Plumbing FAQ's in Annangrove
Plumbing decisions are easier when the process and costs are clear, especially in an emergency. These are common questions we hear from Annangrove locals, with direct answers on pricing, arrival expectations, and what an onsite assessment involves.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For anything involving gas, suspected leaks, or repeated blockages, a properly licensed plumber (NSW) is the safer option because the cause needs to be confirmed before repairs are approved. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the scope onsite, explains what was found in plain English, and provides fixed, upfront pricing before work starts. If the job is straightforward, you can approve it with the scope clear.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is found during the onsite assessment, access to the affected area, and what parts are needed. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you see the full price before work begins. For Annangrove bookings, it is also worth asking whether a call-out fee applies to your address.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general domestic and commercial plumbing services, plus licensed drainage and gas fitting. Common work includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, ruptured pipe repairs and leak testing, hot water service system repairs and installations, toilet repairs, leaking tap repairs, roof and gutter leaks, and gas leak detection. If inspection shows structural damage, options are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, all jobs in the 2156 postcode need to be personally assessed so the cause and access can be confirmed before pricing is set. Quoting without seeing the issue can miss hidden leaks or broader pipe damage. After the onsite assessment, a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber is a licensed tradesperson who repairs, installs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures. In practice, the work often involves locating the actual cause (not just the symptom), isolating the issue safely, repairing or replacing the affected part, then testing the system before leaving. For gas work, a licensed gas fitter is required.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet is usually caused by a cistern component not sealing correctly, but it needs checking because it can waste water and sometimes points to pressure issues. If the toilet keeps running or you can see water continuing to flow into the bowl, booking a plumber is the safer path. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess it onsite and quote the repair upfront.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower is not always a simple fixture swap, because water can travel behind walls and under floors before it becomes visible. If you see water staining, swelling cabinetry, or repeated puddling outside the shower, arrange an assessment so the source can be confirmed. Once diagnosed, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before completing the repair.
Do you service the entire Annangrove area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing serves the entire Annangrove area, including the 2156 postcode, and also services all Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergencies, immediate dispatch is available and the nearest available properly licensed technician is allocated from local dispatch locations across Sydney. For standard work, service the same day is available depending on current bookings and traffic.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Annangrove and can also handle sewer repairs and drain relining where required. The job starts with confirming where the restriction is and what caused it, then the clearing method is chosen to suit the pipework. If inspection indicates structural damage, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed on site.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated. For non-urgent work, service the same day is available for general plumbing and gas enquiries. An exact arrival time depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, and ETA updates are provided where possible.
