Plumbing FAQ's in Belmore
Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what will happen next. These are straightforward answers to common questions we hear from Belmore locals, including pricing, timing, and what an onsite assessment involves.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing, drainage, and any gas work in Belmore, a properly licensed plumbing technician is the safer option because the risk is water damage, hygiene issues, or unsafe connections. Small visible issues can still hide bigger problems behind walls or under floors. If the job affects gas, sewers, or concealed pipework, arrange an onsite assessment so the scope can be confirmed and quoted properly.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what the assessment finds, how accessible the fault is, and what parts are required. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts once scope is confirmed. When booking from Belmore, ask whether a call-out fee applies for your address, as no call-out fee applies in many service areas (check specific suburb pages).
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing covers general plumbing as well as specialised services across Sydney, including Belmore. This includes blocked drains, sewer repairs, pipe relining, CCTV inspections, hot water service work, leaking taps and pipes, gutter and roof leaks, toilet and shower repairs, and licensed gas fitting. If inspection shows the issue is more complex than first reported, options are explained and quoted before extra work proceeds.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite visit is the usual way to quote accurately in Belmore because access, the affected line, and the cause need to be confirmed. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before work starts, once the scope is clear. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, which gives you time to decide after you understand what is involved.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. In NSW this can include drainage and gas fitting work when the technician is appropriately licensed. A typical callout involves identifying the fault, confirming what is accessible, providing a fixed-price quote, then completing the repair and verifying function before leaving.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by worn internal cistern parts such as a fill valve or flush seal. It is rarely urgent unless it is overflowing or causing water damage, but it can waste a lot of water. A fully licensed NSW plumber can confirm the cause quickly onsite and replace the correct parts, then test the flush and refill cycle before leaving.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from the tapware, the shower head connection, or the waterproofing and waste area, so the right fix depends on where the water is escaping. If the leak is causing water to run into walls, floors, or the room below, stop using the shower and book an inspection. Once the cause is confirmed, the repair is quoted upfront before work starts.
Do you service the entire Belmore area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Belmore 2192 as part of the Sydney metropolitan areas. The business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, and jobs are allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. Availability and arrival timing depend on current bookings and traffic, and ETA updates are provided where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and provides CCTV inspections, high-pressure water jetting, and structural pipe repair where needed. The first step is confirming what is blocked and why, because the right solution differs for grease build-up versus damaged pipework. Once the cause is identified onsite, you receive a fixed-price quote before repair or clearing work begins.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and service the same day is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. The attending technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, so when we arrive depends on which technician is free and road conditions at the time. When you book, the team provides clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.
