Plumbing Inspection Townsville
Comprehensive Inspections for Property Buyers
Purchasing a property is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make, so ensuring the plumbing system is in good condition is crucial. Plumbing inspections in Townsville are an essential part of the home-buying process, as they help identify potential plumbing issues that could lead to costly repairs down the track.
Whether you're purchasing a new home or an investment property, a thorough plumbing inspection provides assurance and ensures you know exactly what you're buying.
Why Plumbing Inspections Are Essential Before Purchasing a Property
Many buyers focus on the visible features of a property but often overlook the importance of a comprehensive plumbing inspection. Plumbing issues can be hidden, making it difficult to spot potential problems until it's too late. By having a plumbing inspection done before purchasing, you can avoid surprises such as blocked drains, burst pipes, or water damage that could be costly to fix later.
An inspection will help you identify problems like leaking water pipes, faulty hot water systems, or issues with your drainage system. This is especially important in Queensland, where plumbing systems are subject to specific regulations. With the help of experienced plumbers, you can uncover these issues early so you’re fully aware of the property’s true condition.

Plumbing Inspection Services We Offer
Our plumbing inspections cover many services to ensure your property is in the best condition before you buy. Our experienced plumbers use advanced technology, including high-definition CCTV cameras, to thoroughly inspect every aspect of the property’s plumbing system.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections of the Sewage System
We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to inspect the sewage system, allowing us to see the inside of pipes and drains. This helps us identify blockages and other issues like tree root intrusion.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections of the Stormwater System
Similar to the sewage system, we use CCTV cameras to inspect the stormwater system. This helps detect any damage in the stormwater drains, ensuring rainwater is diverted away from your property.
Condition Report of Pipes and Drainage
We provide a detailed condition report of your property's pipes and drainage systems. This report outlines the health of the pipes, identifying signs of wear, corrosion, and potential risks for leaks or blockages.
Hot Water Heater Check
We inspect for signs of leaking, inadequate heating, or faulty components, which could lead to inefficiency. A well-maintained hot water system ensures you don’t experience sudden temperature fluctuations.
Roof and Gutter Inspection
We inspect your roof and guttering system to ensure it’s free from blockages or damage that could cause water to back up or leak. We check for issues with the roofing iron, flashings, and downpipes.
Leaking Taps and Toilets
Leaking taps and toilets are common problems that can waste a significant amount of water over time. During the inspection, we check all taps, toilets, and taps to ensure they are not leaking.
Water Pressure Testing
We perform water pressure testing to ensure that the water flow throughout the property is optimal. Low water pressure can indicate problems such as blockages in the pipes or issues with the water supply system.
Rainwater Tank Inspection
If the property has a rainwater tank, we inspect its condition. This includes checking the filters, pipes, and water level sensors to ensure that rainwater is properly collected, stored, and usable.
Valves Check
We inspect all critical valves in the plumbing system, including the main water valve and those that control the hot and cold water supply. Faulty valves can cause issues such as water flow restrictions or leaks.
Water Compliance
We verify that the property’s plumbing system meets all water compliance standards, as required by local authorities. Compliance ensures your plumbing system is legally up to code.
Septic Tank Testing
For properties with a septic system, we conduct a thorough inspection and testing of the septic tank. This involves checking the system for functionality, proper drainage, and possible signs of failure or backup
