Emergency Plumber Leichhardt

Plumbing FAQ's in Leichhardt

Emergency plumbing decisions are usually about risk, cost clarity, and how quickly a NSW-licensed plumber can attend. These FAQs explain what Fixed Today Plumbing can do in Leichhardt, what affects the price, and what to expect on arrival. If you are unsure how urgent your situation is, a short phone call is enough for us to allocate the right technician and confirm next steps.

Should I hire a professional or do it myself?

For anything involving gas, a sewer overflow, or an active leak, a correctly licensed NSW plumber is the safer option because the risk is property damage or a safety hazard. Fixed Today Plumbing uses an onsite assessment to confirm the cause, then provides fixed, transparent pricing before work begins. If the inspection shows a larger issue than expected, options are explained and re-quoted once scope is finalised.

How much does plumbing cost in Leichhardt?

Plumbing cost depends on what is found onsite, including access, the location of the fault, parts required, and whether the job is urgent after-hours work. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a clear quote once the scope is agreed. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.

What emergency plumbing work can you do in Leichhardt?

Fixed Today Plumbing handles common urgent work in Leichhardt such as blocked drains, ruptured pipes, toilet overflows, hot water failures, and gas leak testing and repair. The boundary is always the same: the fault needs to be confirmed onsite before a fixed price can be given. Once diagnosed and quoted, the repair is completed and then tested before the plumber leaves.

Do you come to our house to quote?

Yes, onsite assessment is how scope is established for an accurate quote, especially for leaks, blockages, and any work where the cause is not visible. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a flat-rate quote before we start, with no hidden costs. No call-out fee applies for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm the call-out fee status for Leichhardt when booking.

Are your plumbers licensed and insured for Leichhardt jobs?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are properly licensed plumbers in NSW. The business is fully insured, with up-to-date insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability relates to accidental property damage during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries while the plumber is onsite.

My toilet keeps running, is it urgent?

A running toilet is not always an emergency, but it can waste a lot of water and sometimes indicates a faulty inlet or internal seal that can worsen. If the toilet is overflowing, not flushing, or causing water damage, treat it as urgent and arrange a plumber to attend. Once the cause is confirmed onsite, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before proceeding.

What causes shower leaks in older bathrooms?

Shower leaks can come from failed seals and fittings, damaged pipework behind the wall, or issues that only show up under regular use. In older bathrooms, water can track into adjacent areas and become visible elsewhere, which makes on-site inspection important. Fixed Today Plumbing can locate the leak source and quote a fixed price once the scope is clarified.

Do you service the entire Leichhardt area?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Leichhardt and all Sydney metropolitan regions, including emergency and standard work. Immediate dispatch is used for emergencies, and same day service is available for all regular plumbing and gas enquiries. If the property has strata access windows for entry or restricted parking, mention it when booking so arrival and setup can be planned around those constraints.

Are you able to unblock drains?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains by locating the restriction and using the least disruptive method suitable for the pipework. High-pressure water jetting and CCTV CCTV inspection are commonly used, but the right method depends on what the blockage is and how accessible the line is. If inspection shows structural pipe damage, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.

How fast can you come to Leichhardt for an emergency?

Fixed Today Plumbing offers immediate dispatch for emergencies, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. An ETA is provided when booking, with updates where possible, but timing can change with traffic and existing emergency calls. The plumber will confirm identity on arrival before entry.
