Plumbing FAQ's in Heckenberg
These answers cover common plumbing questions we hear from people in Heckenberg 2168, including emergencies, quoting, and what affects the cost. Each job is assessed onsite because access, pipe condition, and the exact fault change what is required. If you are unsure how urgent your situation is, a short call can confirm the next step and organise the right licensed trade technician.
Should I hire a experienced plumbing technician or try to fix it myself?
For anything involving gas, drainage, or hidden leaks, a licensed, insured plumber is the safer option because the risk is property damage and non-compliant work. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are insured and licensed plumbers in NSW. Simple, visible issues can still hide bigger faults, so an onsite inspection is the safest decision point.
How much will a plumber cost in Heckenberg?
The cost depends on the scope confirmed onsite, including access, the extent of the fault, parts required, and whether it is after-hours or urgent. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. You can decide once the scope and price are clear.
What plumbing services do you provide in Heckenberg 2168?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting services in Heckenberg, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water system work, leaking taps, toilets, showers, roof and gutter leaks, and leak testing. The right fix depends on what the onsite assessment shows, and if diagnostics reveal a larger issue, options are explained and quoted once scope is established.
Do you come out to diagnose the problem before giving a price?
Yes, pricing is provided after an onsite diagnosis because accurate quoting depends on what is found at the property. Fixed Today Plumbing completes a detailed assessment using specialised diagnostic tools where needed, then provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. If the job changes after inspection, the scope is explained in plain English and the quote is updated before proceeding.
What does a plumber do during the first visit?
A first visit usually focuses on confirming the cause and the location of the issue, not guessing. Fixed Today Plumbing checks the affected fixtures, looks for signs of leaks or drainage restrictions, and uses tools such as CCTV inspection equipment or leak detection equipment where appropriate. Once the scope is confirmed, you receive a fixed price quote before any repair or installation begins.
My toilet keeps running, is that urgent?
A constantly running toilet is not always an emergency, but it can waste significant water and it can indicate a failing cistern component. If water is overflowing or leaking onto floors, arrange urgent attendance because water damage can spread quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess whether the fault is inside the cistern or related to drainage, then provide a fixed-price quote once the cause is confirmed.
The shower is leaking, should I stop using it?
If the leak is causing water to escape outside the shower area or you can see water damage spreading, it is sensible to stop using it and arrange an assessment. Ongoing moisture can damage flooring, wall linings, and cabinets. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms whether the issue is tapware, seals, drainage, or another source, then quotes the repair once scope is clear.

Can you unblock drains in Heckenberg?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and carries out sewer repairs in Heckenberg, using CCTV inspection equipment for diagnostics and high-pressure water jetting for clearing where suitable. This approach helps confirm whether the blockage is a one-off restriction or a sign of pipe damage.
