Plumbing FAQ's in Lugarno
These are practical answers to common emergency plumbing questions we hear from Lugarno locals. Each answer is general by design, because the right fix depends on what is found onsite. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, a quick call is usually enough to book the right technician and confirm the next step.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergency plumbing in Lugarno, a correctly licensed and insured plumbing technician is usually the safest option because water and gas faults can cause damage quickly and some work must be completed by a licensed trade. Fixed Today Plumbing sends NSW-licensed plumbers. If the issue involves active leaking, sewer overflow, or any gas concern, arranging an onsite assessment is the safest next step.
How much does plumbing cost?
The cost depends on the confirmed scope, including access, parts required, and whether the work is urgent after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and a fixed-price quote is provided before starting work. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm what applies for Lugarno when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, pipe relining, CCTV inspections, hot water unit work, leak detection, broken pipe repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The right service is confirmed after an onsite diagnosis, then the job is quoted at a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend in Lugarno to assess the issue in person, because accurate quoting depends on seeing access, existing pipework, and the affected fixtures. Phone descriptions often miss details that change the scope. Once the diagnosis is completed onsite, you receive a fixed-price quote before we start, so you can decide with clear information.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems so fixtures work safely and reliably. That can include locating leaks, repairing burst pipes, clearing blocked drains, installing hot water systems, and completing licensed gas fitting. In NSW, the attending technician should be licensed, and regulated work is completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet usually means an internal cistern part is not sealing correctly, which wastes water and can lead to larger faults if left unresolved. The safest next step is to book a plumber to inspect the cistern and confirm whether the problem is isolated to the toilet or linked to a drainage issue. Once diagnosed, the repair is quoted before work begins.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed quickly because water can travel behind tiles and into walls or flooring, causing hidden damage that is more expensive to fix. In Lugarno, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend to locate the source, confirm whether it is the fitting, waterproofing junction, or pipework, and then provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is clear.
Do you service the entire Lugarno area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Lugarno 2210 as part of our Sydney metropolitan coverage. The business provides 24/7 emergency plumbing services for commercial and residential clients, with capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. If your site has access limits or strata requirements, mention that when booking so arrival is smoother.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains, sewer repairs, and CCTV inspections. The first step is confirming what is blocked and where, because the right method depends on the pipe type, access point, and whether there is structural damage. After diagnosis, a fixed-price quote is provided before any clearing or repair work starts, and flow is verified before leaving.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies in Lugarno, 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 and updated where possible. Arrival timing still depends on current jobs and traffic conditions, so the booking call is the fastest way to confirm timing.
