Emergency Plumbing FAQ's in Cecil Hills
The following questions reflect common concerns from Cecil Hills residents dealing with emergency plumbing situations. If your question isn't answered here, contact Fixed Today Plumbing at 1800 349 338 for immediate assistance.
Should I attempt emergency plumbing repairs myself?
DIY plumbing repairs can void manufacturer warranties, fail future building inspections, and create safety risks if gas or electrical components are involved. For emergency situations like burst pipes, gas leaks, or sewer backups, contact a licensed plumbing professional immediately to prevent property damage and ensure the repair is legal and safe.
How much do emergency plumbing services cost?
Emergency plumbing costs depend on the fault type, access requirements, and parts needed. We provide a fixed-price quote before starting work, based on confirmed scope, so you can decide with full information. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden fees added later. Confirm call-out fee status when booking.
What plumbing situations need urgent attention?
Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and hot water supply service failures all need immediate attention to prevent property damage or safety risks. If water is actively flooding, you smell gas, or sewage is backing up into the property, turn off the water or gas supply if safe to do so and contact a fully licensed plumbing technician immediately.
How do you provide quotes for emergency work?
We assess the fault onsite using diagnostic tools, confirm the cause, and provide a fixed-fee quote before starting work. Phone quotes can miss critical details, so an onsite visit ensures the quote is accurate and there are no surprise costs later. You decide once scope and price are confirmed.
What is included in emergency plumbing services?
Emergency plumbing services cover urgent situations like broken pipes, blocked drains, gas leaks, and hot water failures. The service includes immediate dispatch, onsite diagnosis using CCTV cameras or leak detectors, fixed-price quoting, installation or repair to Australian plumbing standards, and verification testing before leaving. If structural damage or compliance work is identified, options are explained and quoted separately.
How can I stop a toilet from running continuously?
A continuously running toilet is usually caused by a faulty flapper valve, incorrect float height, or a damaged fill valve. If adjusting the float or replacing the flapper doesn't resolve it, contact Fixed Today Plumbing at 1800 349 338 for assessment and repair. Running toilets waste significant water and increase bills if left unaddressed.
What should I do if the shower is leaking?
Shower leaks can originate from damaged grout, failed waterproofing membranes, or faulty mixer valves. If water is entering the wall cavity or ceiling below, turn off the water supply and contact a NSW-properly licensed plumbing technician immediately to prevent structural damage. We assess the leak source, explain the repair options, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work.
