Catch the Leak Before It Costs You Thousands.
Most water damage isn't discovered until it's already expensive. A failing grout line, cracked silicone, or slow kitchen bench ingress — left undetected, these become structural repair bills. Our structured inspection plans bring a qualified technician to your property on a scheduled basis to inspect every wet area, document the condition, and flag anything that needs attention before it escalates.

Written report on every visit. Bathrooms, kitchens & laundries covered. PM agencies, aged care & hotels welcome.
Hidden Leaks Lead to Costly Damage
A leaking shower or wet area is rarely visible until the damage is already extensive. Water penetrating through grout lines moves behind tiles into the wall cavity — travelling along timber framing, saturating insulation, and promoting mould growth before a single visible sign appears. By the time it announces itself, rectification costs are far higher than they would have been at the first signs of failure.
What happens without regular inspection
- Grout cracks silently — water enters the wall cavity for months before any surface sign appears
- Silicone pulls away from tile edges letting moisture behind tiles
- Kitchen bench silicone degrades from cooking moisture — ingress around sink and splashback goes unnoticed
- Laundry wet areas deteriorate from appliance use and humidity — often the last area anyone checks
- By the time damage is visible, timber framing and substrate may already be compromised
What we check on every inspection
- All grout lines — condition, cracking, discolouration
- Silicone joins at all corners, perimeters, and movement points
- Tile face condition — cracks and hollow tiles
- Adjacent wall and floor surfaces for moisture indicators
- Shower base, hob, and drain area
- Kitchen benchtop silicone joins, grout lines, ingress from cooking
- Laundry wet area silicone, grout, and appliance surrounds
- Water staining, discolouration, and early-stage failure indicators

About the written report
Every inspection concludes with a written condition report. For property managers, landlords, and commercial facilities, this serves as a documented record of the wet area condition at a specific point in time — useful for tenancy transitions, insurance, and compliance records.
Built for Every Type of Property Owner
Homeowners
Peace of mind that your wet areas are professionally monitored once a year — and documented evidence of condition if you ever need it for sale or insurance.
Property Managers
A technician at every quarterly routine inspection across your portfolio — consistent documentation your landlords will value and your agency can stand behind.
Aged Care, Hotels & Motels
Twice-yearly compliance-grade inspections for every wet area. Keeps maintenance registers current, supports insurance claims, and demonstrates due diligence.
Inspection Plan FAQs
How often should I have my wet areas inspected?
It depends on the property type. For homeowners, once a year is sufficient to catch problems at an early stage. For rental properties under a Property Manager Plan, our technician attends at every quarterly routine PM inspection — every 3 months. For aged care facilities, hotels, and motels under our Commercial Plan, inspections are scheduled every 6 months — twice a year — aligned with your internal maintenance cycles.
What happens if the inspection finds a problem?
We document the finding in the written report with a clear description and severity rating — Monitor, Address Soon, or Urgent. If a repair is recommended, we'll provide a quote at the same visit or shortly after — there's no obligation to proceed. For ongoing plans, issues identified at one visit are tracked at the next, so you can see whether something is stable or worsening.
Can the inspection report be used for real estate or insurance purposes?
Our written reports document the condition of wet areas at the time of inspection and provide useful supporting documentation for pre-purchase, pre-sale, landlord insurance claims, and property maintenance due diligence. Please note: our inspections are visual only. For flood testing or pressure testing to confirm concealed leaks, a qualified plumber may be required — this will be noted in the report where applicable.
Do you inspect areas other than the shower?
Yes — every inspection covers all wet areas of the property. Bathrooms and showers are the primary focus, but we also inspect kitchen benchtops (silicone joins, grout lines, and early ingress indicators from cooking and moisture around the sink and splashback) and laundry wet areas (silicone condition, grout, surfaces around appliances and trough).
How do I set up a Property Manager Plan across my portfolio?
Contact us directly with your portfolio size and current inspection calendar. We'll put together a proposal with coordinated scheduling timed to match your existing quarterly inspections, consistent reporting formats, and bulk pricing per property. Many PM agencies find it easiest to run a block of inspections at the start of each quarter — we can accommodate that.
What does the Commercial Plan cover for aged care or hotels?
The Commercial Plan is a twice-yearly inspection programme — every 6 months — for facilities with multiple wet areas to manage. Each visit covers every relevant wet area per room, suite, or unit, with a written report formatted for maintenance registers, compliance records, and insurance purposes. We schedule around your occupancy and operational requirements.
What is included in the written report?
Each report includes a condition summary of all wet areas, specific findings per room for bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen, grout and silicone condition assessment, identified failure points with severity ratings, recommended actions, and the date of inspection. For ongoing plans, reports are structured to allow comparison across visits so condition trends can be tracked over time.
