Inspection — with optional written report
Book a thorough plumbing health check for your home or business. Whether you need peace of mind or formal documentation for insurance, property managers, or legal disputes — our expert inspection covers it all.
The inspection finds the problem.
The report protects you.
For most homeowners, a verbal finding and repair quote is enough. But in certain situations, a written report is the difference between having a case and not having one.
🏠 Landlord & tenant disputes
A written report provides essential evidence of your prompt response to plumbing maintenance requests. Under the Residential Tenancies Act, having professional documentation is vital for protection at VCAT and proving the property meets required standards.
📄 Insurance claims
Most insurers require written evidence from a licensed tradesperson before approving water damage claims. Our report gives them exactly what they need.
🏢 Strata & body corporate
Avoid responsibility disputes with documented evidence. Our reports clearly identify the source of plumbing issues and determine liability, providing the clarity needed for shared property claims.
🔑 Pre-purchase due diligence
Don't guess the condition of the pipes before settlement. A professional report ensures you know exactly what you’re buying into — providing written peace of mind before you sign.
Who typically adds the report
The written report add-on is most useful in these situations — not every booking needs it.
Prompt Action: A tenant has reported a plumbing issue and you need to prove you acted promptly.
Insurance & VCAT: Your claim requires a licensed plumber’s written findings, or a VCAT dispute is possible/underway.
Property Sales: You want the full condition of an older property documented before selling.
Formal Records: The owner requires formal documentation or a clear paper trail for tenant complaints.
History & Consistency: You need to establish a documented history for recurring issues or maintain consistent records across multiple properties.
Claims & Disputes: You are making an insurance claim for water damage or have a dispute with a builder/previous owner.
Transparency: You want to accurately disclose the plumbing condition pre-sale.
Strata Issues: There is a dispute with the Body Corporate regarding the source of a plumbing problem.
Due Diligence: A building inspector flagged potential issues but couldn’t confirm the cause.
Negotiation: You need documented evidence of the plumbing system’s condition to negotiate a price reduction before settlement.
How it works, step by step
Inspection and written report are separate — you choose at booking whether you want both.
