Plumbing FAQ's in Acacia Gardens
These are the practical plumbing questions we regularly hear from Acacia Gardens residents and property managers. Each answer is general guidance only, because the right fix depends on what's found onsite. If you describe the symptom and urgency, Fixed Today Plumbing can book an attending licensed technician and confirm the cause, then provide fixed upfront pricing once scope is clear.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing work, hiring a licensed plumbing specialist is the safer option because hidden leaks, drainage faults, and gas issues can create property damage or safety risks if handled incorrectly. Gas work should only be done by a NSW-licensed gas fitter. If you're unsure, book an assessment so the cause can be confirmed and a flat-rate quote provided before any work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs vary by job because the price depends on what has failed, access to the pipework, and whether parts need replacing. Blocked drains, leaks, and hot water faults can look similar on the surface but require different work once inspected. Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, upfront pricing after confirming the scope onsite, so you can decide before approving the repair.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing covers general plumbing, drainage, hot water systems, and gas fitting across Acacia Gardens and the wider Sydney metro. Common jobs include blocked drains, leaking taps, toilet repairs, burst or leaking pipes, and roof and gutter leaks. If an inspection identifies a structural drainage issue, repair options such as pipe repair or relining can be discussed and quoted once confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite visit is the reliable way to quote because plumbing faults depend on access, materials, and where the problem is located. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the scope during the assessment and then provides a fixed-price quote before starting work. If the findings change the job, the options are explained clearly and the scope is confirmed again before anything additional proceeds.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures so the system works safely and reliably. The job often includes locating the cause of a leak or blockage, repairing or replacing faulty components, and testing the system before leaving. In regulated areas like gas fitting, the work must be completed by a licensed professional and documented where required.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet is usually caused by worn seals or a faulty fill or flush valve inside the cistern, and it can waste water continuously if left. The practical next step is to book a plumber to inspect the cistern and confirm which parts are failing. Once diagnosed, the repair is normally straightforward, and the toilet can be tested for proper shut-off before the job is closed.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower should be assessed early because water can travel into wall cavities and floors before it becomes obvious. The fix depends on whether the leak is from the plumbing fittings, the mixer, or pipework behind the wall. A plumber can confirm the source, explain the options, and quote the work once the access requirements are clear, instead of guessing and replacing parts unnecessarily.
Do you service the entire Acacia Gardens area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Acacia Gardens and all Sydney metropolitan regions, and plumbers are sent from localised dispatch points across Sydney. That means both urgent and standard jobs can be booked without relying on a single local van. If you're in the Acacia Gardens 2763 area, you can book same-day service for standard enquiries where availability allows.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also handles CCTV inspections and structural drainage repairs where needed. The process is to confirm what is causing the blockage, clear it with the appropriate method, then verify flow. If inspection shows roots or pipe damage, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed, which helps prevent the blockage from returning.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch and 24/7 Emergency support. For non-urgent work, same day service is available for routine plumbing and gas enquiries, depending on existing bookings. The quickest way to get an accurate arrival expectation is to describe the symptom and urgency on the phone, so the right technician and equipment can be allocated.
