Common questions
What does a plumber's call-out fee cover?
Travel and the initial inspection, and often the first 15 to 30 minutes on site. Many plumbers waive it when you go ahead with the quoted work.
How much does emergency plumbing cost?
Expect 1.5 to 2 times the standard hourly rate after hours, plus a higher call-out fee. A burst pipe at 2am is worth it; a slow-dripping tap can wait for business hours.
