Plumbing FAQ's in Macquarie Park
Emergency plumbing is disruptive, and it is normal to feel unsure about cost, timing, and what happens once the plumber arrives. The answers below explain how bookings, on-site inspection, and fixed upfront pricing work for Macquarie Park jobs, including apartments and commercial sites with access requirements.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergencies in Macquarie Park, it is usually safer to book a licensed, insured plumber because leaks, blocked sewers, and gas faults can cause property damage or safety risks quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW technicians, and the job is assessed onsite before a fixed-price quote is provided. If it is minor, the scope is kept simple, if it is bigger, options are explained first.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Macquarie Park depends on the scope found onsite, because access, parts required, and urgency (including after-hours work) change what is involved. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and you receive the fixed-price quote before work starts. Ask about call-out fee status when booking, as it varies by area.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency and general plumbing across Sydney, including blocked drains, broken pipe repairs, leak testing, hot water repairs and installation, and licensed gas fitting. The right fix depends on what is found during inspection. Once the cause and access are confirmed, the work is quoted upfront and completed to Australian plumbing standards.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite visit in Macquarie Park is normally needed to confirm the cause, access, and the affected section of pipework before quoting. After the assessment, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before any work starts, so you can decide once the scope is clear. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber diagnoses and repairs water, waste, and drainage problems, then verifies that the system is working safely and correctly. In practice, this includes finding the actual cause of the issue, not just the visible symptom. For regulated work such as gas fitting, licensed plumbers may also provide compliance documentation where required.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by worn internal components, but it still wastes water and can become an urgent issue if it starts leaking externally. The simplest next step is to book a plumber to inspect it and confirm the cause onsite. Fixed Today Plumbing can then quote the repair upfront once the scope is clear.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
If a shower is leaking, it is worth booking an inspection because water can travel behind tiles and cause damage before it becomes visible. Fixed Today Plumbing checks whether the leak is coming from the plumbing connections or the fixtures, then provides a fixed price quote before repairs start. If the cause is outside plumbing scope, we explain what we found so you can plan the right next step.
Do you service the entire Macquarie Park area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Macquarie Park 2113. For emergencies, we have capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs. If your job is in a strata building or commercial site, share access and parking details when booking so the visit can be planned properly.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Macquarie Park using CCTV drain cameras to locate the cause and high-pressure water jetting to remove the obstruction. This usually resolves standard blockages in accessible lines. If the camera shows structural pipe damage, we explain repair options such as structural pipe repair or no-dig relining after confirming the scope onsite.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Macquarie Park, Fixed Today Plumbing arranges immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed technician is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points. For standard enquiries, service the same day is available where possible. Arrival timing depends on current jobs, access requirements, and traffic, and we provide ETA updates when we can.
