Plumbing FAQ's in Kenthurst
Plumbing emergencies are usually time-sensitive, and it is normal to want clear answers before committing. These are common questions we hear from Kenthurst locals, especially about arrival timing, safety, and pricing. If your situation is urgent, book the assessment first and we will confirm the cause onsite and provide fixed, upfront pricing before work starts.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
You should hire a correctly licensed plumbing technician (NSW) for faults that involve active leaks, sewer overflow, no hot water, or any gas concern, because the risk of damage or safety issues is high. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed and fully insured plumbers in NSW, and the job is assessed onsite before work starts. If it is minor, you can decide after the scope is finalised and the fixed-price quote is provided.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on scope, access, parts required, and whether the job is urgent after-hours or a standard booking. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts once the problem is assessed. If additional issues are found, options are explained and quoted after confirmation.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, pipe relining, hot water unit work, and licensed gas fitting. The right fix depends on what inspection shows onsite, because symptoms can be misleading. Once the scope is clarified, a flat-rate quote is provided before any repair or installation begins.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, jobs in Kenthurst are typically quoted after an onsite assessment, because access, pipe layout, and the actual fault location affect both the approach and the fixed price. Phone descriptions help with booking the right person, but they cannot reliably confirm scope. After inspection, Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, upfront pricing before work starts.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses, including fixtures, pipework, and connected appliances. In an emergency, the first priority is making the situation safe and preventing damage, then confirming the cause. Fixed Today Plumbing completes work to applicable Australian Standards and verifies function before leaving where practical.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty inlet valve, outlet seal, or internal cistern component that no longer closes properly. If the toilet will not stop running or you notice overflow risk, book a plumber so it can be diagnosed and repaired correctly. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms whether it is a simple cistern repair or part of a broader issue before quoting.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly because ongoing moisture can cause hidden damage behind tiles, in walls, or under flooring. The visible drip is not always the only leak point, so inspection matters. Fixed Today Plumbing checks the fittings and leak source onsite, then provides a flat-rate quote before starting work. If waterproofing issues are suspected, options are explained after assessment.
Do you service the entire Kenthurst area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Kenthurst as part of our Sydney metropolitan coverage, including the Hills District. Availability depends on current bookings and whether the work is an emergency or a standard enquiry, but urgent jobs are allocated first. When you book, we confirm access details and provide ETA updates where possible so arrival is predictable.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using camera inspection equipment for diagnostics and high-pressure water jetting where suitable. Clearing the blockage is only part of the job, because the cause affects whether it will re-block. After inspection, we explain what was found and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work. If pipe damage is present, repair options are discussed once scope is established.
How fast can you come?
For emergency plumbing in Kenthurst, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies, meaning urgent jobs are allocated first and the nearest available technician is sent from localised dispatch points across Sydney. Exact arrival timing depends on current work and traffic conditions, but we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, once the booking is confirmed.
