Plumbing FAQ's in Narwee
Plumbing decisions are harder in an emergency because you want it safe and stopped quickly, but you also want clear pricing. This Narwee FAQ explains what usually happens on a callout, what affects cost, and how booking works. If you are not sure how urgent it is, call 1800 349 338 and describe what is happening so the job can be booked correctly.
- What you can see (leak, overflow, no hot water, gas smell)
- Whether the problem is getting worse or causing damage
- Any access notes (tenants, locked gates, parking limits, booking windows)
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In Narwee, it is usually safer to use a licensed and insured plumber for emergency plumbing because water, drainage, and gas faults can cause damage quickly. DIY work can also create compliance issues and void warranties on fixtures or appliances. A licensed plumbing specialist can confirm the cause onsite and give a fixed-price quote before we begin, so you can decide with clear information.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is found onsite, access to the pipework, 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), and you receive a fixed-price quote once the scope is defined. No call-out fee applies for many service areas, so confirm Narwee call-out fee status when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing offers general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Narwee and Sydney, including blocked drains and sewer repairs, burst pipe repairs, hot water service installations and repairs, and licensed gas fitting work. The exact solution depends on what is found during the onsite inspection. Once the scope is clear, a fixed-price quote is provided before work proceeds.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, jobs in Narwee are assessed onsite because quoting without seeing the fault can miss key details such as access, the condition of existing pipework, and what is actually causing the symptom. After the assessment, you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts. If the inspection indicates extra work is needed, the options are explained and quoted once the the scope is confirmed.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. In practice, that includes finding leaks, clearing blockages, repairing burst pipes, and working on hot water systems. In NSW, gas work must be done by a properly licensed gas fitter. A professional assessment matters because the visible symptom is not always where the actual fault is located.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually means an internal component is not sealing correctly, and it can waste a lot of water over time. If it is an urgent situation and you need to reduce water flow, turning off the toilet isolation tap can help until a plumber arrives. The right repair depends on the toilet type and what has failed, so an onsite assessment is needed before quoting.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by worn tap components, a failed mixer, or a leak behind the wall that shows up later as dampness. Because water can travel before it becomes visible, it is worth booking a licensed and insured plumber if the leak is ongoing or causing damage. Once the cause is confirmed onsite, you will receive a fixed-price quote before repairs proceed.
Do you service the entire Narwee area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Narwee NSW 2209 as part of the wider Sydney metropolitan regions, including the St George district. For emergency calls, the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs. Attendance depends on urgency, current workload, and traffic conditions, and ETA updates are provided where possible once a job is booked.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains, completes CCTV inspections, and handles sewer repairs and pipe lining when required. Clearing a drain is not always the full fix, so the line is assessed to confirm what caused the blockage. If the camera shows a damaged section, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed onsite, so you can choose the next action.
How fast can you come?
For Narwee emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available correctly licensed technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. Arrival timing depends on traffic and existing bookings, so an ETA is provided when booking and updates are given where possible. For non-urgent enquiries, same-day service is available.
