Plumbing FAQ's in Normanhurst
These FAQs cover what Normanhurst residents usually want to know during a plumbing problem, including urgency, pricing, and what happens on the first visit. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, a short phone call is enough for us to book the right technician and confirm the next step.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing in Normanhurst, a licensed plumbing specialist is the safer choice when there is water damage risk, sewage exposure, or any gas concern. Plumbing and gas work can also require compliance documentation, so a DIY approach can create avoidable safety and insurance issues. Fixed Today Plumbing sends NSW-licensed plumbers and confirms the correct scope onsite before quoting.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of work, access to the faulty area, the parts required, and whether attendance is after-hours for an urgent situation. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), with a fixed-price quote provided before work starts. If a call-out fee applies in Normanhurst, it is confirmed when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, covering common work such as:
- Blocked drains and pipes
- Sewer problems
- Hot water systems
- Leaking taps
- Roof repairs
If inspection shows the issue is more complex than first described, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing assesses jobs onsite in the 2076 postcode so the quote is based on confirmed access, pipework type, and what is actually affected. This reduces surprises, because the fixed-price quote is built from what is found on arrival, not assumptions made over the phone. Quotes are good for 30 days from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses, such as pipework, toilets, showers, and hot water units. Gas work is a separate licensed category and must be carried out by a properly licensed gasfitter. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and attending technicians are properly licensed plumbers in NSW.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty inlet valve or a seal that is no longer closing properly. If overflow is a risk, turn off the toilet isolation valve if you can do so safely, then arrange a repair. Fixed Today Plumbing inspects the cistern, confirms the cause, and provides fixed, clear pricing before replacing parts or repairing the mechanism.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed early, because ongoing water can damage cabinetry, skirting, and flooring even when the leak looks minor. The right fix depends on where the leak is coming from, which is confirmed during the onsite inspection. Fixed Today Plumbing can diagnose the fault, explain the options clearly, then quote the repair as a fixed price before work starts.
Do you service the entire Normanhurst area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services all of Normanhurst as part of our Sydney metropolitan coverage. For urgent problems, we arrange immediate dispatch and allocate the nearest available licensed trade technician from our local Sydney dispatch points. For non-urgent work, same day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries, subject to existing bookings and access timing.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using drain inspection cameras to locate the restriction and high-pressure jetting to remove debris. The drain is then checked to confirm flow has been restored. If the CCTV check shows pipe damage rather than a simple blockage, repair options such as structural relining or repair are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed on site.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Normanhurst, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the closest available technician is allocated from our Sydney hubs. An ETA is provided where possible and updated if conditions change. Arrival timing depends on current emergency workload, traffic conditions, and whether access is immediately available at the property.
