Plumbing FAQ's in Girraween
Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what will happen next, how pricing is handled, and how quickly a licensed plumbing specialist can attend. These are practical questions we hear from Girraween customers, especially for urgent leaks, blocked drains, and hot water failures. If your situation is unclear, a call is enough to arrange an assessment and get an ETA update where possible.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing, drainage, and any gas-related work, using a NSW-licensed and insured plumber is the safer option because the work needs to meet safety and compliance requirements. A professional assessment also avoids replacing parts that are not the real cause. Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, upfront pricing after confirming scope onsite, so you can decide once you know what the job involves.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of the fault, access to the affected pipework, parts required, and whether it is an emergency callout. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid. If you are booking in Girraween, ask whether a call-out fee applies for your address.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water systems, leaking taps, roof and gutter leaks, and gas fitting. The right approach depends on what is affected and whether the issue is isolated to one fixture or part of a larger system fault, which is confirmed during the onsite assessment.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is used to confirm the cause, access, and scope before a fixed-price quote is issued. Pricing over the phone can be unreliable without seeing the pipework, fixtures, and any access limits. Fixed Today Plumbing provides the quote before work starts, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued so you have time to review the scope.
What do plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses. That includes diagnosing leaks, repairing ruptured pipes, clearing drains, and installing hot water systems. In NSW, gas work must be completed by a NSW-licensed gas fitter. Fixed Today Plumbing attends with fully licensed plumbers in NSW and completes work to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal valve or seal, and it can waste a surprising amount of water. The most reliable step is to arrange an assessment so the correct internal parts can be identified and replaced. Fixed Today Plumbing can repair or replace toilet components with fixed, clear pricing once the toilet type and fault are confirmed onsite.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be more than a dripping head because water can travel behind tiles or under floors. If you are seeing water outside the shower area or signs of damp, it is worth booking an inspection promptly to reduce damage. Fixed Today Plumbing assesses the source and provides a fixed-price quote once access and the affected fittings are confirmed.
Do you service the entire Girraween area?
Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, and Girraween is within that service footprint. Jobs are allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, which helps with same-day availability for standard enquiries and immediate dispatch for emergencies. Attendance timing still depends on current bookings, access, and traffic, and ETA updates are provided where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using equipment such as high-definition CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure water jetting. The camera inspection helps confirm whether the issue is a simple obstruction or a structural fault. If structural damage is found, repair options such as structural pipe repair or no-dig relining are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed technician is allocated from Sydney dispatch points. For standard work, same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. An ETA is provided during booking, and updates are shared where possible if conditions change.
