Plumbing FAQ's in Elouera
Common questions from Elouera residents about our plumbing services, pricing, and response times. If your question isn't answered below, call us on 1800 349 338 for immediate assistance.
Do you charge a call-out fee for Elouera properties?
Call-out fee policies vary by service area. Confirm the call-out fee status when booking your appointment. Many areas across Sydney have no call-out fee, but it's worth checking for your specific location. Once onsite, the call-out fee (if applicable) is explained before any assessment begins, and the fixed-fee quote is provided once scope is confirmed.
How quickly can a plumber reach Elouera in an emergency?
Urgent jobs are dispatched immediately from our West Sydney hub, and we provide an ETA when you book. Arrival timing depends on current job status and traffic conditions. For safety-critical situations like gas leaks or active water damage, we prioritise dispatch to minimise risk and property damage. Same-day service is available for standard plumbing enquiries.
What does your fixed-price guarantee actually mean?
The fixed-price guarantee means the price quoted after on-site inspection is the price you pay, with no hidden fees or hourly rate surprises. We confirm scope, provide a written quote, and you decide whether to proceed. If the scope changes during work (for example, inspection reveals additional damage), we explain the options and confirm pricing before proceeding with any extra work.
How do I know if I need a plumber or if I can fix it myself?
If the issue involves water supply lines, drainage, gas, or compliance with Australian Standards, it requires a correctly licensed plumbing technician. DIY plumbing can void warranties, fail building inspections, and create safety risks. If you're unsure, a brief call can confirm whether the issue needs professional attention or if it's something you can safely handle yourself.
What's included in your Lifetime Labour Warranty?
Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the workmanship of the installation or repair for as long as you own the property. It does not cover manufacturer defects in parts or damage caused by misuse, neglect, or subsequent alterations by others. Standard manufacturer warranties apply to all hardware and appliances we install.
Do your plumbers work on weekends and public holidays?
Yes. We operate 24/7, 365 days a year, including weekends and public holidays. Emergency dispatch is available around the clock for urgent situations. For non-urgent work, we can schedule appointments at a time that suits your availability, including evenings and weekends.
What should I do immediately if I have a ruptured pipe?
Turn off the water supply at the mains to stop further flooding, move valuables away from the affected area, and contact us immediately for emergency dispatch. Do not attempt to repair the pipe yourself. Our emergency plumbers will isolate the leak, assess the damage, and provide a fixed quote for repair or replacement once the immediate risk is controlled.
How do you determine what's causing a drain blockage?
We use a high-definition CCTV drain camera to visually inspect the line and identify the blockage type, depth, and location. This allows us to recommend the appropriate clearing method (high-pressure jetting, mechanical clearing, or drain relining if structural damage is present) and provide accurate pricing based on what's actually required, not guesswork.
Can you provide documentation for strata or rental properties?
Yes. We provide detailed invoices, receipts, and job documentation suitable for landlords, agents, strata managers, and business records. Where required by regulation (for example, gas compliance certificates or backflow prevention testing), we issue the appropriate required documentation upon completion.
