Plumbing Maintenance Checklist
For New & Existing Home Owners
Prevention is the key to maintaining the great condition of the plumbing in your new home. Below is a simple checklist you can use annually to check the well-being and working status of your plumbing.
1. Identify where your outside water connection is (Water Toby)
2. Look for signs of any leakage on taps or pipework/corrosion on the following:
- Kitchen taps (also check under sink for leaks)
- Bathroom taps (including under sink)
- Toilet pipework (including cistern, floor and cistern taps)
- Washing machine taps and pipework
- Laundry taps and pipework (including under sink)
- Hose taps
3. Check for clear drainage of all sinks and showers (or gurgling sounds)
4. Check water pressure from taps. Low pressure can be an indication of sediment build up. Never use caustic liquid drain cleaner as these can severely damage your pipes.
5. Hot water cylinders pipework can dry out resulting in leaking if pipework is knocked. Check for wet patches and other signs of leaking.
If you find signs of drips, leaks, blockages or corrosion, get in touch with JT to book in any plumbing maintenance work.

Amazing service, highly recommend for any projects you have!!Posted on Sophie GemmellFebruary 18, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Many thanks to the Team at JT Plumbing for the excellent service I recieved recently. I was particularly impressed with Plumber Phil who tended to a Kitchen Faucet issue in my home. He was so professional and explained clearly what was causing the issue, and how he remediated the problem. I also really appreciated his cheerful nature too. Just an additional note, I really appreciated how Phil promptly tended to my additional requests. Thank you so much Phil.Posted on Lynley DrainFebruary 16, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Not all companies have such a great emphasis on customer service. They are excellent to deal with from the person on the phone, through to the plumber that calls, right up to the manager. I only have the highest of praise for them in terms of customer service, reliability and good value for money. Not often you get an invoice which is less than you think! If you want really nice people to deal with, then I can recommend these guys.Posted on Cameron Speirs-HuttonJanuary 21, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shane came on super short notice and was awesome. Super quick, crossed every option off and found our leak, fixed, and it was all sorted. Cheers guys!Posted on Morgan SmithDecember 23, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest, knowledgeable and friendly people. They show up on time, do a great job and charge a fair price. Had several jobs done by them over a period and have been happy each and every time. Highly recommended.Posted on Matt KennedyDecember 5, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a fantastic experience with JT Plumbing Drainage & Gas. They installed a new cistern for me and did an absolutely outstanding job. Their customer service was excellent from the moment I called right through to the job being finished. They were professional, friendly, able to come on short notice, and completed the work quickly. The price was very reasonable, and they left everything spotless — even disposing of the old cistern and all the rubbish for me. Really impressed with the whole experience. JT Plumbing will be my go-to plumber from now on. Highly recommend!Posted on Nita TakiariNovember 30, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We have had J&T Plumbing with Grant do repairs at our home over the last couple of years. Recent time, we had a WasteMaster leak. Plumber Shane called in, and very quickly knew what the problem was. Went away and quickly returned with a new WasteMaster. Took a very short time to replace a check there was no leaks.He is super tidy and so polite. We Highly recommend J&T Plumbing and staff. To all.
