WHY YOU NEED REGULAR COMMERCIAL PLUMBING MAINTENANCE
Commercial plumbing preventative maintenance programs
A commercial plumbing preventative maintenance program is a planned schedule of inspections and servicing for your site. Rather than waiting for something to stop working, we check your systems regularly, service key equipment and fix small issues while they’re still quick and simple.
What a program includes
Every program is built around your building, but most include:
Checking taps, toilets, urinals and fixtures for wear and leaks
Inspecting hot water units, including temperature and pressure relief valves
Testing backflow prevention devices
Servicing thermostatic mixing valves in healthcare, aged care and education settings
CCTV inspections of sewer and stormwater drains
Checking pumps, valves and pressure across the water supply
Grease trap checks for commercial kitchens
Inspecting gas lines and appliances for safe operation
How often we inspect
Most sites suit quarterly or six-monthly visits. Busier buildings such as aged care homes, shopping centres and large kitchens often prefer more frequent checks.
Some items also have their own set timing. For example, Yarra Valley Water requires testable backflow devices to be tested every 12 months, with the results sent to them. We build these dates into your program, so nothing is missed.
Clear reporting after every visit
After each service, you’ll receive a written report covering what we checked, what we found and anything we recommend. We include photos where they help and list recommendations in order of priority, so you can plan repairs around your budget.
Over time, these reports build a full service history for your site, which is useful for compliance records, insurance and future planning.
Scheduled service plans
A scheduled service plan puts your commercial plumbing system maintenance on a set calendar. We agree on the visit dates with you upfront, work around your trading or operating hours, and send a reminder before each visit.
Plans can cover a single building or a portfolio of sites, and they can grow as your needs change. Regular visits also mean our plumbers get to know your site well, making any repairs faster and easier.
For specialist work, we can bring in our hydraulic services in Melbourne, our commercial drainage contractors or our team for commercial gas repairs.
