Plumbing FAQ's in Mount Pritchard
These Mount Pritchard plumbing FAQs explain what typically causes common problems, what a first visit involves, and how pricing and attendance are handled.
Each answer is general until the issue is inspected onsite, because access, pipe layout, and fault location change what is required. If your situation is urgent, the phone line is always open and we can arrange immediate dispatch for emergencies.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing work, and especially anything involving gas, a licensed and insured plumber is the safer option because incorrect repairs can cause leaks, water damage, or non-compliant work. Fixed Today Plumbing is correctly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are NSW-licensed plumbers. If the job needs specialist tools or compliance checks, it should be professionally assessed onsite.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the fault, parts required, and whether the job is after-hours or urgent. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so the price is provided before we start once the issue is assessed. If the scope changes after inspection, options and pricing are confirmed before any extra work proceeds.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, water heater installations, gas leak detection, burst pipe repairs, and gutter and roof leaks. The right approach depends on what is found onsite, so the starting point is always confirming the cause and access points. Once confirmed, the job is quoted as a fixed price before work begins.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most Mount Pritchard jobs need an onsite assessment to quote accurately because pipe access and fault location affect scope and parts. Fixed Today Plumbing provides an upfront fixed-price quote with no surprise charges before work starts, after the issue is inspected and explained. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so ask at booking time whether a call-out fee applies for your address.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in a property, such as toilets, taps, showers, hot water units, and drains. In NSW, gas fitting and drainage work also require the correct licensing. A typical professional visit involves confirming the affected area, checking access, then quoting the job based on the actual fault rather than assumptions made over the phone.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs a repair to internal valves or seals, and it can waste a lot of water if left unattended. If the toilet is not overflowing, it is often safe to wait for a standard booking, but it is still worth repairing promptly. If there is overflow or wastewater concerns, stop using the toilet and arrange an urgent visit so the cause can be confirmed and fixed.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often needs attention sooner rather than later because slow leaks can damage cabinetry, plaster, and tiled surfaces over time. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess whether the leak is from tapware, the shower outlet, or connected pipework, then provide a fixed-price quote before repairs begin. If water is actively leaking into walls or ceilings, stop using the shower and book it as urgent.
Do you service the entire Mount Pritchard area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Mount Pritchard 2170 as part of all Sydney metropolitan regions. We allocate plumbers from localised dispatch points across Sydney, so the attending technician is typically assigned from the nearest available hub. Capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls applies across our service footprint, depending on availability.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also performs CCTV inspections to confirm the cause and condition of the pipe. Clearing is commonly done with high-pressure water jetting once the blockage location is identified. If inspection shows structural damage rather than a simple blockage, repair options such as structural pipe repair or no-dig pipe relining can be discussed and quoted after the scope is confirmed.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points. Same-day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries depends on current bookings. We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, but timing can change with traffic and earlier emergency callouts.
