Every litre of water wasted is money lost. Dripping taps, leaking toilets, and outdated fixtures don’t just impact your utility bill — they waste one of our most precious resources.

At Craig Eveleigh Plumbing, we offer comprehensive water efficiency checks for homes, rental properties, and businesses in Logan, Brisbane Southside, Ipswich, and surrounding suburbs.

Whether you’re a landlord needing compliance certification, a homeowner looking to cut costs, or a property manager wanting peace of mind, we’ll make sure your property meets Queensland’s water efficiency standards — and operates at peak performance.

Why Water Efficiency Checks Matter

Water efficiency checks aren’t just about saving money — they’re about protecting your property and ensuring you meet legal requirements.

Our licensed plumbers carry out detailed inspections of taps, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to confirm compliance and provide peace of mind for homeowners, landlords, and renters.

For Homeowners

Regular water efficiency checks help identify hidden leaks, dripping taps, or inefficient fixtures before they drive up your water bill. Our licensed plumbers assess taps, toilets, and showerheads to ensure your home is compliant and cost-effective. By maintaining efficiency, you’ll extend the life of your plumbing system and prevent expensive emergency repairs.

Landlord & Property Managers

Under RTA Queensland regulations, landlords may only pass on water usage charges if the property meets water efficiency standards. Our certified water efficiency checks provide official documentation to protect you from disputes with tenants. We test all fixtures, supply compliance reports, and ensure your property is in top condition to avoid plumbing emergencies.

For Renters

Tenants shouldn’t be left paying for water lost through inefficient plumbing. A water efficiency inspection may protect you from unfair charges and confirm that the property is compliant. By requesting a professional check, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that taps, toilets, and fittings meet efficiency standards.

Our Proven Water Efficiency Check Process

We don’t just “tick boxes” — our checks are detailed, accurate, and designed to fix problems on the spot.

Initial Site Inspection
We assess every water-using fixture in your property — taps, toilets, showers, appliances, and meters.

Using specialised tools, we measure the water flow from taps and showerheads to ensure they meet QLD water efficiency standards (max 9 litres per minute for showers, 6.5 litres per flush for toilets).
Leak Detection
We check visible and hidden plumbing for leaks — including walls, under floors, and underground — using proven diagnostic methods.
On-the-Spot Adjustments & Repairs
We can replace washers, adjust cisterns, or install water-saving devices immediately to bring fixtures into compliance.
Official Certification
We provide an RTA-compliant Water Efficiency Certificate for landlords and property managers, allowing you to legally pass on water usage costs.

Typical Problems We Detect During Water Efficiency Checks

When our licensed plumbers carry out a water efficiency inspection, we often uncover hidden issues that may be costing you money and wasting thousands of litres of water each year. Some of the most common problems include:

Dripping Taps: A single dripping tap may waste over 20,000 litres of water annually. Our plumbers test and repair washers, cartridges, and fittings to stop unnecessary water loss and reduce your bills.
Leaking Toilets: Toilets are one of the biggest culprits of hidden leaks. We check for silent leaks in the cistern, faulty seals, or worn valves that may cause constant water trickling without you noticing.
Excessive Flow Rates from Showers: Showers that aren’t fitted with water-saving devices may use more than double the recommended flow rate. During a water efficiency check, we measure the output and recommend or install efficient showerheads that save water without reducing pressure.
Undetected Underground Leaks: Pipes beneath the surface may develop leaks that are impossible to see but quickly escalate into major water loss and damage. Using professional testing methods, we can identify and fix underground leaks before they cause costly repairs.
Old Fixtures Wasting Water: Outdated taps, toilets, and fittings often fail to meet modern water efficiency standards. By replacing these with approved water-saving fixtures, you may not only save money but also ensure your property meets compliance for rental agreements.
