Plumbing FAQ's in Mount Lewis
Plumbing problems are rarely convenient, and it is normal to want clear answers before you book a visit. These FAQs cover the questions we hear most often from Mount Lewis residents and property managers, including pricing, arrival expectations, and what happens during an onsite assessment. If your situation is urgent, calling is the quickest way to book the right technician and confirm the next step.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing and gas work in NSW, a licensed and insured plumber is usually the safest choice because repairs often involve water damage risk, compliance requirements, and testing before the system is used again. If the issue involves a gas smell, an ongoing leak, or sewer overflow, arrange professional help urgently. For non-urgent faults, an onsite assessment confirms scope before a fixed-price quote is provided.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of work, access to the affected area, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. If a call-out fee applies for Mount Lewis, it is confirmed when you book.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Mount Lewis, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water repairs and installations, leaking taps, toilet repairs, gutter and roof leak repair, ruptured pipe repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The right solution depends on what the onsite diagnosis shows, so we confirm the scope and provide a fixed-price quote before work starts.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Mount Lewis need an onsite assessment because accurate pricing depends on access, the condition of the pipework, and what is actually causing the problem. The visit is used to confirm the scope, explain options in plain English, and then provide fixed, upfront pricing before any work begins. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses, such as taps, toilets, showers, pipework, and hot water systems. Licensed plumbers in NSW may also handle drainage and gas fitting work when appropriately licensed. For Mount Lewis properties, the first step is usually an onsite diagnosis so the cause is confirmed before a fixed-price quote is given.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A continuously running toilet usually indicates a worn internal valve or seal, and it is best assessed by a licensed and fully insured plumber so the right parts are fitted and the cistern is tested properly. If the toilet is overflowing or leaking, stop using it and arrange a repair urgently. For non-urgent running toilets, an onsite visit confirms the fault before quoting.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed because the water can track into wall cavities or under floors, even when the drip looks small. The repair approach depends on whether the leak is from the shower head, the taps or mixer, or hidden pipework. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite in Mount Lewis, then provides fixed, upfront pricing before starting work.
