Plumbing FAQ's in Eveleigh
These are the most common questions Eveleigh residents ask when booking a plumber. If your question isn't covered here, call 1800 349 338 and we'll answer it directly.
Should I try to fix a plumbing issue myself or hire a fully licensed NSW plumber?
Unlicensed plumbing work can void warranties, create safety risks (particularly with gas or hot water systems), and cause compliance issues during building inspections. For anything beyond basic maintenance (such as clearing a sink trap), it's safer and more cost-effective to hire a fully licensed NSW plumber (NSW) who can complete the work to meet Australian Standards and provide documentation where required.
How much does a plumber cost in Eveleigh?
Plumbing costs vary based on the scope of work, access constraints, and whether parts are needed. We provide a fixed price quote after assessing the job onsite, so you know the full cost before work starts. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden fees. For customers mentioning "web55," we offer $55 off (limited to one per person on paying jobs).
What plumbing services do you provide in Eveleigh?
We cover blocked drains, broken pipes, water heater installations and repairs, leaking taps, roof and gutter leaks, shower and toilet repairs, gas fitting, leak detection, and general maintenance. All work is completed by fully licensed NSW plumbers (Licence 305428C) and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.
Do you provide quotes over the phone or do you need to visit?
Most jobs require an onsite assessment to confirm scope, access, and the condition of existing pipework. Providing accurate pricing over the phone is difficult without seeing the affected area. We provide a fixed price quote after the assessment, and you can decide whether to proceed once the price is confirmed. The assessment fee (if applicable) is typically absorbed into the job cost if you proceed.
What does a plumber actually do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water supply systems, drainage, gas appliances, and fixtures such as taps, toilets, showers, and hot water systems. Licensed plumbers are trained to work safely with pressurised water, gas, and wastewater systems, and all work must comply with Australian Standards and local regulations.
How do I stop my toilet from running constantly?
A toilet that keeps running after flushing usually has a faulty flapper valve or fill valve inside the cistern. Turning off the water supply at the isolation valve (typically located behind or beside the toilet) will stop the flow temporarily, but the internal mechanism will need to be repaired or replaced to resolve the issue permanently. Call us and we'll assess the cistern and replace the worn components.
My shower is leaking, can you fix it?
Shower leaks can occur at the showerhead (usually a worn washer or cartridge), behind tiles (a concealed pipe leak), or at the waste connection. We diagnose the fault using visual inspection, pressure testing, and moisture detection equipment, then provide a flat-rate quote for the repair. Most shower repairs are straightforward and completed the same day.
Do you service the entire Eveleigh area?
Yes. We service all of Eveleigh (postcode 2015) and the surrounding Inner West suburbs. We also travel up to 60km from our base hubs for emergency calls. Same-day service is available for most standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Call to confirm current availability.
Can you unblock drains in Eveleigh?
We clear blocked drains using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) and mechanical augering. For recurring blockages or if the cause isn't obvious, we use high-definition CCTV inspection equipment to inspect the line and identify the obstruction (such as tree roots, collapsed pipe sections, or grease buildup). Once the blockage is cleared, we test flow and explain any underlying issues that may need attention.
How quickly can you get to Eveleigh for an emergency?
We dispatch from local hubs including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse. Urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, but we aim to reach Eveleigh within standard response windows. Where possible, we provide ETA updates when you book. Call 1800 349 338 to confirm current availability.
