Tailored strata plumbing maintenance plans for Illawarra owners corporations. Annual inspections, mandatory compliance testing, preventive servicing and priority emergency response — all documented for AGM and section 106 duty-of-care compliance.
A strata maintenance plan is a structured agreement between an owners corporation and a licensed plumber to provide scheduled inspections, preventive servicing, mandatory compliance testing and priority emergency response over a fixed term. For Illawarra strata buildings, a properly designed maintenance plan is the single most effective way for an owners corporation to meet its duty under section 106 of the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 to "properly maintain and keep in a state of good and serviceable repair the common property." Without a documented maintenance plan, committee members can be personally exposed to damages claims from lot owners affected by water damage where preventable maintenance was not performed. Plumbing Creations delivers strata maintenance plans tailored to building age, size, plant equipment and history. Plans typically include one comprehensive annual inspection of all common property plumbing, mandatory annual backflow prevention testing ($150-$300 per device), TMV servicing ($100-$200 per valve), fire hydrant booster compliance testing, scheduled drain cleaning of common stacks every 12-18 months, hot water plant servicing including anode replacement, gutter and stormwater inspections, and priority 24/7 emergency response with reduced callout rates for plan members. Each visit produces a detailed written report with photos, findings and prioritised recommendations submitted directly to your strata manager for the building file and AGM circulation. Beyond compliance, maintenance plans typically reduce total plumbing spend by 25-40% per year by preventing the emergency repairs that cost 4-8 times more than scheduled work. In Illawarra, strata maintenance plan pricing ranges from $1,500 per year for small strata schemes (5-10 lots) up to $25,000+ for large mixed-use buildings with extensive plant rooms.
Comprehensive yearly inspection of common property plumbing — water supply, drainage, hot water plant, fire hydrant boosters, gutters, downpipes, stormwater pits and visible pipework. Written report with prioritised recommendations.
Annual backflow prevention testing, TMV servicing and fire hydrant booster compliance — scheduled, performed and certificates lodged with Sydney Water and council on time, every time.
Hot water anode replacement, tap washer renewal, scheduled drain cleaning of common stacks, gutter cleaning, sump pump testing and other tasks that prevent failures before they happen.
Periodic CCTV inspection of common drainage stacks and sewer lines to identify deterioration, root intrusion and structural issues before they cause emergency overflow events.
Every visit produces a written report with photos, findings, completed work and recommendations. Reports are submitted directly to your strata manager for the building file and AGM circulation.
Maintenance plan members get priority dispatch for emergencies, discounted callout rates after hours, and a known plumber who already knows your building — saving time and reducing diagnosis costs.
