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

Hot Water System Recovery & Anti-Scald Protection


Location:
 Bambra Road, Caulfield South (VIC 3162)

The Challenge: A Constantly Leaking Hot Water Tank

A homeowner on Bambra Road called us out because their gas hot water system was constantly discharging water. Upon inspection, it was clear that the PTR (Pressure Temperature Relief) Valve had failed. This valve is a safety device designed to release pressure, but when it fails, it causes a continuous, costly drain of water through the 15mm copper discharge pipe.

The Discovery: Failed Valve & Dangerous Water Temperatures

We diagnosed the issue and identified two critical areas that needed attention:

  • The Valve Failure: The existing valve was no longer seating correctly. We sourced a specific HTE-55 valve set, rated for a 1000 kPa maximum pressure to match the tank’s specifications, from Reece Plumbing in Caulfield.
  • The Temperature Risk: After replacing the valve, we performed a safety check using our digital temperature gauge at the bathroom basin. The reading was 61°C—well above the safe limit and high enough to cause serious scalding in seconds.

The Solution: Valve Replacement & Temperature Calibration

We didn’t just fix the leak; we made the entire system safer for the household:

  • PTR Replacement: We installed the new HTE-55 valve and tested it for correct operation. We also advised the client that these valves are a “serviceable item” and should be replaced every 5 years to prevent future tank failures.
  • Scalding Protection: To address the high heat, we installed a 15mm Tempering Valve (Temperature Control Valve).
  • Precision Setting: We calibrated the hot water to a safe, compliant 48°C. By securing the safety lock-nut on the valve, we ensured this temperature setting remains permanent and cannot be accidentally adjusted.

The Verdict

The hot water system is no longer wasting water, and the family is now protected from the risk of accidental scalding. The homeowner was incredibly grateful that we took the extra step to check the water temperature, ensuring the job was not just a “repair” but a full safety upgrade.
