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

Identifying Non-Compliant Drainage in a New Renovation


Location:
 Barnes Avenue, Burwood (VIC 3125)

The Challenge: Poor Drainage in a Newly Renovated Bathroom

A homeowner on Barnes Avenue contacted us regarding a serious drainage issue in their recently renovated disabled-access bathroom. Despite the bathroom being brand new, water was building up rapidly at the base of the shower, creating a slip hazard and preventing the client from using the space safely.

The Discovery: Non-Compliant Imported Fixtures

We performed a thorough investigation of the shower’s strip grate system. Upon inspecting the drain outlet, we identified a critical failure in the original installation:

  • Undersized Outlet: The installed shower grate featured a 32mm drain outlet.
  • The Standard: Under Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3500), a shower must have a minimum 50mm outlet to handle the required water flow.
  • The Problem: The 32mm outlet was a non-compliant, imported product that simply wasn’t capable of draining water fast enough for a standard shower head. This is a common issue when contractors use cheap, non-certified fixtures that haven’t been “WaterMarked” for use in Australia.

The Solution: Expert Advice & Compliance Reporting

Because the bathroom was under warranty, we provided the homeowner with a professional assessment to take back to their original contractor:

  • Technical Briefing: We explained why the current drainage was failing and documented the breach of Australian plumbing standards.
  • The Corrective Path: We advised the owner that the entire strip grate needed to be removed and replaced with an Australian Standards-approved 50mm grated drain.
  • Safety First: We ensured the client understood that for a disabled-access bathroom, meeting these flow rates is not just a legal requirement but a critical safety necessity to prevent flooding.

The Verdict

This project serves as a reminder of why using “WaterMark” approved products is essential. While we didn’t perform the original install, our expert diagnosis gave the homeowner the evidence they needed to have the builder rectify the work. We always advocate for doing it right the first time to avoid the cost and stress of failing inspections.

By identifying that a slow-draining toilet was actually a main line blockage and using hydro-jetting to clear non-dissolving debris, we restored the system and verified the pipe integrity with a camera inspection.
