Updated: Oct 4, 2023

1. Check for signs of leaks

a) check all ceilings, walls, toilets, taps, hoses, and other fixtures - especially inside cupboards and under sinks

b) look out for water stains, mold, bad odors, corrosion, and holes


2. Test the water pressure and drainage

a) turn on taps in sinks, showers, baths, faucets, laundry, appliances

b) check for any slow-moving water/ low pressure

c) check that the water comes out smoothly and of a clear colour (no dirt)

d) check that the water drains efficiently and does not build up or slow down anywhere


3. Inspect toilets

a) make sure they flush correctly and cistern fills up afterwards

b) make sure there are no leaks around the unit

c) check for any loose/poor connections, wobbles, and corrosion


4. Inspect hot water system

a) check the system's ID plate for its age. A hot water system usually lasts to 12 years.

b) check for corrosion, rust, leaks, and poor connections and pipework


5. Check outdoor plumbing

a) check the condition of exterior hoses, taps, pipes, sprinklers, and drains

b) look for any suspicious wet patches in grass or concrete that may indicate a leak
