Plumbing FAQ's in North Engadine
Plumbing problems often show up at the worst time, and it is not always obvious what needs urgent attention. These frequently asked questions cover what people in North Engadine commonly ask about booking, pricing, timing, and what happens on the day. If your question is not answered here, the phone line is open and the team can talk through urgency and the next step.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Most plumbing and gas work should be handled by a licensed professional, especially where there is a leak, sewage risk, or any gas appliance involved. A licensed plumber can confirm the cause safely and complete repairs to the required standard. If the issue is urgent, Fixed Today Plumbing can arrange immediate dispatch and confirm what needs to happen next.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the affected area, and what parts are required. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-fee quote once the issue is assessed. If the scope changes after inspection, options are explained before any additional work proceeds.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water servicing, leak identification, roof and gutter leaks, and gas fitting. All attending technicians are properly licensed NSW plumbers. The exact approach depends on what is found onsite and what access is available at the property.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most plumbing problems in North Engadine need an onsite inspection before accurate pricing can be provided, because access and the fault location affect the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing provides an upfront fixed-price quote with no hidden costs before we begin. Call-out fee arrangements vary by area, so confirm the call-out fee status when booking.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. That includes finding and fixing leaks, restoring drainage flow, repairing toilets and taps, and installing hot water systems. Where gas fitting is involved, a correctly licensed gas fitter is required. The right work depends on the fault and what is safe to access onsite.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A always running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal seal or a faulty fill valve, and it can waste a lot of water over time. The safest next stage is to book a licensed and insured plumbing technician to assess and repair it, because the correct parts depend on the cistern type. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm the scope onsite and provide fixed upfront pricing before starting.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from a worn fitting, failed waterproofing seals, or a blockage causing water to escape in the wrong place. It is best to arrange an inspection so the source can be confirmed before damage spreads into walls or floors. Fixed Today Plumbing will explain the findings and provide a fixed price quote once the scope is clear.
Do you service the entire North Engadine area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services North Engadine as part of all Sydney metro regions, including the Sutherland Shire. The business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. When you book, the team will confirm availability, access details, and an ETA based on current jobs and traffic conditions.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing provides blocked drain clearing and structural pipe repair, including CCTV inspections and pipe relining where suitable. The first step is confirming the blockage location and what caused it, because clearing the line is only part of a durable fix. Once diagnosed, a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts, and options are explained if damage is found.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from local dispatch locations across Sydney. Same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing depends on existing bookings and traffic, but an ETA is provided when booking with updates where possible.
