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

Pressure Regulation Restoration & Basin Hardware Upgrade


Location:
 Ruskin Street, Elwood (VIC 3184)

The Challenge: Failed Pressure Regulation and a Defective Basin Waste

A homeowner on Ruskin Street contacted us regarding two distinct issues. Firstly, they suspected their water pressure was fluctuating, and secondly, their bathroom basin had become unusable because the pop-up waste was stuck in the closed position. In a beachside suburb like Elwood, maintaining controlled water pressure is vital to protecting the longevity of indoor fixtures.

The Discovery: A Decade-Old Failed Valve

Upon arrival, we conducted a pressure test and confirmed that the existing pressure limiting valve had failed. The unit was approximately 10 years old and was no longer regulating the flow, allowing high-pressure water to stress the home’s internal pipework. In the bathroom, we confirmed the mechanical failure of the pop-up waste, which had seized due to internal wear and mineral build-up.

The Solution: Valve Replacement & Basin Restoration

We addressed both the structural safety of the plumbing system and the immediate functionality of the basin:

  • Pressure Regulation (AS/NZS 3500): We decommissioned the faulty, decade-old valve and installed a new Zurn Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV). This restored the property to the compliant 500 kPa limit required by Australian Standards, ensuring the entire system is now protected from future surges.
  • Basin Waste Upgrade: We removed the seized pop-up fitting and installed a new plug and waste fitting supplied by the customer.
  • Sanitary Seal:To ensure a professional and watertight finish, we removed the old, degraded silicone from the waste outlet and applied a fresh, high-grade sanitary silicone seal.
  • Operational Testing: We performed a full flood test on the basin to ensure zero leaks and verified that the new Zurn valve was maintaining a steady pressure reading.

The Verdict

The bathroom basin is now fully functional, and more importantly, the home’s plumbing system is no longer at risk from unregulated water pressure. By replacing the failed 10-year-old valve with a new Zurn PRV, we have brought the property back into compliance and provided the homeowners with long-term peace of mind.
