FAQs
What types of commercial properties in Cowan do you service for routine plumbing maintenance?
We look after a wide range of sites including offices, retail shops, restaurants, cafés, industrial workshops, schools, medical centres, strata complexes and aged-care facilities. Our technicians are fully licensed to carry out all routine and preventative plumbing works that NSW Health, Sydney Water and local council regulations require for each property type.
How often should a commercial plumbing system be inspected or serviced?
Most sites benefit from a quarterly inspection, but the ideal frequency depends on water usage, business hours and risk profile. For example, food venues with grease traps may need monthly checks, while low-occupancy office buildings might only need six-monthly visits. We start with a site audit and then create a schedule that meets Australian Standards, manufacturer warranties and any specific insurer or council compliance requirements.
What does your routine maintenance program include?
A typical visit covers: • full visual inspection of pipework for leaks or corrosion • water pressure and flow testing • temperature and thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) calibration • backflow prevention device testing and certification • inspection and cleaning of floor wastes, traps and grates • roof, gutter and downpipe clearing • hot-water plant servicing (including tempering valves and circulation pumps) • grease trap, pump pit and sewer plant maintenance where applicable • written asset report with photos and recommendations for any remedial works.
Can routine maintenance really prevent costly emergencies?
Yes. Around 70 % of the emergency call-outs we attend in Cowan could have been avoided with regular maintenance. Small issues such as a minor pin-hole leak, blocked condensate line or failing valve often give early warning signs. Catching them during a scheduled service avoids burst pipes, flooding, business downtime and expensive after-hours rates. Our preventive approach extends the life of your plumbing assets and keeps you compliant with WHS obligations.
Do you offer after-hours or weekend maintenance visits?
Absolutely. We understand that shutting down a café at lunchtime or an office during trading hours is not practical. Our team can schedule maintenance before 7 am, after 5 pm or on weekends and public holidays at no extra call-out fee for clients on a maintenance agreement. This minimises disruption to staff and customers while still keeping your plumbing in peak condition.
How much does a routine maintenance plan cost and will it save my business money?
Costs vary with the size and complexity of the plumbing system, but most plans start from around $220 per scheduled visit for small commercial tenancies. Larger facilities with plant rooms, pumps and multiple amenities naturally cost more, yet they usually see a 25–40 % reduction in reactive repairs and water bills over 12 months. We provide a fixed annual quote up-front, so you can budget confidently and avoid surprise breakdown expenses.
