The truth is that most hot water system failures don’t happen overnight. They build up quietly over time, with small warning signs that often go unnoticed, until it’s too late.
Don’t wait for a cold shower or a costly emergency to act.
- Stay ahead with a professional check
- Avoid unexpected breakdowns
- Protect your home from potential damage
If your hot water system is over 8 years old, it could already be at risk.
Wear and tear on valves, internal corrosion, pressure issues, and minor leaks can all develop without obvious signs. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to:
- Sudden system failure
- Expensive emergency repairs
- Water damage to walls, floors, and surrounding areas
- Complete system replacement at the worst possible time
Just as importantly, older systems may no longer meet current safety and compliance requirements.
Modern regulations require critical safety components, like a Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve (TPRV), to be properly installed, tested, and functioning. This valve is designed to automatically release excess pressure or temperature to prevent dangerous build-up and must meet Australian Standard AS 1357.
For internally located systems, compliant drip trays are also essential. These trays must be made from non-corrosive materials, correctly sized to catch potential leaks, and connected to proper drainage to prevent water damage. Without these safeguards in place, or if they’ve deteriorated over time, the risk to your property increases significantly.
