FAQs
Everything You Need To Know
How do I know if my home needs a plumbing inspection?
There are several signs that suggest a plumbing inspection is overdue. Recurring issues like slow drains, dripping taps that keep coming back after being fixed, fluctuating water pressure or discoloured water from your taps are all indicators that something in your plumbing system needs a closer look. Older homes are particularly worth having inspected regularly as the pipes and fixtures may be made from materials that have degraded over time. If you have recently purchased a property and did not arrange a pre-purchase plumbing inspection before settlement, booking one shortly after moving in is a smart way to understand the condition of the plumbing and identify anything that needs attention before it becomes a more costly problem.
What plumbing maintenance does a rental property require?
Rental properties have specific plumbing maintenance obligations that landlords and property managers need to stay on top of to meet their legal responsibilities and keep tenants comfortable. Regular checks should cover tap and shower functionality, toilet operation, hot water system servicing, drain condition and water pressure. Backflow prevention devices are required on many properties and must be tested annually or as specified by the local water authority. Pre-purchase plumbing inspections are strongly recommended before acquiring an investment property, and any identified issues should be addressed promptly rather than deferred. Keeping thorough records of all plumbing work carried out on a rental property is also important for compliance purposes and can be invaluable in the event of a dispute or insurance claim.
What is backflow testing and why is it required?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the reverse direction through a plumbing system, which can result in contaminated water entering the clean water supply. This is a serious health risk and is why backflow prevention devices are installed on many properties to stop it from happening. These devices need to be tested periodically by a licensed plumber to confirm they are functioning correctly and providing the intended level of protection. The testing frequency and requirements vary depending on the property type and the category of the backflow prevention device installed. In many cases the local water authority will issue a notice requiring the test to be carried out by a specified date, and failure to comply can result in fines or other consequences. Property owners are responsible for ensuring their backflow prevention devices are tested and maintained in accordance with the relevant requirements.
