Plumbing FAQ's in Mount Pritchard
These FAQs answer common questions we hear from Mount Pritchard residents and local businesses when something goes wrong without warning. Each answer is general, because accurate advice and pricing depend on what is found onsite. If you want to confirm urgency, call Fixed Today Plumbing and we will organise immediate dispatch for emergencies and provide ETA updates where possible.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing and gas work in Mount Pritchard, using a licensed plumbing technician is the safe option because incorrect repairs can cause water damage, ongoing leaks, or non-compliant work. Fixed Today Plumbing sends NSW licensed plumbers for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting. If it is urgent, the job is dispatched immediately; if it is not urgent, service the same day is often available once booking availability is confirmed.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs vary based on what is found onsite, how easy the area is to access, what parts are required, and whether the job is after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote before any work starts. For Mount Pritchard, confirm call-out fee status when booking, as it can vary by area.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers emergency and general plumbing in Mount Pritchard, including blocked drains and sewer repairs, hot water system repairs and replacement, burst pipes and leak detection, toilet and tap repairs, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. Each job starts with an onsite assessment. If the inspection shows a larger issue, options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Mount Pritchard need an onsite assessment because the cause, access, and existing pipework affect the scope and the safest repair method. Fixed Today Plumbing will inspect the issue, explain what has been found in plain English, then provide a fixed-price quote before any work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, which helps you plan if it is not urgent.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water and drainage systems in a property, and in NSW a correctly licensed plumbing professional can also carry out regulated drainage work. A licensed gas fitter installs and repairs gas pipework and appliance connections. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are fully licensed NSW plumbers. The right approach depends on what is found onsite.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually means a cistern component is not sealing correctly, so the toilet keeps refilling. It is rarely dangerous, but it can waste a lot of water and can overflow if a part fails completely. If the toilet will not stop running, you see water on the floor, or there is a sewage smell, book a plumber to inspect and provide a fixed-price quote once the cause is confirmed.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from the tapware, the shower head, the waste, or pipework behind the wall, and the source is not always obvious from the surface. Even minor leaks can cause hidden damage over time as water tracks into cabinetry and wall linings. If you can see water outside the shower area, notice staining, or the leak is getting worse, arrange an urgent inspection so the cause can be confirmed and quoted.
Do you service the entire Mount Pritchard area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Mount Pritchard and all Sydney metropolitan regions, including South West Sydney. For emergency calls, the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. Availability still depends on current bookings and traffic, so the practical next step is to call and confirm an ETA, with updates provided where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Mount Pritchard using tools like CCTV drain cameras to locate the blockage and high-pressure water jetting to remove many obstructions. This usually restores flow in reachable pipes. If the camera shows damaged or collapsed pipework, the next step is to explain the repair options and provide a fixed-price quote once the scope and access requirements are confirmed.
How fast can you come?
For Mount Pritchard emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing offers immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed trade technician is allocated from local dispatch points across Sydney. You will be given an ETA when booking, and updates are provided where possible. Arrival timing can still change due to traffic conditions and existing emergency callouts, especially after-hours.
