The headland earns this service. Housing here filled out through the mid-century decades, and fittings from that stretch have worked a long time. At the last census, 32.6% of homes were owned outright and the median age was 53, so much of the plumbing has aged in place with its owners.
Our full Woody Point service list covers the repairs a check can recommend.
A Room by Room Plumbing Check
Five areas get covered: the fixtures, the flexi hoses, the isolation valves, the pipe we can see and the water meter.
Fixtures
We run each tap, cistern, shower and sink and watch how it behaves. A spout that drips, a basin slow to empty and a cistern still trickling after its flush all go on the list; a running cistern can become a toilet repair before we leave.
Flexi hoses
Each braided line under a basin, sink or cistern, and the pair feeding the washing machine, gets inspected for corrosion on the braid, for kinks and bulges, and for weeping at the ends. Anything worn gets flagged, and our flexi hose replacement service does the swap.
Isolation valves
Each shut-off gets closed and reopened, so a seized one shows up on a dry day rather than mid-flood.
Reachable pipe
Copper under floors and inside cabinets gets looked over for corrosion, damp and weeping joints. A cottage on Arthur Street with its original galvanised supply is exactly the sort of place where flow loss shows up during this pass.
The meter
We finish at the boundary with the meter test, the sharpest early warning of a hidden leak. A dial that moves when nothing is running hands the job to our leak detection team.
What a Health Check Catches Early
Four faults get found while they are still minor: dripping fittings, corroded hose connections, shut-offs that refuse to close, and a dial that keeps turning with every outlet off.
Why each one earns its spot:
A slow drip
, left alone, wastes thousands of litres in a year.
Rust on a braided line
means a burst is coming; caught now, the swap costs little.
A seized shut-off
means nobody can stop water when a line lets go.
A creeping dial
means water is escaping somewhere on your side of the boundary.
The money side is blunt. Every litre passing the dial lands on the owner's account, leaks included, and water lost through dripping taps or running cisterns never qualifies for a concealed-leak adjustment from Unitywater. A drip found early costs a washer; the same drip ignored costs a water bill.
What a Plumbing Check Does Not Certify
Three documents get mistaken for this visit, and none of them comes out of it.
Who issues each one:
A building inspection report
belongs to a licensed residential building inspector alone, and faults that show up afterwards sit outside what it covers.
A gas system compliance certificate
is issued by the gas worker who completes the installation, straight to the owner. Our gas compliance certificates page explains that side of the paperwork.
A council inspection
belongs to permit jobs, a new house for example, where the plumbing inspector closes out the file after the last stage.
Our report tells you the condition we found on the day. No pass mark, no certificate, no promises about next year.
Owners, Landlords and Long Trips
Queensland's plumbing law puts the duty on owners: do what is reasonable to keep the plumbing and drainage at your premises in good condition and working properly.
A visit from a licensed plumber is the easiest way to show that effort. Three moments suit a check well:
Between tenants
Queensland's tenancy rules require rental premises handed over in good repair and kept that way, and a documented baseline at the door protects both sides.
Before a long trip
Turning off the boundary tap stops a leak billing you while nobody is home, and a check first confirms the tap actually turns.
As fittings age
With so many homes held by the same owners for decades, the plumbing ages quietly alongside them, and a periodic look keeps surprises rare.

Health Check Questions
Call (07) 3523 7172What is a plumbing health check?
The check walks the whole house: taps, toilets and showers, braided hoses, shut-off valves, reachable pipe and the meter. You get a written account of how everything stands that day, and no certificate comes from it.
How long does a plumbing health check take in Woody Point?
The time depends on the size of the home, the number of fixtures, access under benches and to the meter, and the wait the meter test needs. Follow-up work is priced by fixed quote first.
Is a plumbing check the same as a building inspection?
No, a building inspection report is a separate document, written only by a licensed residential building inspector, and faults that show up later sit outside its cover. Our check stays on the plumbing itself.
Does a plumbing check include a gas compliance certificate?
No, that certificate belongs to gas work: the gas worker who completes the installation issues it to the owner. A health check involves no gas work, so it never produces one.
Can I test my own Unitywater meter for a leak first?
Yes, switch off everything that draws water, write down the full meter reading with the red digits included, and read it again after an hour of no use anywhere. Any movement suggests a leak for a licensed plumber to chase.
