What Is A Water Efficiency Certificate QLD?

A Water Efficiency Compliance Certificate is issued after a licensed plumber conducts an audit to ensure the property meets the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) water efficiency standards. To charge a tenant for water usage in QLD, the property must hold an official Water Efficiency Certificate from an accredited plumber.

Our Sunshine Coast Plumbers can provide you with an audit and QLD Water Efficient Certificate from just $121.

Frequently Asked Questions

While store-bought drain cleaners may temporarily dissolve clogs, they can damage pipes over time. Some cleaners are caustic and highly corrosive, posing risks to both your plumbing and surfaces. It’s safer and more effective to consult a professional plumber who can clear your drains with the right tools.

Yes, we offer blocked drain clearing services for both residential and commercial properties. If you’re dealing with a blocked toilet at home or a clogged stormwater drain at your business, our team has the expertise to help.

The time it takes to clear a blocked drain depends on the severity of the blockage and the methods used. Minor blockages can be cleared in under an hour, while more complex issues, like collapsed pipes or tree root intrusion, may take longer. Our plumbers will assess the situation on arrival and give you an accurate estimate.

If your drain is completely blocked and water is backing up, it’s important to act quickly. Avoid using the sink, toilet, or shower, as this can cause water to overflow and cause water damage. Contact our team immediately for emergency drain clearing services. We’re available 24/7 to address any urgent plumbing issues.
