Plumbing FAQ's in Macquarie Links
These are practical answers to common questions we hear from Macquarie Links residents and property managers during urgent and routine plumbing callouts. Each answer explains what usually happens, what affects pricing, and when a NSW-properly licensed plumber should attend. If your situation is time-sensitive, calling is often the quickest way to confirm urgency and get an ETA update for the attending technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In Macquarie Links, a licensed and insured plumber is the safer choice for most plumbing work, and it is essential for gas fitting and many drainage and hot water tasks. DIY attempts can worsen leaks, increase damage, or create safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW technicians, and the job is assessed onsite so the the scope is confirmed before a fixed price is given.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the affected area, parts required, and whether the job is an urgent after-hours callout. Fixed Today Plumbing uses Fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a flat-rate quote before we begin. The Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including Macquarie Links. Common work includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, hot water service repairs and installations, gas leak detection and gas connections, burst pipe repairs, and leak detection. The exact approach depends on what is found during the onsite assessment and what access is available.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Macquarie Links need an onsite assessment before accurate pricing can be given, because the cause and access are not always visible from symptoms alone. Fixed Today Plumbing completes diagnosis first, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before we begin. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain the pipework and fixtures that bring clean water in and take wastewater away. In NSW, licensed plumbers can also hold endorsements for drainage and gas fitting work. Fixed Today Plumbing27s attending technicians are properly licensed plumbers in NSW, and work is completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal valve or a seal that is not closing properly, and it can waste a lot of water over time. The safest immediate step is to stop using the toilet if it is overflowing or backing up and arrange a plumber. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the cause onsite and provide a fixed-price quote before repairs.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower is commonly caused by a worn component, a connection problem, or water escaping behind the wall, and it can lead to hidden damage if it continues. Avoid ongoing use if water is escaping into surrounding areas and arrange an assessment. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite, explains what is included, and provides a fixed price quote before any work starts.
