Plumbing FAQ's in Constitution Hill
The process of hiring a plumber can be stressful, especially in an emergency. Below are answers to the questions Constitution Hill residents ask most frequently. If your question isn't covered, our phone line is always open.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
DIY plumbing can void your home warranty, fail building inspections, and create safety risks including gas leaks or water damage. Licensed plumbers are trained to work to Australian Standards and carry insurance that protects you if accidental property damage occurs. It's always advised to hire a professional Constitution Hill plumber for any plumbing, drainage, or gas work.
How much does plumbing cost in Constitution Hill?
Plumbing costs depend on scope, access, parts, and time on site. We provide a fixed-price quote before work starts, based on confirmed scope, so you know the cost upfront and can decide once pricing is clear. The price is by the job, not by the hour. When booking, confirm the call-out fee status for your specific job to avoid surprises.
What type of plumbing services do you provide?
We provide blocked drains, hot water system repairs and installations, leaking tap repairs, roof and gutter leak repairs, shower repairs, toilet repairs, gas fitting, burst pipe repairs, strata plumbing, and general plumbing services. All work is completed by licensed plumbers to Australian Standards and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.
Do you come to Constitution Hill to quote onsite?
Yes, all jobs in the 2145 postcode need to be personally assessed. Providing accurate quotes over the phone is impossible without confirming the affected area, access, and existing pipework. We assess the situation onsite, explain the scope in plain English, and provide a fixed-price quote before any work proceeds.
What do plumbers do?
Plumbers are licensed tradespeople who install, repair, and maintain piping systems for water supply, drainage, and gas. This includes toilets, showers, sinks, hot water systems, sewer lines, gas appliances, and drainage systems. In NSW, all plumbing, drainage, and gas work must be performed by licensed professionals to ensure safety and compliance.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A continuously running toilet typically indicates a faulty cistern component such as a worn flapper valve or faulty fill valve. Turning off the water at the tap behind the toilet will stop the flow temporarily, but the underlying fault needs to be repaired by a licensed, insured plumber to prevent water wastage and avoid damage to cistern components.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
Shower leaks often result from worn seals, damaged grout, or faulty mixer valves. A licensed and insured plumbing technician can diagnose the cause onsite, confirm whether repair or replacement is needed, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting. Most shower repairs are straightforward and can be completed on the first visit.

Are you able to unblock drains in Constitution Hill?
Yes, we specialise in clearing blocked drains using high-definition CCTV drain cameras to locate the restriction, followed by high-pressure water jetting to remove debris and restore flow. If inspection shows structural damage, the options are explained and scope is confirmed before any additional work proceeds.
