Plumbing FAQ's in Hammondville
These answers cover common emergency and general plumbing questions we hear from Hammondville 2170 customers. Each property is a little different, so the safest approach is to book an onsite assessment, confirm the scope, then decide based on a flat-rate quote.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In plumbing, using a licensed professional is the safer option when the issue involves leaks, sewer drainage, or any gas work. DIY repairs can create water damage, safety risks, or problems with compliance later. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW technicians to Hammondville, and the scope is clarified onsite before a fixed-price quote is provided.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs in Hammondville depend on what is found onsite, because access, parts required, and urgency can change the scope quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you can see the total price once the work is diagnosed. Ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies for your address.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing offers domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney including Hammondville, covering blocked drains, hot water supply systems, leak repair, burst pipes, and licensed gas fitting. Availability includes 24/7 emergency support. The exact approach depends on what inspection shows onsite, and any additional work is only quoted once the scope is established.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is normally required to quote accurately because the cause and access are not always visible from photos or a description. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the impacted area and what needs to be done, then provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. If inspection reveals extra faults, options are explained and priced separately once agreed.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, and outdoor areas, and licensed plumbers can also perform regulated work like gas fitting where qualified. Fixed Today Plumbing is correctly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and attending technicians are licensed and insured plumbers in NSW. Work is completed to applicable Australian Standards.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet usually needs a repair inside the cistern, because worn valves and seals can keep refilling without fully shutting off. It is best to book a plumber rather than trying to force parts to fit, as the wrong fix can cause a leak or overflow. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet in Hammondville and quote once the fault is confirmed.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed early, because water can damage wall linings, cabinetry, and floors even when the leak looks minor. The cause might be the plumbing connection, the mixer, or a leak behind finishes, and that is only clear after inspection. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Hammondville, confirm the source, then provide fixed-price options based on access.
Do you service the entire Hammondville area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Hammondville 2170 in South West Sydney. We dispatch from local dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse, which helps allocate the nearest available technician. Exact arrival timing depends on current jobs, traffic, and access at the property.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using diagnostic and clearing methods suited to the line, including CCTV inspection and high-pressure water jetting. This usually resolves common household blockages in accessible drains. If inspection shows structural damage, the repair options are explained and priced once the scope is agreed, so you are not agreeing to unknown work.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers immediate dispatch for emergencies in Hammondville, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available properly licensed technician is allocated. The exact arrival time varies with current bookings and road conditions, but ETA updates are provided where possible. If the issue involves an active leak or gas concern, explain that on the phone so urgency can be handled correctly.
