Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our maintenance plumbing service.
What is included in a preventative maintenance plan?
Plans are customised to your facility but typically include some combination of: backflow prevention device testing and certification, TMV testing and servicing, high-pressure drain jetting, CCTV drain inspection, hot water system servicing, gas safety inspections, and tap and fixture maintenance. We build the plan around your compliance obligations and asset register.
Is TMV testing legally required in Queensland?
Yes — for many commercial and regulated facilities. Under AS/NZS 3500.4, thermostatic mixing valves installed to control scald risk must be regularly serviced and tested. This is mandatory for aged care facilities, childcare centres, hospitals, schools and similar environments. Failure to maintain TMVs can expose facility operators to serious liability in the event of a scalding incident.
How often does backflow prevention need to be tested?
Annual testing is required under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018 (Qld) for all registered backflow prevention assemblies. Test certificates must be submitted to the relevant water authority (Queensland Urban Utilities, Logan Water, Unitywater, etc.). We track your due dates and submit all required documentation on your behalf.
How much does a preventative maintenance plan cost?
Costs depend on your facility size, the number of assets and the services required. Most commercial clients find that a planned maintenance program costs significantly less per year than a single emergency call-out plus the associated damage or compliance penalties. Contact us for a site audit and flat-rate quote tailored to your property.
Can you take over maintenance from our existing plumber?
Yes. We regularly take over maintenance contracts from other providers. We will conduct a site audit, document all existing assets and compliance status, and build a plan from there — identifying any overdue certifications or outstanding issues at the outset.
Do you service strata and multi-tenancy buildings?
Yes. We work with strata managers, property managers and body corporates to deliver scheduled maintenance across common areas and shared infrastructure — including shared hot water plants, fire service isolation valves, drainage systems and backflow devices.
What industries do you provide maintenance plans for?
We maintain plumbing infrastructure for aged care facilities, childcare centres, schools and universities, retail shopping centres, commercial real estate, property management portfolios, student accommodation, hospitality venues and civil/industrial sites across South-East Queensland.

Prevention vs reactive — the real cost
Emergency call-outs, compliance fines and water damage claims cost far more than the scheduled work that prevents them. The numbers are hard to argue with.
| Scenario | Reactive cost | Preventative cost | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency drain unblock (after-hours) | $450–$800+ | $180–$280 Scheduled high-pressure jet | Up to 65% |
| Hot water system replacement (failed anode) | $1,800–$3,500 | $180–$250 Annual anode replacement | Up to 92% |
| Water authority fine (missed backflow cert) | $500–$2,000+ | $140–$220 Annual compliance test | Up to 89% |
| Burst fitting (undetected drip) | $600–$4,000+ | $80–$120 Annual tap & valve service | Up to 97% |
| TMV non-compliance (scalding incident) | Insurance + legal exposure | $95–$160 per valve Annual TMV service & cert | Liability avoided |
Indicative costs for South-East Queensland commercial properties. Actual costs vary by site and scope.
