Proactive Plumbing Maintenance Services
Think of your property’s plumbing system like the engine in your car. You wouldn’t drive it for years without a service, expecting it to run flawlessly forever. Your plumbing is no different. It works tirelessly behind the scenes, and without regular attention, small, unnoticed issues can escalate into catastrophic failures that cause immense stress, damage, and expense.
At Mid West Leak Experts, we believe the best approach to plumbing is a proactive one. We provide comprehensive routine plumbing maintenance and inspection services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties across Orange, Bathurst, Mudgee, Cowra, Lithgow, and the entire Central West NSW region. Our tailored maintenance plans are designed to save you money, prevent disasters, and give you complete peace of mind, knowing your property is protected.

The True Value: Why Preventative Maintenance is a Smart Investment
A routine maintenance plan is not an expense; it’s one of the wisest investments you can make in your property. By catching and addressing minor issues early, you unlock significant, long-term benefits.
- Avoid Costly Emergency Repairs: The cost of a scheduled maintenance visit is a tiny fraction of the expense of an after-hours emergency call-out for a burst pipe or a major sewer backup. We find and fix potential problems when they are small and inexpensive to repair.
- Prevent Catastrophic Water Damage: A slow, hidden leak or a corroded pipe joint can fail without warning, leading to extensive water damage to your floors, walls, ceilings, and precious belongings. Regular inspections identify these ticking time bombs before they go off.
- Extend the Life of Your Assets: Your hot water system, taps, and pipes are valuable assets. Just like any mechanical system, they last significantly longer with proper care and maintenance. We help you maximise the lifespan of your plumbing infrastructure, delaying costly replacements.
- Reduce Your Utility Bills: Small, persistent leaks from dripping taps, running toilets, or hidden pipe fissures can waste thousands of litres of water a year, driving up your water and energy bills. Our maintenance service identifies and eliminates this silent waste.
- Ensure Safety and Health: Our maintenance checks ensure your plumbing is not just functional, but safe. We inspect hot water systems for faulty valves that can pose a safety risk, check gas fittings for integrity, and help prevent the damp conditions that lead to unhealthy mould growth.
- Maintain Compliance (Commercial & Industrial): For our commercial and industrial clients, routine maintenance is essential for meeting regulatory requirements for things like TMV testing and backflow prevention, protecting you from fines and liability.
Our Comprehensive Plumbing Maintenance Checklist
When you book a maintenance service with Mid West Leak Experts, you receive a thorough, detailed inspection of your entire plumbing system. Our goal is to leave you with a complete picture of your plumbing health. Our checklist includes:
1. Comprehensive Visual Pipe Inspection: We visually inspect all accessible pipework, including under sinks, in the roof space, and around the exterior of the property, looking for early signs of corrosion, damage, or slow leaks.
2. Taps, Toilets, and Fixture Testing: We check every tap, showerhead, and fixture in your home or business for leaks and correct operation. We can replace worn washers on the spot to stop drips. We also test your toilets to ensure they are flushing correctly and not running constantly, which is a major source of water waste.
3. Hot Water System Health Check: Our technicians conduct a full inspection of your hot water system. This includes checking the sacrificial anode (which prevents corrosion), testing the temperature and pressure relief (TPR) valve for safe operation, and inspecting for any leaks or signs of tank degradation.
4. Water Pressure Assessment: Water pressure that is too high can put extreme stress on your pipes, joints, and appliances, leading to premature failure and burst hoses. We test your property’s water pressure to ensure it is within the safe, recommended range.
5. Drain Performance and Flow Test: We test all drains to ensure they are flowing freely. Slow-draining sinks or gurgling sounds can be early indicators of a developing blockage. Catching this early can prevent a complete and messy backup.
6. Hidden Leak Detection Sweep: Leveraging our core expertise, our technicians are uniquely skilled at spotting the subtle signs of hidden leaks that other plumbers might miss. We check your water meter and use our trained eyes to look for tell-tale signs of moisture where it shouldn’t be, providing an extra layer of protection.

Plumbing Maintenance FAQs
Making a smart investment in your property starts with having the right information. Here are the answers to key questions about our maintenance plans.
How often should I have my plumbing system professionally inspected?
For most residential properties, we recommend a comprehensive plumbing maintenance check once a year. For commercial and industrial properties with high usage, a bi-annual or even quarterly schedule may be more appropriate. We can recommend the ideal frequency for your specific property.
Is a routine maintenance plan really worth the cost?
Absolutely. When you consider the high cost of a single emergency plumbing bill, the expense of repairing water damage, or the money wasted on high utility bills from hidden leaks, a preventative maintenance plan almost always pays for itself many times over. It’s a small investment for significant peace of mind and financial protection.
What happens if you find a problem during a maintenance inspection?
If we identify an issue, we will show you exactly what we’ve found and explain the situation clearly. We will provide you with an upfront, fixed-price quote for the repair. For minor issues like replacing a washer, we can often do it on the spot. For larger issues, we will schedule the repair at a time that is convenient for you.
Can you create a custom maintenance schedule for our business or strata property?
Yes. We specialise in creating customised maintenance programs. We will consult with you to understand the specific needs, equipment, and compliance requirements of your property and create a schedule and checklist that provides the exact level of service you need.
