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

Emergency Water Main Re-routing & “No-Dig” Burst Pipe Solution


Location:
 Park Street, Malvern (VIC 3144)

The Challenge: A Burst Pipe at the Worst Possible Moment

The owners of a stunning architecturally designed home on Park Street were in a real bind. Just as they were placing their house on the market, a copper water main burst. They noticed a very moist patch in the side garden bed right next to their pristine concrete driveway. A standard repair usually involves cutting a trench through the concrete, which would have ruined the home’s “street appeal” for upcoming inspections. They needed a fast, clean solution that didn’t involve a jackhammer.

The Discovery: High-Tech Diagnostics & Local Authority Support

We didn’t want to start digging or cutting without being 100% sure.

  • Electronic Leak Detection: Even though the garden bed was wet, we used our electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location. The sonar technology confirmed the worst: the burst was actually under the concrete driveway, and the water was just “bleeding” out into the garden bed.
  • Financial Protection: We recorded the water meter reading (08546) on the invoice for a very specific reason. In Melbourne, local authorities like South East Water allow residents to claim a “leakage allowance” reduction on their bill once every five years for unforeseen bursts. This ensures the owners aren’t hit with a massive bill for water they never used.

The Solution: Precision Re-routing & B-Press Engineering

To save the driveway, we decided to re-route the entire supply using premium materials from Reece Plumbing in Armadale:

  • The Diversion: We “deleted” the failed underground line and re-diverted the main water supply above ground. We ran a new copper line along the external brick wall, drilling a neat penetration to connect back into the home via a service shaft void in the garage.
  • B-Press Technology: For a flawless finish on the external wall, we used our Rothenberger B-Press tools and copper crimp fittings. This “no-torch” method provides a factory-perfect joining finish that is incredibly clean and professional.
  • System Protection: We also installed a new Pressure Limiting Valve (PLV) to keep the home’s pressure at a safe, compliant level, protecting the new pipework from future stress.

The Verdict

The result was a permanent, high-quality repair that completely bypassed the driveway. The new owners won’t have to worry about underground leaks, and the current vendors were able to proceed with their house sale with a clean bill of health.

Why Malvern Trusts Your Choice Plumbers?

We are proud to be a fully compliant and insured plumbing company. This dedication is backed by our membership in the Master Plumbers Association, ensuring every job meets the highest Victorian standards. As part of this commitment, we also offer a complimentary Free Flood Prevention and Compliance Plumbing Check with every completed job, guaranteeing long-term safety and peace of mind for your Malvern home.

“We believe in transparency and solving the structural root causes of recurring issues. For example, we recently assisted a homeowner on Wilton Vale Crescent with a Malvern East sewer boundary trap replacement. By identifying how effluent leakage was destabilizing the pipe bedding of an aging 1950s terracotta system, we provided a permanent structural solution rather than a temporary clearing. This expertise in complex drainage is why families across the 3145 area trust us for their long-term home protection.”
