Emergency Plumbing FAQ's in Lindfield
Emergency plumbing questions in Lindfield usually come down to urgency, safety, and cost clarity. This FAQ explains what happens when you book Fixed Today Plumbing, how fixed-price quoting works, and when an onsite assessment is needed to confirm scope. If you are unsure how urgent the situation is, a short call is enough to describe the symptoms and book the right technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergency plumbing in Lindfield, hiring a licensed plumbing professional is the safer option. Water, drainage, and gas work can create property damage or safety risks if it is not done correctly, and unlicensed work can cause compliance and insurance issues later. If the problem involves active leaks, sewer overflow, or anything gas-related, book an inspection so the fault can be confirmed and quoted before repairs proceed.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is found onsite, access to the fault, required parts, and whether it is urgent after-hours work. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm call-out fee status for Lindfield when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency and general plumbing services in Lindfield, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water systems, leaking taps, gutter and roof leaks, toilets, showers, burst pipes, and licensed gas fitting. Most standard faults can be handled on a first visit where access is clear and parts are available. If inspection shows structural pipe damage, the repair options are explained and quoted once scope is defined.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is normally required to quote accurately in Lindfield (postcode 2070). Descriptions over the phone rarely confirm the exact location, cause, or access conditions, which are what drive the scope and price. The attending technician checks the problem area, confirms access and any safety requirements, then provides a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
What do plumbers do?
A plumber installs, maintains, and repairs water and drainage systems in a property, including pipework, taps, toilets, showers, hot water units, stormwater, and sewer connections. In NSW, gas fitting must be done by a fully duly licensed gasfitter for safety reasons. Where regulated work applies, compliance documentation may be provided, and the system is tested before it is put back into normal use.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn inlet valve, an outlet seal that is not seating properly, or a cistern that does not shut off cleanly. If the toilet keeps refilling or trickling into the bowl, arrange a repair so the parts can be checked and replaced. The correct fix depends on the cistern style and condition, which is confirmed onsite before quoting.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from the plumbing fittings, the mixer, or the drainage and waterproofing around the shower, and the true source is not always visible. An onsite inspection is the most direct way to confirm what is failing and limit hidden damage behind walls or floors. Once the cause is identified, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before the repair is completed and checked.
Do you service the entire Lindfield area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Lindfield and all Sydney metropolitan regions. Availability depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, but urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed, insured plumber is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points. If you are in an apartment, strata building, or managed property, mention any access time windows when booking so the visit can be planned properly.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing unblocks drains in Lindfield by locating the obstruction with CCTV drain cameras and clearing it with high-pressure water jetting where suitable. This covers most accessible external and internal blockages. If the inspection shows a collapsed section or damaged pipework, the technician explains repair options such as structural repair or no-dig pipe relining, and quotes once scope is verified.
