What counts as a plumbing emergency in Elizabeth Bay?
A plumbing emergency usually means there is an active leak, sewage overflow, loss of essential services, or a gas-related safety risk at a property in Elizabeth Bay. These issues can cause rapid damage or create unsafe conditions. Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies, and the attending technician will confirm what has failed onsite before quoting the repair.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency plumbing in Elizabeth Bay NSW 2011?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing services for domestic and commercial clients across Sydney, including Elizabeth Bay 2011. Emergency requests receive immediate dispatch, while same day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Availability and arrival timing depend on current bookings, access arrangements, and traffic conditions.
How does immediate dispatch work, and will I receive an ETA?
Immediate dispatch means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed service technician is allocated from our local dispatch hubs across Sydney. When booking, we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. Arrival timing can vary with traffic and the nature of the emergency, so an ETA is confirmed at the time of scheduling.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Elizabeth Bay?
No call-out fee applies in many service areas (check specific suburb pages). Because call-out status can vary by address and timing, it is best to confirm the call-out fee status when you book for Elizabeth Bay. Regardless of call-out status, you will receive a fixed-price quote before starting work, after the on-site inspection confirms the scope.
How is emergency plumbing priced if you do not charge by the hour?
Emergency work is priced with fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). The attending technician assesses the fault, confirms the scope, and then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. The final price depends on access, what parts are needed, and the complexity of the repair, not on time spent.
Do you need to inspect onsite before giving a quote in Elizabeth Bay?
Yes, an onsite inspection is usually needed to quote accurately in Elizabeth Bay, especially for leaks, drainage, and hot water faults where the cause may be hidden. Providing quotes over the phone can be unreliable without seeing access points and confirming what has failed. Fixed Today Plumbing completes a detailed onsite assessment first, then provides upfront pricing before work begins.
Can you work in apartments and strata buildings around Elizabeth Bay?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can work in strata and apartment environments, including coordinating access with tenants, property managers, or strata where needed. In apartment blocks, the scope can depend on shared services, access to risers, or permission to enter service areas. We confirm access requirements onsite, then provide a fixed-price quote once the responsibility boundary is clear.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured, and what does that mean for me?
Fixed Today Plumbing is properly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW. The business is fully insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability insurance helps if accidental damage occurs during the work. Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.
What equipment is used for blocked drains and leak detection?
Fixed Today Plumbing uses latest technology including drain inspection cameras and high-pressure jetters for drainage work, and electronic ultrasonic leak detection for hidden bursts when required. The goal is to confirm the cause before choosing a repair method. If the inspection shows a simple blockage, it can usually be cleared. If structural damage is found, repair options are explained and quoted.
What warranty applies to emergency plumbing repairs?
Emergency repairs completed by Fixed Today Plumbing are backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. This warranty relates to the labour and the quality of the work completed. Any hardware or appliances supplied and installed are covered by standard manufacturer warranties on all hardware and appliances. If the job needs staged work due to access or approvals, the scope is finalised at each stage.
