Plumbing FAQ's in Dean Park
We understand that hiring a plumber involves questions about pricing, timing, and what's involved in the work. The questions below cover the most common concerns we hear from Dean Park residents. If your question isn't answered here, our phone line is open 24/7 and we're happy to explain what's involved before you book.
Should I hire a skilled plumbing technician or attempt the repair myself?
Plumbing work in NSW must be performed by licensed professionals to comply with Australian Standards and insurance requirements. DIY plumbing can void warranties, create safety hazards, and make it difficult to pass building inspections. If you're unsure whether the issue requires a correctly licensed NSW plumber, a quick call is enough to confirm. We'll explain what's involved and help you decide on the right approach.
How much does plumbing work cost in Dean Park?
Plumbing costs depend on the scope of work, access conditions, parts required, and time onsite. We provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is confirmed on site, and that's the price you pay. There are no hidden fees added at the end, and the price is by the job, not by the hour. If you'd like an indication of what's involved, a brief call is enough to explain typical pricing factors. We'll confirm the exact price once we've assessed the job onsite.
What types of plumbing services do you provide in Dean Park?
We handle blocked drains, hot water system repairs and installations, leaking taps, roof and gutter leaks, shower repairs, toilet repairs, gas fitting, burst pipes, strata plumbing, general maintenance, emergency plumbing, and commercial plumbing. If you're unsure whether we cover the work you need, a quick call is enough to confirm. We'll explain what's involved and book the right technician for the job.
Do you provide onsite quotes or quote over the phone?
All jobs in the 2761 postcode need to be assessed onsite before we can provide an accurate fixed price quote. Providing quotes over the phone is risky without confirming the scope, access conditions, and existing pipework. We'll assess the job onsite, explain what's involved, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work. The quote is valid for one month, and there are no hidden fees added at the end.
What do licensed plumbers actually do?
Licensed plumbers install, repair, and maintain water supply systems, drainage systems, gas installations, and fixtures such as toilets, taps, and hot water systems. The work must comply with Australian Standards and local regulations, which is why it must be performed by licensed professionals. If you're unsure what's involved in a particular job, a quick call is enough to explain the process and what to expect.
How do I stop a toilet from running continuously?
A continuously running toilet usually indicates a worn flapper valve or faulty fill valve inside the cistern. While turning off the water supply at the isolation valve behind the toilet will stop the running temporarily, the underlying fault needs to be repaired to prevent water wastage. Toilet repairs are typically straightforward and can be completed on the first visit. A quick call is enough to schedule an assessment and confirm what's involved.
Can you repair a leaking shower?
Shower leaks are repairable, provided the waterproofing membrane and structural components are intact. The repair process involves locating the source of the leak, explaining what's causing it, and providing a fixed-price quote once the scope is clarified. If the waterproofing has failed, we'll explain the options and confirm the additional work before proceeding. Shower repairs must comply with Australian Standards, and we test the repair before leaving to verify it's effective.
