Emergency Plumbing FAQ's in Mascot
These FAQs cover how emergency plumbing bookings work in Mascot, what affects timing and cost, and what to expect from a NSW-licensed and insured plumbing technician on arrival. The answers are general, because an accurate diagnosis and fixed-price quote requires an onsite inspection of the specific property and fault.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergency plumbing in Mascot, hiring a properly licensed NSW plumber is the safest option because water and gas faults can escalate quickly and can involve compliance requirements. DIY work can also make later repairs harder if the cause is not confirmed. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW technicians and can explain the fault and the repair scope before any work begins.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs in Mascot depend on the scope confirmed onsite, access to the fault, parts required, and whether the job is urgent after hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and provides a fixed-fee quote before starting work. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and payment can be made by major credit cards.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers emergency plumbing in Mascot across blocked drains, burst pipes and water leaks, water heater repairs and installations, leaking taps, roof and gutter leaks, toilet repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The right repair depends on what is found during diagnosis. If inspection shows a larger underlying issue, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is established.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, a personal assessment is required for jobs in the 2020 postcode because quoting without seeing access and the fault location can be inaccurate. Fixed Today Plumbing completes an onsite diagnosis, explains what is involved, then provides a fixed price quote before work starts. If you are booking for Mascot, ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies for your address and job type.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. In practice, that includes fixing leaks, clearing blockages, repairing toilets and taps, restoring hot water, and completing gas work where licensed. For emergency situations in Mascot, the focus is to stop damage, make the system safe, and verify the repair before leaving.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn or mis-seating valve inside the cistern, and it is normally resolved by repairing or replacing the failing components. If the toilet is overflowing or leaking onto floors, treat it as urgent and arrange an emergency plumber to prevent water damage. Once inspected, Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm the cause and provide a fixed-price quote before starting.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from the shower head, the taps, or concealed connections behind the wall, so the correct fix depends on what an inspection shows. If water is pooling outside the shower or you can see damage spreading, book a plumber promptly to limit property damage. Fixed Today Plumbing will identify the source onsite and quote the repair once the scope is clear.
Do you service the entire Mascot area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Mascot 2020. For emergencies, there is capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs, and urgent jobs are sent out first. Allocation is made from local dispatch points across Sydney, so the attending technician is usually the nearest available.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using camera inspection to identify what is restricting flow, then high-pressure jetting to remove the obstruction where suitable. If the inspection shows damaged pipework, options such as repair or pipe lining are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed. The goal is to restore flow and reduce the chance of the blockage returning.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies in Mascot, meaning urgent jobs are allocated first and the nearest available technician is sent. An exact arrival time depends on current jobs, traffic, and building access requirements, especially in strata sites. ETA updates are provided where possible, and the plumber will confirm access and the issue details on arrival.
