals additional work, the options are explained and a revised quote is provided before proceeding. This approach has made us a relied-upon emergency plumber in Woolooware and across South Sydney for both urgent callouts and planned maintenance.

Drainage blockages in Woolooware properties are cleared by locating the restriction using a high-definition CCTV drain camera, then removing it with high-pressure water jetting or mechanical clearing depending on the obstruction type and pipe condition. This covers typical internal and external blockages in accessible lines; if inspection shows structural damage or root intrusion that has compromised the pipe, relining or replacement options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed. The clearing method is selected based on what the camera shows, not guessed before the line is inspected.

In residential plumbing, drainage blockages commonly result from fat and grease buildup in kitchen lines, where oils solidify as they cool and trap solid waste over time. In older properties, tree root intrusion is a frequent cause, particularly where fine roots enter microscopic cracks in aging clay or terracotta pipes and expand as they absorb moisture. External blockages often involve stormwater debris, while internal blockages may be caused by foreign objects, excessive toilet paper, or hygiene products that don't break down.

High-pressure water jetting uses specialised nozzles that fire water at pressures between 3,000 and 5,000 PSI to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring the line to near-full capacity. Mechanical "electric eels" are still used for specific obstructions like metal or plastic objects that jetting can't break apart. The CCTV camera confirms the blockage is fully cleared and allows us to check for any remaining structural issues that could cause a repeat blockage later. If the pipe shows cracks, offsets, or collapse, we explain whether relining is viable or if excavation and replacement is required.

For gas appliance work, all installations, reconnections, and leak repairs are performed by licensed gas fitters who hold current NSW gas fitting qualifications. Gas work in Australia must comply with AS/NZS 5601.1, which sets safety standards for installations, pressure testing, and ventilation. After any gas line repair or appliance connection, a pressure loss test is performed to confirm the system is gas-tight before it's recommissioned. Compliance certificates are issued where required by regulation, and you receive a copy for your records. If you detect the distinctive "rotten egg" odour added to natural gas, or notice hissing sounds near appliances, shut off the gas supply at the meter if it's safe to do so and arrange an assessment immediately. Do not attempt to locate the leak yourself or use electrical switches near the suspected area.

Hot water system failures across Woolooware properties are typically caused by sediment buildup in the tank base, a failing sacrificial anode rod that allows corrosion, a faulty thermostat or heating element, or pressure relief valve issues. In storage systems, the first sign is often rust-coloured water in the morning before the tank has settled, or fluctuating temperatures that indicate the thermostat or element isn't maintaining consistent heat. Continuous flow gas systems may show reduced output or fail to ignite if the burner or gas valve is faulty.

When a hot water service stops working, the plumber confirms the power or gas supply is active, then inspects the system for visible faults like leaks, corrosion, or error codes on digital displays. For electric storage systems, the thermostat and elements are tested. For gas systems, the burner and ignition assembly are checked. If the fault is a worn component that can be replaced, a fixed-price quote for the replacement is provided before proceeding. If the tank has corroded through or the system is beyond economical repair, replacement options are explained with models and pricing suitable for your household size and fuel type.

We install and service all major hot water brands including Rheem, Dux, Rinnai, Aquamax, and Bosch across electric storage, continuous flow gas, and heat pump systems. Installations must comply with AS/NZS 3500 standards, which require a licensed plumbing specialist to fit Tempering Valves (limiting outlet temperature to 50°C to prevent scalding) and Pressure Relief Valves (preventing tank over-pressurisation). Compliance with these standards protects your warranty and ensures the system is safe for household use.

For properties considering a system upgrade, we explain the differences between electric storage (lower upfront cost, higher running cost), continuous flow gas (energy efficient, space-saving, requires gas connection), and heat pump systems (highly efficient, higher upfront cost, requires outdoor clearance). The right choice depends on household size, available space, existing fuel connections, and budget. We provide recommendations based on what's practical for your property, not what earns the highest margin.

Roof and gutter leaks in Woolooware properties are repaired by locating the entry point where water is penetrating, then sealing or replacing the damaged flashing, tile, or gutter section. This covers typical roof plumbing faults like cracked valley flashings, deteriorated rubber boots around vent pipes, or corroded gutter joins; if inspection shows widespread roof sheet corrosion or structural damage to the gutter framework, re-roofing or full gutter replacement options are explained once the extent is confirmed. Roof leaks are often intermittent and tied to specific weather conditions, which makes the source harder to locate without proper assessment.

In residential roofing, leaks commonly occur at penetrations (vent pipes, skylights, chimneys) where flashing has deteriorated, at valley intersections where debris buildup causes water to back up under tiles, or at gutter overflow points where blockages force water under the fascia. Gutter leaks typically develop at rusted seams or where brackets have pulled away and created gaps. If the leak is active during rain, the entry point can often be identified by tracing the water path. If the leak is intermittent, a pressure test or visual inspection from inside the roof cavity may be needed to locate the fault.

Once the leak source is confirmed, the repair involves removing damaged flashing and installing new flashing with proper overlap and sealant, replacing cracked tiles or corroded roof sheets, or re-bedding ridge capping that has come loose. Gutter repairs may involve patching small holes with sealant, replacing corroded sections, or re-securing brackets and joins. After the repair is completed, we test the area with water to confirm the leak is resolved before leaving. All roof work is performed safely with appropriate fall protection where height or pitch requires it.

Toilet faults across Woolooware properties include continuous running after flushing, weak or incomplete flush, leaks at the base, and blockages that cause overflowing. A running toilet is typically caused by a worn flapper valve or fill valve that doesn't seal properly, allowing water to continuously flow from the cistern into the bowl. A weak flush often results from sediment buildup in the rim jets, a faulty flush valve, or incorrect water level in the cistern. Leaks at the base are usually caused by a deteriorated wax seal or pan collar, while blockages are caused by excessive toilet paper, hygiene products, or foreign objects.

When you report a toilet issue, the plumber inspects the cistern mechanism, tests the flush action, and checks for leaks at the base and water supply connection. For a running toilet, the flapper or fill valve is replaced. For a inadequate flush, the rim jets are cleaned or the flush valve is adjusted or replaced. For base leaks, the toilet is removed, the old seal is replaced, and the toilet is re-set and re-sealed. For blockages, a plunger or closet auger is used first; if that doesn't clear it, the blockage may be further down the line and require drain clearing equipment.

Toilets that rock or move when you sit on them often have a failed wax seal, which allows sewer gas to escape and water to leak. If you notice a sewage smell in the bathroom or dampness around the toilet base, arrange a repair before the leak damages the floor structure. All toilet repairs are tested after completion to confirm proper flush function, no leaks, and stable mounting. The work area is cleaned and disinfected before we leave.

Fixed Today Plumbing services residential, commercial, and strata properties across Woolooware with general plumbing maintenance, trenchless pipe relining, commercial plumbing, and emergency plumbing response. Our scope includes routine tap and toilet repairs, complex drainage diagnostics and clearing, water heater installations, gas appliance connections, gutter and roof leak fixes, and structural pipe repairs using no-dig relining technology. Each job is approached with the same process: diagnose the fault, explain the options, provide a fixed-price quote, complete the work to Australian Standards, and verify the outcome before leaving.

For strata and commercial clients, we provide documentation suitable for maintenance logs, compliance records, and insurance claims where required. We can coordinate access with property managers, follow site induction procedures, and work within restricted time windows to minimise disruption to tenants or business operations. Our multi-van fleet and localised dispatch points allow us to allocate the right technician and vehicle for the job, whether it's a small unit repair or a multi-stage commercial installation.

When you contact Fixed Today Plumbing, you'll speak with our customer service team who confirm the issue type, urgency level, and any access requirements before dispatch. For emergency situations, the nearest available licensed field technician is sent immediately with an ETA provided once the technician is allocated and en route. For scheduled work, we provide an arrival window and update you if timing changes due to traffic or prior job delays. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship and completed by licensed NSW plumbers who carry identification and arrive in uniform.

If you're unsure whether a plumbing issue needs prompt attention or can wait for a scheduled booking, a short call allows us to assess the risk level and confirm the appropriate response. We don't coach DIY repairs over the phone; instead, we clarify whether the situation justifies emergency dispatch or if a planned visit is sufficient. Our goal is to get the right technician to your property with the right equipment to resolve the issue permanently on the first visit.
