Plumbing FAQ's in Leets Vale
Plumbing problems are rarely convenient, and it is normal to want clear answers before booking. These are practical questions we hear from Leets Vale locals, answered in plain English so you can understand what happens next, what affects the price, and how urgent the situation may be.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing, drainage and gas work, hiring a fully licensed NSW plumber is the safer option when there is a leak, blockage, hot water failure, or any gas concern. Licensed work helps ensure the repair is completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements. It also reduces the risk of hidden damage being missed and becoming more expensive later.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs depend on what is actually found onsite, because access, parts required, and the extent of damage can vary between properties. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and you receive a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. That makes the cost clear before you decide to proceed.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including Leets Vale. Typical work includes blocked drains, leak detection, burst pipe repairs, toilet and tap repairs, hot water repairs and installations, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. If the first inspection shows a larger underlying issue, options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed onsite.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is the reliable way to quote because many issues cannot be priced accurately from a description alone. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms access and the affected area, then provides a fixed price quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. When booking from Leets Vale, confirm call-out details because no call-out fee applies in many service areas, but it varies by suburb.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs and maintains water, drainage and related fixtures in homes and businesses, including toilets, taps, showers, pipes and waste lines. In NSW, gas fitting and drainage work must be completed by appropriately licensed technicians. Fixed Today Plumbing is correctly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and attending technicians are properly licensed plumbers in NSW.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running usually has an internal valve or seal that is not closing properly, and it can waste a lot of water over time. The safest next step is to book a licensed and adequately insured plumber (NSW) to inspect and confirm the cause, because the fix depends on the cistern style and parts fitted. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote after confirming the scope onsite.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed because the visible drip is not always the main problem, water can travel behind walls or under floors before it shows up. Fixed Today Plumbing checks whether the leak is from the fitting, mixer, pipework, or the waste line, then quotes the repair once the source is confirmed. If there is active water damage, it should be treated as urgent.
Do you service the entire Leets Vale area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Leets Vale as part of all Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergency calls, the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs. For urgent work, immediate dispatch applies and the nearest available licensed technician is allocated from local dispatch points across Sydney, with ETA updates where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also handles structural pipe repair when inspection shows damage. Clearing typically involves locating the restriction, then using the most suitable method for the pipework. If a camera inspection shows roots, collapse, or a damaged section, the repair options are explained and priced once the scope is finalised, before any further work proceeds.
