For a body corporate or managing agent, reactive-only plumbing is a budget killer — emergency callouts, water damage and angry tenants. Planned maintenance turns that chaos into a predictable, documented, lower-cost routine. Here is how to approach it.
Why planned beats reactive
Emergencies always cost more than prevention, and they always happen at the worst time. A maintenance schedule catches problems early, keeps documented compliance records, and spreads cost predictably across the year — see maintenance contracts.
What to schedule
- Quarterly: mechanised drain jetting of kitchen, ablution and grease lines
- Annually: geyser and valve servicing (T&P, vacuum breakers, trays)
- Regularly: water-meter and pressure checks, leak-detection sweeps
- Every visit: a documented report with photos for your records
The compliance angle
Managing agents need paperwork for levies, insurance and audits. Documented maintenance with photographs supports levy recovery and insurance claims, and keeps the body corporate covered — see commercial plumbing.
One contractor, both trades
Because we handle plumbing and electrical in-house, a managing agent deals with one accountable contractor and one invoice — no coordinating between trades when a geyser, pump and DB board all need attention.
