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

High-Pressure Solution for a Stubborn Blocked Gully

 

Location: Donald Street, Ashburton (VIC 3147)

The Challenge: When Traditional Plunging Fails

A resident on Donald Street contacted us after their laundry gully trap began overflowing, creating a mess near the home’s foundations. Before calling us, the homeowner attempted to clear the line using a standard plunger, but it provided no relief. Because the gully was “holding water,” it was clear the blockage was significant and located deeper than manual pressure could reach.

The Discovery: Blockage Beyond the Trap

Upon arrival, we performed a technical assessment of the drainage point. While a plunger can sometimes shift a minor soft blockage within the “U-bend” of the trap, our inspection revealed the issue was more systemic. The blockage was located after the U-shape bend of the gully trap, situated in the straight sewer line connection leading to the main sewer drain. This is why the plunging effort failed—it simply couldn’t generate enough force to reach the obstruction in the main line.

The Solution: Precision Hydro-Jetting

To resolve the issue and ensure a clear run to the main sewer, we deployed our High-Pressure Hydro-Jet. We didn’t want to just push the blockage further; we wanted to clear the pipe entirely:

  • The Process: We bypassed the trap and fed the jetter nozzle directly into the straight-line connection. The high-velocity water stream scoured the pipe walls, emulsifying the compacted debris and flushing it through to the main sewer.
  • The Result: The gully trap immediately self-drained. We then performed a heavy “dump test” from the laundry, running maximum water volume to ensure the line was completely clear, free-flowing, and PCA compliant.

The Verdict

Plunging is often just a “patch-up” attempt. For blockages located in the main sewer connection, hydraulic pressure is the only permanent solution. By using the right gear, we restored the system without any invasive digging or property damage.
