Plumbing FAQ's in Horsley Park
These are common questions we receive from Horsley Park 2175 customers who need urgent plumbing help and want clarity on arrival, cost, and what happens next. Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing support, and we can confirm urgency and booking details by phone without asking you to diagnose the fault. If you have a safety concern such as gas, it is safer to arrange an assessment straight away.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Yes, for emergencies it is safer to hire a licensed, insured plumber in Horsley Park. DIY plumbing can create safety risks, cause water damage, and for regulated work (especially gas) it can also create compliance issues later. If the problem is active or worsening, the practical next step is an onsite inspection so the scope is agreed and a fixed-price quote can be provided before work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the fault, and the parts required, especially in urgent after-hours situations. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a clear quote after the problem is assessed onsite. If inspection shows extra work is required, the options and updated price are explained before proceeding.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including drainage, hot water, gas fitting, and leak repairs. This covers common urgent work such as ruptured pipes, blocked drains, hot water faults, toilets, and taps. Where the job is regulated, the work is completed to applicable Australian Standards and documented where required.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Horsley Park jobs are typically quoted after an onsite assessment, because phone-only quoting can miss access limits or hidden damage. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the affected area and what is required, then provides a fixed-price quote before we begin. Quotes are good for 30 days from the date issued, and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers repair and install water, drainage, and gas systems so fixtures work safely and correctly. This includes toilets, showers, taps, hot water systems, drains, and pipework. In an emergency, the first priority is usually to stop damage and make the area safe, then confirm what failed and complete a repair that can be tested before the plumber leaves.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually means an internal valve or seal is not shutting off properly, so water keeps flowing into the pan. A licensed plumbing specialist can confirm the cause quickly and repair or replace the faulty parts. If the toilet is overflowing or backing up, avoid using it and arrange an urgent visit, because continued use can worsen flooding and hygiene risks.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by worn tap internals, a faulty shower head, or a leak behind the wall that is tracking to a visible point. An onsite inspection is the safest way to confirm the source before repairs are quoted. If water is spreading into adjacent rooms or ceilings, treat it as urgent and arrange immediate assessment to limit property damage.
Do you service the entire Horsley Park area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Horsley Park 2175 and all Sydney metropolitan regions, including South West Sydney. For emergencies, we have capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs, and Horsley Park bookings are typically allocated from our West Sydney coverage. If access is time-sensitive, tell us when booking so we can plan accordingly.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and manages sewer repairs, including CCTV inspections and high-pressure water jetting where suitable. The key is confirming what caused the blockage, because grease build-up, foreign objects, and root intrusion can require different methods. If inspection shows damaged pipework rather than a simple blockage, the repair options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed.
How fast can you come?
For Horsley Park emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available duly licensed technician is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points. Arrival time depends on existing jobs, traffic, and access details, so we provide clear arrival communication and ETA updates where possible. Same-day service is also available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
