Question 1

What does a plumbing maintenance check include?

Accepted Answer

We inspect taps, toilets, hot water systems (including TPR valve and anode), exposed pipework, drainage flow, and water pressure — identifying any issues before they become costly problems.

Question 2

How often should I have a maintenance check?

Accepted Answer

Once a year is ideal for most homes. Older properties, coastal properties (due to accelerated corrosion), and rental properties benefit from regular checks. Post-storm checks are also worthwhile after a major weather event.

Question 3

Is a maintenance check worth it for a newer house?

Accepted Answer

Yes — even newer homes can have issues develop within a few years. A check every 2 years is reasonable for newer builds. It's also useful before a property sale or purchase.

Question 4

What are my obligations as a rental property owner?

Accepted Answer

Queensland tenancy law requires landlords to keep the property in a reasonable state of repair. This includes ensuring plumbing is functional and safe. Regular maintenance visits help you stay compliant and document the property's condition.

Question 5

How does storm season affect plumbing?

Accepted Answer

Heavy rain can overwhelm drainage, expose pipe weaknesses, and cause roof plumbing issues. It's worth checking gutters, downpipes, and drainage before the wet season, and knowing where your shutoff valve is in case of an emergency.
