FAQ
plumbing maintenance faqs for lismore homeowners
How often should plumbing maintenance be performed in Lismore?
We recommend comprehensive plumbing inspections at least annually for most properties, with additional checks after major storm events or flooding. Given our Northern Rivers climate with its high rainfall and humidity, more frequent seasonal inspections—particularly before and after the wet season—help prevent weather-related damage.
Backflow prevention devices require annual testing and certification as mandated by Rous County Council. Hot water systems benefit from servicing every 12-18 months, while septic systems typically need pumping every 3-5 years depending on usage.
What does a typical plumbing maintenance visit include?
A standard maintenance visit includes inspection of all visible pipes and fixtures for leaks and corrosion, testing water pressure, checking hot water system operation and safety devices, clearing accessible drains, and inspecting gutters and downpipes.
We test all taps and toilets for efficient operation, inspect washing machines connections, and check any gas fitting for safety. You’ll receive a written report detailing our findings and recommendations for any required repairs or replacements.
Do you offer emergency plumbing services outside of maintenance?
Yes, our team provides fast response times for emergency plumbing situations including burst pipes, blocked drains, gas leaks, and hot water system failures. Our maintenance clients receive priority scheduling for emergencies.
Regular maintenance significantly reduces emergency call-outs—most emergencies we attend could have been prevented with routine inspections. When you’re on a maintenance plan, we catch potential problems early, before they become urgent situations.
