Protection from High Water Pressure
Many Canberra and Queanbeyan suburbs have water pressures exceeding 500kPa. 500kPa is the maximum allowable water pressure standard for modern homes in Australia.
High water pressure can cause excessive wear-and-tear on your plumbing pipes and fixtures.
Water pressure over 500kPa can also cause warranty issues and void your home insurance.

New Plumbing Installations
Unapproved plumbing installations or the installation of unapproved plumbing fixtures can be dangerous to your health and the safety of others.
Unapproved plumbing makes it hard to sell your home and will likely void your insurance if it fails. We can provide the right advice, approved plumbing work, and approved plumbing installations.

Drainage Systems
Taking shortcuts and misdiagnosing issues can have long-term financial and structural impacts.

We are experts in subsoil drainage systems that prevent dampness and water ingress. Read more about our Drainage System services.
Strata Plumbing Services
Many inexperienced plumbers misdiagnose issues in multi-unit plumbing systems. We can help with inspections, repairs and replacements for centralised hot water systems and commercial hot water heat pumps, or problems with common drainage systems and water leaks in common property.
Given the poor quality of building projects in Canberra, more buildings are leaking through their external walls than ever before.
Water from these leaks may travel far through the wall structure before it appears inside the building. We have the experts and the right equipment to trace these leaks back to their source.
