Plumbing FAQ's in Birrong
These FAQs answer common questions we hear from Birrong residents and local businesses about booking, pricing, safety and what to expect on the day. If your situation is urgent or unusual, a phone call is often the fastest way to confirm whether it needs emergency attendance or a same-day booking.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In NSW, plumbing, drainage and gas fitting work should be completed by a licensed plumbing technician because incorrect work can create safety risks and property damage. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are licensed and insured plumbers in NSW. If the job needs regulated paperwork, the required compliance documentation is provided once the scope is confirmed on site.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs depend on the scope of work, access to the fault, parts required and whether the job is urgent after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and you receive a fixed-price quote after an site assessment and before we begin. If extra work is identified during inspection, options are explained and quoted before proceeding.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing in Birrong, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water work, leaking taps, toilets, showers, ruptured pipes, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. The right approach depends on what is affected and how accessible the pipework is. The technician confirms the scope onsite, then quotes a fixed price before starting.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing assesses jobs onsite in Birrong so the cause, access and scope are confirmed before pricing is set. Phone quotes can be inaccurate because the same symptom can have different causes, and access can change the time and parts required. Once the assessment is complete, you are given a fixed-price quote and you can decide whether to proceed.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair and maintain water, drainage and gas systems in homes and businesses. That can include finding and repairing leaks, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets and taps, and installing or servicing hot water systems. Some work is regulated, especially gas fitting and certain drainage work, so using a properly licensed service technician helps ensure the job is completed safely and to required standards.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running usually needs a repair to the cistern components or a seal, and it can waste a lot of water if left untreated. The safest next step is to book a properly properly licensed plumber to inspect it and confirm whether it is a simple internal repair or a sign of a blockage. If there is active overflow, stop using the toilet and arrange urgent attendance.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often comes from the shower head, mixer, waste, or concealed pipework, and the damage can spread outside the wet area if it continues. A duly licensed plumbing technician can inspect the fittings and confirm what is actually leaking before quoting the repair. If water is running into adjoining rooms or down walls, it is worth treating it as urgent to limit damage.
Do you service the entire Birrong area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services Birrong and all Sydney metropolitan regions, and the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. For Birrong bookings, the nearest available licensed technician is allocated from local dispatch points across Sydney. If you have access constraints, it helps to mention them at booking so the right vehicle and equipment are sent.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Birrong using diagnostic and clearing equipment such as high-definition drain inspection cameras and high-pressure water jetting where suitable. The line is assessed first so the cause and location are confirmed, then you receive a flat-rate quote before unblocking begins. If the inspection shows structural pipe damage, repair options are explained and quoted once scoped.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing offers immediate dispatch for plumbing emergencies and same-day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing depends on the current booking load and traffic conditions, but ETA updates are provided where possible once the job is scheduled. If you call with a clear description of the problem and access details, it helps allocate the right technician and equipment.
