Emergency Plumbing FAQ's for Busby
Emergency plumbing problems are disruptive, especially when there is active water, sewer overflow, or any gas concern. These FAQ answers explain what usually happens next in Busby and what affects timing and cost, without asking you to diagnose the fault yourself.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergencies in Busby, a licensed plumbing specialist is usually the safer option because water and gas faults can damage property or create safety risks if handled incorrectly. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers in NSW, and the problem is assessed onsite before work begins. If the situation is minor, you still get clear options and a fixed-fee quote once the scope is confirmed.
How much does emergency plumbing cost?
Emergency plumbing cost depends on the scope, access to the faulty area, 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), so you receive a flat-rate quote with no hidden fees before starting work. Payment can be made by all major Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard) once the work is complete.
What emergencies do you handle?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles common emergency plumbing issues in Busby such as burst pipes, active water leaks, blocked drains and sewer overflows, hot water service failures, and gas leaks. The attending technician confirms what is happening onsite before quoting. If the inspection shows additional work is needed beyond the initial fault, options are explained and scope is confirmed before proceeding.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is usually required in Busby because the cause and access conditions affect the scope and the fixed price. Fixed Today Plumbing completes diagnosis first, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. If access is restricted or the fault is concealed, we explain what is involved so you can make an informed decision.
What can emergency plumbers do?
An emergency plumber can make the situation safe, stop further damage, and complete urgent repairs such as leak control, blocked drain clearing, and hot water restoration where possible. Fixed Today Plumbing follows a diagnose-and-quote approach before starting work, so you know the scope and fixed price first. If the job needs specialised repair work, the next steps are explained clearly.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs internal parts checked and replaced, and a licensed and fully insured plumber can confirm the cause without guesswork. If the toilet is overflowing or causing water damage, it is reasonable to shut off water to the toilet only if you can do it safely, then book a plumber. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet onsite and provide a fixed price quote once scope is defined.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower is best assessed early because water can travel into wall and floor areas and cause hidden damage. If there is active water you cannot control, stop using the shower and arrange a licensed and properly insured plumber to inspect it. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm whether the leak is from the fixture, pipework, or another source, then provide a fixed-price quote before work starts.

Can you handle blocked drains quickly?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Busby using diagnostic equipment such as CCTV drain cameras and clearing tools such as high-pressure jetters. How quickly it can be resolved depends on what is causing the restriction and whether the pipe is damaged. Once the blockage is located, the options are explained and a flat-rate quote is provided before we begin.
