Plumbing FAQ's in Cremorne Point
We understand that hiring a plumber can feel uncertain, especially during an emergency. These questions reflect what Cremorne Point residents ask most often. If your question isn't answered here, call us and we'll explain what's involved.
Should I attempt DIY plumbing repairs or hire a professional?
Plumbing work in NSW must be performed by licensed plumbers to comply with building codes and insurance requirements. DIY repairs can void warranties, fail compliance inspections, and create safety risks if water or gas systems are involved incorrectly. For any work beyond basic tap washer replacement, hire a fully licensed plumbing technician to ensure the job is done safely and legally.
How much does plumbing work typically cost in Cremorne Point?
Plumbing costs depend on the job scope, access, and parts required. We provide a fixed-price quote once the fault is assessed onsite, so you can decide before work starts. The price quoted is the price paid, with no hidden fees added later. Emergency callouts are priced the same way, with no after-hours surcharges.
What plumbing services do you provide in Cremorne Point?
We handle blocked drains, hot water system installations and repairs, gas fitting, broken pipe repairs, leaking taps, toilet and shower repairs, roof and gutter leak repairs, strata plumbing, and emergency callouts. All work is performed by NSW licensed plumbers and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.
Do you provide quotes over the phone or do you need to visit?
Most plumbing jobs require onsite assessment to confirm the fault, access requirements, and repair scope. Providing accurate quotes over the phone is not possible without seeing the affected area. We come to your property, assess the issue, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work.
What does a licensed, insured plumber actually do?
Licensed plumbers install, repair, and maintain water supply systems, drainage systems, gas appliances, and fixtures in commercial and residential properties. This includes diagnosing faults, replacing damaged components, testing systems for leaks and compliance, and issuing certificates where required by regulation.
How do I stop a toilet from running continuously?
A running toilet usually indicates a faulty flush valve or fill valve inside the cistern. You can try isolating the water supply at the tap behind the toilet as a temporary measure, but the fault needs professional repair. Toilet repairs are typically straightforward and completed during a single visit once the faulty component is identified.
Can you repair a leaking shower without replacing the whole unit?
Most shower leaks can be repaired by replacing worn washers, O-rings, or cartridge valves inside the mixer tap. If the leak is from the shower base or tiles, it may involve failed waterproofing, which requires more extensive work. We assess the fault onsite and explain the repair options before quoting.
Do you service the entire Cremorne Point area?
Yes, we service all of Cremorne Point (postcode 2090) and the surrounding North Shore region. We dispatch from local hubs across the area, with urgent jobs sent out first. Our service radius extends up to 60km from base locations for emergency callouts.
Can you clear blocked drains in Cremorne Point properties?
Yes, we specialise in drain blockage unblocking using high-definition CCTV cameras to locate the blockage and high-pressure water jetting to clear it. If the blockage is caused by tree roots or structural damage, we explain the options (such as pipe relining or excavation) and confirm scope before proceeding.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Cremorne Point?
Urgent jobs are dispatched immediately, with technicians allocated from the nearest available hub. We provide an ETA when you book and keep you informed if traffic or current workload affects arrival timing. For active leaks, gas smells, or sewer backups, call us now and we'll confirm the response time.
