Plumbing FAQ's in Artarmon
Emergency plumbing decisions are easier when you know what will happen next. These Artarmon FAQs cover availability, pricing, onsite quoting, and safety, based on how Fixed Today Plumbing works across Sydney. If you are not sure how urgent your situation is, a quick call can confirm whether immediate dispatch is needed and whether Artarmon has a call-out fee for your address.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Licensed plumbing is the safer choice for anything involving gas, hot water, sewer blockages, or active leaks, because the wrong fix can increase damage or create safety risks. DIY work can also void warranties and fail building inspections. Fixed Today Plumbing uses onsite diagnosis and then provides a fixed-price quote before we begin, so you are not guessing at the cause.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the fault, parts required, and whether the work is after-hours urgent. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and a Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid). No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm Artarmon call-out details when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Artarmon, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water service work, leak detection, ruptured pipe repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The right approach depends on what is found onsite, so the technician confirms the cause first and then explains options before any repair proceeds.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing provides an onsite assessment in Artarmon and then supplies a fixed-price quote before we begin. This matters because phone estimates often miss key details like access, pipe material, or whether the fault is isolated or part of a bigger issue. The quote is based on confirmed scope and is valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers work on the systems that bring water into a property, remove wastewater, and, when licensed, install and repair gas connections. In day-to-day terms that includes finding leaks, clearing drains, repairing pipes, and installing hot water systems. For safety and compliance, regulated work should be completed by licensed technicians and tested before the job is signed off.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet usually indicates a faulty internal valve or seal, and it can waste a lot of water if left unattended. The practical next step is an inspection so the cause can be confirmed and the correct parts used. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend in Artarmon, explain what is happening, and provide fixed, transparent pricing once the scope is clear.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower can be more than a visible drip, because water can track into wall cavities or the floor and cause damage over time. If you notice persistent dampness, swelling skirting, or ongoing water marks, arrange an assessment. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm whether the issue is a fitting, waterproofing-related, or hidden pipework, then quote once the scope is confirmed on site.
Do you service the entire Artarmon area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Artarmon and all Sydney metropolitan areas, with capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. Availability depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, but urgent jobs are prioritised. If access is through strata or restricted parking, let us know when booking so we can plan entry and equipment.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Artarmon using camera inspection equipment to locate the obstruction and high-pressure water jetting to remove it. This approach restores flow and helps confirm why the blockage occurred. If the camera shows broken or deformed pipework, we explain repair options such as structural repair or relining and quote after confirming scope.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and service the same day available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. An exact arrival time depends on current jobs, traffic, and access at the property, but we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. If the job is safety-related, we can confirm urgency by phone and allocate the nearest available technician.
