Expert Plumbing Inspections for Roof Leaks, Drainage Problems & Pre-Purchase Reports.
Roof leaks, stormwater drainage issues, and poor plumbing workmanship can lead to serious water damage—and expensive repairs. At Plumbing Compliance Solutions, we specialise in identifying the root cause of plumbing issues before they escalate.
Whether you're dealing with recurring leaks, unexplained moisture, or blocked stormwater drains, our detailed plumbing inspection reports provide the clarity you need. We also offer pre-purchase plumbing inspections to help buyers avoid costly surprises before committing to a property.
We can also detect non-compliant roof plumbing—before the builder disappears or signs off—helping you hold them accountable and avoid being stuck with expensive rectification costs later.
As a licensed plumber (Lic. 44505) and proud Member of Master Plumbers, we deliver accurate, easy-to-understand reports suitable for homeowners, property buyers, builders, and legal professionals. Whether you're lodging an insurance claim, resolving a VCAT plumbing dispute, or simply seeking peace of mind, we’re here to help.

We provide clear, defensible plumbing reports that support your clients’ cases in a professional and impartial manner. Our reports are tailored to meet the expectations of VCAT members, legal representatives, and opposing experts, ensuring that the evidence we present is both technically accurate and easily understood—whether by a tribunal or in mediation.
Our experience working with legal teams means we understand what matters most in a dispute: objectivity, clarity, and credibility. Each report is structured to clearly outline plumbing defects, causes of water ingress, and non-compliance issues, backed by photographic documentation and relevant codes or standards.
We are also available for expert witness testimony should your case proceed to hearing. Our Director, Anthony Hunter, has over 25 years’ plumbing experience and is confident presenting findings under cross-examination when required.
