What’s Included

Site Assessment

We begin with a full walkthrough of your property’s plumbing and water systems:

• Check connection type (city, rainwater, bore, greywater).

• Review of internal plumbing layout, fixtures, and fittings.

• Review of hot water systems and potential inefficiencies.

Water Consumption Analysis

We’ll review your water usage history and compare it to local benchmarks:

• Examine water bills over the past 12 months.

• Identify seasonal spikes or unusual consumption patterns.

• Calculate your average daily usage in litres per person/day.

Fixture & Appliance Inspection

We assess every major water-using device for performance and compliance with WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme) standards:

• Toilets, taps, and showers tested for flow rate and efficiency.

• Washing machines and dishwashers checked for WELS rating and performance.
