Plumbing FAQ's in Lilyfield
Plumbing emergencies can make it hard to know what to do next, especially when you are worried about damage or surprise costs. This Lilyfield FAQ explains what usually happens, what affects pricing, and how booking works. If your situation is not covered below, call 1800 349 338 and we will book the right licensed technician and confirm the next step after an onsite assessment.
Should I hire a experienced plumbing technician or try to fix it myself?
You should book a NSW-properly licensed plumber for emergencies, gas work, drainage problems, or any leak that is causing property damage. Plumbing faults can worsen quickly, and unlicensed work can create safety risks or compliance issues. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite first, then provides a fixed-price quote before repairs start, so you can make a clear decision.
How much does an emergency plumber cost in Lilyfield?
The cost depends on what is found during the onsite assessment, because access, parts required, and the extent of damage change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm the call-out fee status when booking from Lilyfield.
What kinds of emergency plumbing jobs do you handle?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles common emergency work such as blocked drains, broken pipes, hot water faults, toilet issues causing overflow or leaks, roof drainage leaks, and gas leak detection and repairs. The exact fix depends on what the inspection shows on the day. Once the scope is agreed onsite, you receive an upfront flat-rate quote before any work proceeds.
Do you need to come onsite to give a quote in Lilyfield?
Yes, an accurate quote is usually provided after an onsite inspection in Lilyfield, because visible symptoms do not always show the real cause. The technician checks access, identifies where the fault is occurring, and confirms what needs to be repaired. You then receive an upfront fixed-price quote before work starts, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
Are your plumbers licensed and comprehensively insured in NSW?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing is Fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting (NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C), and all attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW. The business is fully insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation), which helps protect you if accidental property damage occurs during work.
My toilet is running or overflowing, should I stop using it?
Yes, stop using the toilet and book a properly licensed, insured plumber if it will not stop running, is overflowing, or is leaking onto the floor. Those signs can indicate a failed valve, a blockage, or a drainage issue that may worsen with continued use. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm the cause onsite and provide an upfront fixed price quote before repairs start.
My shower is leaking, is it urgent?
A shower leak is urgent when it is actively dripping into other rooms, causing ceiling stains, or soaking floors, because ongoing moisture can damage wet-area linings and finishes. The repair approach depends on where the leak is coming from and what is accessible. Fixed Today Plumbing inspects first, explains the likely cause in plain English, then provides a fixed-price quote before work begins.
Do you service all of Lilyfield and nearby Inner West suburbs?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Lilyfield and the wider Inner West. The business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, and same-day service is available for all general plumbing and gas enquiries. Availability still depends on current bookings and safe access at the property.
Can you unblock my drains today?
Often, yes, blocked drains can be cleared on the first visit, but it depends on access and what the inspection finds. Fixed Today Plumbing uses CCTV check equipment and high-pressure jetting to locate and remove many common obstructions. If the camera shows structural pipe damage, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is verified.
How fast can an emergency plumber get to Lilyfield?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides 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. You are given arrival communication and ETA updates where possible, but timing can still change with traffic, current bookings, and property access conditions such as parking or strata entry rules.
