SAFETY
INSPECTIONS
Check the small things.
Before they become big problems.
Plumbing safety issues often build quietly – a worn flexi hose, a leaking valve, an ageing hot water system or a pressure problem that goes unnoticed until damage occurs.
A Wagtail Plumbing safety inspection is designed to identify risks early and give you practical advice about what needs attention.
It’s a calm, preventative way to protect your home, investment property, strata building or commercial space.
Common Safety Risks We Check
Plumbing safety inspections may identify:
- Corroded flexi hoses
- Leaking taps, toilets or valves
- High or inconsistent water pressure
- Ageing hot water systems
- Tempering valve issues
- Signs of hidden leaks
- Drainage concerns
- Poor previous plumbing work
- Non-compliant installations
- Worn fixtures and fittings
Small issues can become expensive if they are left unchecked.
Signs You May Need A Safety Inspection
A safety inspection may be worthwhile if:
- You have recently purchased a property
- Your home or building is older
- You manage a rental or strata property
- Your water bill has increased unexpectedly
- Fixtures are leaking or wearing out
- Hot water performance has changed
- You have not had plumbing checked in years
- You are planning renovations
- You want to reduce the risk of emergency repairs
If you are unsure what needs attention, an inspection gives you clarity.
