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

Safe Gas Disconnection & Permanent Cap-Off


Location:
 Church Road, Carrum (VIC 3197)

The Challenge: Transitioning from Gas to Electric Cooking

A homeowner on Church Road contacted us to decommission their old gas cooktop as they were upgrading to a modern electric induction model. In gas plumbing, a “disconnection” isn’t just about turning a valve; it requires a permanent, leak-proof seal of the consumer gas line and rigorous safety testing to ensure the rest of the home’s gas appliances remain safe.

The Discovery: Pre-Work Safety Auditing

Before touching the appliance, we followed mandatory safety protocols:

  • Gas Pressure Test: We disconnected the gas meter and attached a manometer (water gauge) to the consumer gas line. This “drop test” confirms if there are any existing leaks in the home’s pipework before we start.
  • The Result: The system passed the initial test, giving us a clear baseline to proceed with the work.

The Solution: B-Press Technology & System Re-Commissioning

We carried out the disconnection with a focus on permanent reliability:

  • Permanent Cap-Off: After removing the cooktop, we used specialized B-Press tools and fittings to permanently cap off the 15mm copper gas supply pipe within the cupboard space. B-Press provides a flame-free, high-security mechanical join that is superior to older capping methods.
  • Secondary Safety Test: Once capped, we performed a second manometer test. This ensures that our new seal is 100% gastight and that no other part of the system was disturbed during the process.
  • System Restoration: With the tests passed, we reconnected the gas meter. We then went through the home to professionally re-light the pilot lights for the gas hot water system and the ducted heater, ensuring all gas services were back online and operating safely.

The Verdict

The client successfully transitioned to their new electric cooktop with the peace of mind that their gas line is permanently and safely sealed. By testing before and after the works, we provided a “Certificate of Compliance” level of service that protects the home from future gas leaks.
