Plumbing FAQ's in Carss Park
Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what will happen next. These are common questions we hear from Carss Park residents, landlords, and businesses, answered in plain English. If your situation is urgent or unusual, the safest next step is booking an onsite assessment so the scope and fixed-price quote can be confirmed.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing and gas work in Carss Park, a licensed plumber is the safe choice because water damage, hygiene risks, and compliance issues can escalate quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting. If the issue involves gas, sewage, or an active leak, arrange professional attendance so the cause can be confirmed and repaired correctly.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Carss Park depends on the scope, access, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you are given a fixed-fee quote before work starts once the onsite assessment confirms what is needed. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Carss Park, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water systems, leaking taps, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. The exact method depends on what the onsite assessment finds, for example, whether a drain is simply blocked or the pipe is damaged. After confirming the scope, the work is quoted at a fixed price.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite visit is used to confirm the cause and scope before quoting, because pricing depends on access, the affected pipework, and what is found during diagnosis. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before starting work once the assessment is complete. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm Carss Park details when booking.
On what do Plumbers depend?
A plumber depends on safe access to the relevant fixtures and pipework, and on accurate diagnosis to avoid repeat faults. In practice, the same symptom can be caused by different failures, which is why tools like CCTV drain cameras and leak detection equipment are commonly used in the trade. Once the cause is confirmed onsite, the job can be quoted and completed to applicable standards.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs a repair to internal cistern parts, and delaying it can waste water and lead to leaks that damage flooring. The safest approach is to stop using the toilet if there is visible leaking and book a NSW-licensed plumber (NSW) to assess it. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm whether it is a simple component replacement or a broader issue, then quote the job upfront.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by failing fixtures, drainage issues, or water travelling behind finishes, and it can damage nearby cabinetry and walls over time. If the leak is active or you can see water escaping, avoid using the shower and arrange an assessment. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm the cause onsite and provide a fixed price quote before starting the repair once the scope is clear.
Do you service the entire Carss Park area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Carss Park and the wider Sydney metropolitan regions, with capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Carss Park using diagnostics to locate the restriction and the appropriate clearing method for the pipework. This typically includes CCTV check and high-pressure water jetting where suitable, followed by flow testing. If the camera shows structural damage rather than a simple blockage, repair options such as pipe relining or repair are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.

For Carss Park emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing arranges immediate dispatch and urgent jobs are sent out first. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and the details of the fault, but we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.
