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

 Investigating a Hidden Vanity Leak & Tapware Upgrade


Location:
 Edinburgh Street, Clayton (VIC 3168)

The Challenge: Identifying the Source of a Swelling Vanity Cupboard

A homeowner on Edinburgh Street noticed the timber in their bathroom vanity unit had started to swell, a clear sign of water damage. However, despite looking under the sink, the client couldn’t see any active drips from the visible pipework. They needed a professional investigation to identify the source before the entire vanity required replacement.

The Discovery: Corrosion Beneath the Tap Flanges

We conducted a systematic assessment to rule out the usual causes:

  • Drainage Test: We first inspected the 40mm UPVC P-trap and the basin pop-up waste. Both were watertight and operating correctly.
  • Flood Testing: We then turned our attention to the chrome tap set. By pouring water around the base of the taps and the spout—a process known as flood testing—we observed water dripping past the tap holes and directly into the cupboard below.
  • The Root Cause: Upon removing the tap flanges, we found heavily corroded fixing hex nuts and a degraded tap breach. Years of lime deposits had caused the fittings to seize, making it impossible to maintain a watertight seal. This allowed every splash from hand-washing to seep into the vanity carcase.

The Solution: Full Tapware & Breach Replacement

To provide a permanent fix and stop the cabinet damage, we performed a comprehensive system upgrade:

  • New Tapware: We sourced a high-quality Posh Bristol Basin Set with a swivel spout from Reece Plumbing.
  • Underbench Components: We replaced the corroded underbench tap breach and installed new braided flexible hoses, as the originals were showing signs of minor rust and were nearing the end of their functional life.
  • Precision Installation: After the new set was installed, we performed a second flood test around the hob taps to ensure the seals were 100% watertight against the basin surface.
  • Compliance Check: We conducted a mandatory water pressure check. The property recorded a perfect 500 kPa, as a Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) was already correctly installed on the mains, meeting all Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3500).

The Verdict

The hidden leak is now fully resolved, preventing the need for a costly vanity replacement. By identifying that the leak was originating from the tap seating rather than the drainage, we provided a targeted solution that ensures the bathroom remains dry and compliant with Australian Standards.
