The Your Choice Property Protection Audit: Is Your Home Compliant?

Plumbing Compliance Audit

The Your Choice Property Protection Audit
(A $189 Professional Service — Included Free Upon Request)

Most plumbers fix the leak and leave. We ensure your home is protected for the long term. We bridge the 'Compliance Gap' to protect your family, your appliances, and your insurance standing.

Why we include a Property Protection Audit with every service:

Our approach identifies the most common risks within your home’s plumbing system to ensure you have a clear picture of its overall condition and safety. We believe a professional service shouldn’t just address the immediate issue; our process is designed to uncover hidden vulnerabilities—like excessive mains pressure, dangerously high hot water temperatures, or rusty water connection hoses—before they become emergencies.
We provide this assessment to give you the facts you need to protect your family, your property, and your insurance standing. We identify the faults and explain the risks, putting the control back in your hands.

1. Insurance Due Diligence & Flood Prevention
  • The Risk: Burst flexible hoses are the #1 cause of internal flooding in Australia.
  • Our Check: We perform a tactile and visual inspection for "tea-staining" and corrosion. We ensure your home meets the standards your insurance policy expects, keeping your property flood-safe and your coverage secure.
2. AS/NZS 3500 Pressure Verification
  • The Risk: Melbourne mains pressure often exceeds 700 kPa, yet the National Code (PCA) limits residential pressure to 500 kPa.
  • Our Check: We test your pressure at the meter. Over-pressure is the leading cause of leaking taps, noisy pipes, and failing toilet parts.
3. NCC 2022 Scald-Safe Audit
  • The Risk: Hot water stored at 60°C kills bacteria but can cause 3rd-degree burns in seconds.
  • Our Check: We verify your tempering valves are calibrated to the safety mandate of 50°C, protecting your loved ones from accidental scalding.

⚠️ The Insurance Warning: Did you know? Many insurance providers can deny water damage claims if your property doesn’t meet the 500 kPa pressure mandate. We don’t just fix the leak; we help ensure your home stays compliant and your coverage stays secure.

Ready to secure your home? Mention the 'Property Protection Audit' when you book your repair, and we’ll include it at no extra cost. Protect your home today. Learn More about the Property Protection Audit or See the real-world risks identified in our Flood Prevention & Compliance gallery”.

Real Results: A Story from the Road with Sam, Natasha & The Team

Resolving Severe Water Hammer & High-Pressure Noise


Location:
 Pinehurst Way, Heatherton (VIC 3202)

The Challenge: Eliminating “Noisy Pipes” in the Laundry

A homeowner on Pinehurst Way contacted us regarding a distressing “banging” noise coming from the laundry walls whenever the washing machine was in use. This phenomenon, known as water hammer, can be incredibly loud and, if left unaddressed, can eventually cause pipes to vibrate loose or joints to fail behind the plaster. The client was concerned that resolving the issue would require cutting into the walls for a major structural repair.

The Discovery: Excessive 750 kPa Pressure

Before suggesting any invasive work, we performed a static pressure test at the property. The reading came back at 750 kPa—well above the 500 kPa limit mandated by Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3500).

High pressure is the leading cause of water hammer; when a modern appliance (like a washing machine) snaps its internal valves shut, the high-velocity water has nowhere to go, sending a shockwave back through the pipes.

The Solution: Targeted Pressure Regulation at the Source

We were able to solve the problem without a single cut to the client’s plaster:

  • Precision Sourcing: We headed to Reece Plumbing in Clayton to source a high-performance Zurn In-Line Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV).
  • System Protection: We installed the Zurn valve at the water meter, regulating the entire home’s supply down to a consistent and compliant 500 kPa.
  • Calibration & Testing: This effectively “slowed down” the water velocity. Once the valve was commissioned, we ran the laundry appliances through several cycles. The banging noise was completely eliminated.

The Verdict

The client was thrilled—and relieved—to find that a professional diagnostic test saved her from a costly and messy renovation. By addressing the root cause (high pressure) at the meter rather than just the symptom (the noise) in the wall, we protected the laundry pipework and all other household appliances from premature wear.
