Chelsea Property Protection Guarantee

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."

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 to ensure your home remains flood-safe and your insurance is 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.
We don't just fix a pipe; we provide the regulatory compliance and property security your most valuable asset deserves.

Book any repair today and simply ask for your Free Property Protection Audit. We’ll check your compliance and safety so you can have total peace of mind.

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

Pedestal Basin Modernisation & Safety Upgrade


Location:
 Thames Promenade, Chelsea (VIC 3196)

The Challenge: Upgrading “Old School” Separate Taps

A homeowner on Thames Promenade had a classic pedestal basin with the original separate hot and cold water outlets. While these older setups have a heritage look, they are awkward to use when trying to find the right water temperature. The client wanted to modernise the bathroom’s functionality by switching to a single flick mixer.

The Discovery: Outdated Connections & High Pressure

During the decommissioning of the old taps, we identified two areas that needed to be brought up to modern standards:

  • Isolation: The original plumbing lacked local shut-off valves. This meant the entire house would have to be turned off at the street just to perform a simple repair at the basin.
  • Pressure Testing: Our diagnostic check revealed that the mains water pressure was exceeding the legal limit. High pressure in these older setups often leads to excessive splashing and premature wear on new ceramic cartridges.

The Solution: Tap Conversion & Compliance Protection

We performed a clean conversion to modernise the basin and protect the new hardware:

  • Mixer Conversion: We installed a high-quality single basin flick mixer. Since the pedestal basin originally had two tap holes, we used an approved chrome cap to neatly plug the redundant hole, maintaining a clean and professional finish.
  • Emergency Stop Taps: As per current regulations, we installed new emergency stop taps on both the hot and cold water supply lines. This provides easy isolation for any future maintenance without disrupting the rest of the home.
  • System Protection (AS/NZS 3500): To ensure the new mixer operates correctly and to protect the home’s pipework, we installed a Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) at the water meter. We calibrated the pressure to sit safely below the 500 kPa legal limit, ensuring full compliance with Australian Standards.

The Verdict

The pedestal basin now offers the convenience of modern temperature control while retaining its original style. By installing the PRV and the emergency stops, we’ve ensured the system is fully protected, easy to service, and meets all current Australian Standards.
