💧 Water damage is the #1 home insurance claim in Australia.

A recent QBE report revealed:
24% of all household insurance claims (2018–21) were for water damage
The average claim was $5,000
Some claims were more than $500,000

And yet… 1 in 5 people put off maintenance because of the cost.
But here’s the kicker, deferring plumbing maintenance often ends up costing far more in repairs and insurance claims.

In Adelaide, many apartments, units and homes built over 50 years ago are still running on ageing plumbing systems, making them especially vulnerable.

Regular checks, small repairs, and preventative maintenance can be the difference between a minor fix and a financial disaster.

✅ Fact: Regular maintenance can save you thousands (and plenty of headaches).

Here’s why proactive plumbing checks matter:
🔘 Small leaks can waste thousands of litres of water a year
🔘 Flexible hoses (the #1 cause of water damage claims) often fail without warning
🔘 Hot water systems last longer with regular flushing and servicing
🔘 Blocked drains and tree root intrusions are easier to fix early

Waiting until there’s an emergency can mean costly repairs, insurance claims, or even structural damage to your home.

Why plumbing inspections matter: Most homes should be inspected once a year, but for older houses or units with dated plumbing, it’s smart to book a check-up every six months.

Here’s what a James Smith Plumbing inspection covers:
🔘 Pressure testing water lines – catching leaks & blockages early
🔘 CCTV checks – inspecting sewer & stormwater lines if required
🔘 Flexible hose review – replacing worn hoses in toilets & sinks
🔘 Hot water servicing – including flushing to improve efficiency
🔘 Underground drainage checks – spotting hidden risks before they become expensive

A quick inspection can save thousands in water damage repairs... and a whole lot of stress.

A: It depends on your home, but most Adelaide properties should have their plumbing checked at least once a year.

Why? Because our city's hard water, shifting clay soils, ageing pipes and thirsty tree roots can quietly cause big problems over time.
