Plumbing FAQs in Flemington
Plumbing problems are disruptive, especially when you are trying to work out whether it is urgent and what it will cost. These are common questions we hear from Flemington locals. If your situation is different, call and we can help you book the right licensed trade technician and confirm what happens next.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergency plumbing in Flemington, a properly fully licensed plumber is usually the safer option because water, gas, and drainage work can create property damage or safety risks if handled incorrectly. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting. If it is urgent, we can arrange immediate dispatch and confirm the safest next step once the situation is assessed onsite.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the problem area, and whether parts or specialised equipment are required. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. If the inspection finds a larger issue than expected, options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed onsite.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Flemington and across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, pipe lining, CCTV inspections, hot water unit work, gas leak detection, and broken pipe repairs. The right approach depends on what is found onsite, so the starting point is an assessment to confirm the cause before quoting.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing assesses jobs onsite in Flemington because accurate pricing depends on seeing the fault, confirming access, and checking what is affected. After diagnosis, we provide a fixed-price quote with no surprise charges before starting work. If the issue is urgent, the assessment is still done first, but it is prioritised so action can be taken quickly once approved.
What do plumbers do during an emergency visit?
During an emergency visit in Flemington, the priority is making the situation safe and stopping damage, then confirming the cause so the repair is effective. A licensed plumber (NSW) typically checks the affected fixture or line, uses appropriate diagnostic equipment where needed, and explains the findings in plain English. Fixed Today Plumbing then provides fixed, clear pricing before starting the repair.
My toilet keeps running, is it urgent?
A running toilet is not always an emergency, but it can waste a lot of water and sometimes indicates a fault that can worsen. If water is overflowing, leaking at the base, or backing up, stop using the toilet and book a plumber. For Flemington jobs, Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet, confirm the cause, and quote the repair once the scope is clear.
My shower is leaking, what should I do while waiting?
A leaking shower can cause hidden water damage, so it is worth booking an inspection rather than waiting for the problem to become visible. If there is active flooding, move items away from the wet area and arrange urgent attendance. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the shower leak onsite in Flemington, explain whether it is a plumbing repair, and quote a fixed price before starting work.
Do you service the entire Flemington area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services Flemington NSW 2140 as part of our Sydney metropolitan coverage, including the Inner West. For emergencies, we use localised dispatch points across Sydney to send the nearest available technician. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, and ETA updates are provided where possible once a technician is allocated.
Can you clear blocked drains in Flemington?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Flemington using high-definition CCTV drain cameras to locate the problem and high-pressure water jetting where suitable to remove debris. This works for many common blockages in accessible lines. If the inspection shows damaged pipework or a collapsed section, we explain the repair options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.

Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies in Flemington, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available duly licensed technician is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points.
