Why Would I Need to Get a Plumbing Report?
Whether you’re buying a home, renovating, or experiencing issues with water flow, a professional plumbing report can provide essential insights into the condition and safety of a property’s plumbing system. A plumbing issue hidden behind the walls or underground can lead to serious damage—and unexpected repair costs.
In this blog, we explore when and why you need a plumbing report, and how it can protect your investment.
What Is a Plumbing Report?
A plumbing inspection report is a detailed assessment of a property’s internal and external plumbing system. It’s carried out by a licensed plumber or inspector and typically includes checks of:
-
Water pressure and pipe integrity
-
Hot water systems
-
Drainage and sewer lines (often with camera inspection)
-
Tapware, fixtures, toilets, and water metres
-
Signs of leaks, corrosion, or water damage
When Would I Need a Plumbing Report?
1. When Buying a Property
A pre-purchase plumbing inspection gives you peace of mind by uncovering hidden plumbing issues before settlement. It’s often combined with building and pest inspections.
2. Before or After Renovations
Planning a kitchen or bathroom renovation? A plumbing condition report helps assess whether your current system can support the upgrade. After major work, it confirms compliance and quality of installation.3. When Experiencing Plumbing Issues
Low water pressure, blocked drains, or strange smells can be signs of bigger issues. A diagnostic plumbing report uses pressure testing or CCTV drain cameras to identify the root cause.
4. To Support Insurance Claims or Council Requirements
If your property has been affected by water damage, flooding, or burst pipes, insurers or councils may require an official licensed plumbing report.
