Plumbing FAQ's in Narraweena
Plumbing decisions are easier when you know what will happen on the first visit, how pricing is set, and what changes a simple repair into a bigger job. These are practical questions we hear from Narraweena customers, answered in plain English. If your situation is unusual, the fastest way to confirm the right fix is an onsite assessment followed by a fixed-price quote before starting work.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing, drainage, and any gas work in Narraweena, hiring a duly licensed NSW plumber is the safer option because incorrect work can cause water damage, hygiene issues, or safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing attending technicians are duly licensed NSW plumbers. If the issue is urgent, we can arrange 24/7 emergency support, and the technician will confirm the cause onsite before quoting.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs in Narraweena depend on what is actually required once the problem is inspected, including access, parts needed, and whether there is hidden damage. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote after diagnosis and before we begin. For call-out fee details, please confirm when booking, as there is no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages).
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Narraweena, including drain blockage clearing, water heater repairs and installations, broken pipe repairs, leak detection, and licensed gas fitting. The exact approach depends on what the site assessment finds, especially where access is limited or multiple faults are present. Once the scope is clarified, the job is quoted at a fixed price before any work begins.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Narraweena to assess the issue onsite, and this is often the only reliable way to confirm scope and provide accurate fixed, upfront pricing. Narraweena is in the 2099 postcode, and property access and pipe layouts vary, so a quick inspection usually prevents incorrect assumptions. After diagnosis, a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses, and licensed gas fitters handle gas connections and appliance work. In practice, the job usually starts with diagnosing the cause, not just the symptom, because that determines whether a repair will last. Fixed Today Plumbing completes work to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements and verifies operation before leaving.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A continuously running toilet usually indicates a worn seal, valve, or flush mechanism, and it can waste a significant amount of water if left unattended. If there is an overflow risk and you can do so safely, isolate water to reduce damage, then arrange an inspection. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Narraweena, confirm the cause onsite, and provide fixed, upfront pricing before completing the repair.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be more than a nuisance because ongoing water can damage grout, waterproofing, and adjacent rooms. The practical next step is an onsite inspection to confirm whether the issue is with a fitting, the plumbing behind the wall, or the drain connection. Once diagnosed, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a flat-rate quote before starting repair work, then tests the shower before leaving.
