Do you charge a call-out fee in Condell Park?
Call-out fee status varies by suburb. Some areas within our West Sydney service region do not incur a call-out fee, while others do depending on distance from dispatch hubs. Confirm the call-out fee status for Condell Park when you book, and we'll clarify before the technician is sent.
How quickly can you reach Condell Park for an emergency?
Emergency jobs are dispatched immediately, with the nearest available technician sent from our West Sydney hub. Arrival timing depends on current job load and traffic conditions, but an ETA is provided when you book. Urgent safety risks like gas leaks or active flooding are prioritised ahead of scheduled work.
What does your fixed pricing actually mean?
Fixed pricing means the quote provided onsite is the total price you pay, with no hourly rate, no time-based increases, and no hidden fees added later. The price is locked in once you accept the quote, and it stays fixed even if the job takes longer than expected.
What if the problem is worse than expected once you start?
If inspection or initial work reveals additional faults not visible during the initial assessment, we stop, explain what's been found, and provide a revised quote for the additional work. You decide whether to proceed with the extra scope or limit the job to the original agreed work.
Are your plumbers properly licensed and insured?
All attending technicians hold current NSW plumbing licences (our business licence is 305428C). We carry Public Liability insurance (covering accidental property damage during work) and Workers Compensation insurance (covering workplace injuries). Police and background checks are completed on all technicians.
Do I need to be home for the assessment?
Yes, someone with authority to approve work needs to be present for the initial assessment and to accept the quote. If you can't be onsite, you can arrange for a tenant, property manager, or family member to provide access and approve the scope on your behalf.
What causes burst pipes in Condell Park properties?
Burst pipes in older Condell Park homes often result from corroded copper water mains, particularly in properties built before the 1980s. Tree root pressure on underground pipes is another common cause, especially near established gardens with large trees seeking moisture. Corrosion and root pressure both weaken the pipe until it fails under normal operating pressure.
Why do drains block more often in older Condell Park streets?
Many homes in Condell Park were built during the 1960s, 70s expansion and have original terracotta or clay sewer lines. These materials develop microscopic cracks over time, allowing tree roots to enter and expand inside the pipe. Once roots are established, they trap debris and cause recurring blockages until the line is cleared and the structural damage is repaired.
Can you provide quotes over the phone?
Phone quotes are unreliable because the scope can't be confirmed without seeing the affected area, checking access, and testing the system where relevant. We provide quotes onsite after assessing the fault, so the price reflects the actual work required and there are no surprises when the job is finished.
What's included in your Lifetime Labour Warranty?
Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the workmanship on all plumbing repairs and installations we complete. If a fault develops due to our workmanship, we return and fix it at no charge. The warranty does not cover general wear, damage caused by external factors, or manufacturer faults in parts (those are covered by separate manufacturer warranties).
