Plumbing FAQ's in Narwee
Plumbing decisions are easier when you know what will happen next, how pricing is set, and how quickly help can arrive. These are practical questions we get from Narwee residents and property managers, answered in plain English. If your situation is urgent or hard to describe, a short call is usually enough to book the right technician and confirm the next action.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Hiring a licensed and fully insured plumber is the safer option for most plumbing work because mistakes can cause hidden leaks, water damage, and compliance problems. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW technicians, and regulated plumbing or gas work should not be attempted without the correct licence. If you are unsure how serious it is, booking an onsite assessment is the quickest way to confirm scope and risk.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access, and parts needed, especially if the job is urgent and after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote before starting work. If the inspection finds extra issues, the options are explained and priced before additional work proceeds.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Narwee, including blocked drains, leak location, burst pipe repairs, hot water system work, and licensed gas fitting. The right service is confirmed after an onsite assessment, since similar symptoms can have different causes. Work is completed to applicable Australian Standards, and the outcome is tested before the technician leaves.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is used to confirm what is happening and what access is available, which is why quotes are not reliably done by phone for most jobs. Fixed Today Plumbing offers a fixed-price quote before work starts, once scope is confirmed onsite. If the inspection shows a larger repair is needed, the options are explained and priced so you can choose the next step.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures such as toilets, taps, and hot water systems. In NSW, gas fitting and drainage work also require the correct licence. For most properties, the practical role is to locate the cause of the fault, complete the installation or repair safely, and verify that the system is functioning correctly before leaving.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn inlet valve, a mis-seated seal, or an internal mechanism that is not shutting off correctly. It can waste a lot of water, even if everything looks fine from the outside. The safest next step is to book a plumber to inspect the cistern and confirm the cause, then provide a fixed-fee quote to repair it.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be a simple fixture issue, but it can also be water tracking behind tiles or into wall cavities. That is why persistent leaks should be inspected rather than left to continue. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the shower area, confirm whether it is a fitting, waterproofing-adjacent, or pipework issue, then provide a fixed-price quote before any repair work begins.
Do you service the entire Narwee area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services the full Narwee 2209 area and all Sydney metropolitan regions, including the St George district. For emergencies, the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs. Availability depends on current bookings and traffic, but urgent jobs are sent out first and you will receive arrival updates where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and can also inspect and repair drainage where required. Clearing normally involves locating the restriction and removing it using the least disruptive method suitable for the pipework, then checking that flow is restored. If the blockage is caused by a broken or collapsed section, repair options such as structural relining or repair are explained and quoted once confirmed.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Actual arrival time depends on the current job queue, access details, and traffic conditions. When you book, the nearest available technician is allocated from local Sydney dispatch points, and ETA updates are provided where possible if circumstances change.
