Preventative Maintenance in the Illawarra
An annual plumbing health-check costs less than one emergency call-out and catches the slow leaks, ageing hot water units and root-affected drains before they ruin a weekend.
Local preventative maintenance you can actually rely on
Preventative plumbing maintenance is the cheapest insurance you'll buy. Our annual health-check covers every fixture in the house — taps, toilets, hot water unit, gas appliances, visible pipework, accessible drainage and the meter — and flags anything trending toward failure with a written report you can act on (or sit on) at your own pace.
We run scheduled annual maintenance for owner-occupiers, landlords (great for protecting investment properties from the slow-leak claims that get denied), and strata across Shellharbour, Wollongong and Kiama. Common findings: hot water unit approaching end-of-life (so you can budget for replacement instead of an emergency 2am swap), tap washers due before they start dripping, gas appliance servicing overdue, slow drain pre-blockage.
On commercial sites we add testable backflow annual testing, TMV annual testing for childcare and aged care, and a single after-hours contact number for tenants. Reports lodged electronically.
