Ensure Your Rental Property Meets NSW Water Efficiency Standards

If you’re a landlord or property manager in Lake Macquarie, a valid Water Efficiency Certificate is required before you can legally pass water usage charges on to tenants.

GME Plumbing provides professional Water Efficiency Certificate inspections across Lake Macquarie and surrounding Newcastle suburbs. As a trusted plumber in Lake Macquarie, we assess your property, ensure it meets NSW water efficiency standards and issue compliant documentation quickly and efficiently.

What Is A Water Efficiency Certificate?

A Water Efficiency Certificate confirms that your rental property meets the NSW minimum water efficiency requirements under residential tenancy legislation.

To be compliant, your property must:

Have no leaking taps or toilets
Meet maximum flow rate requirements for internal taps and showerheads
Have compliant toilets (dual flush with correct performance standards)

Without certification, landlords cannot legally pass water usage charges to tenants.

Full inspection of taps, toilets, and showerheads
Flow rate testing and verification
Minor adjustments or repairs to achieve compliance

Compliance report for your records or property manager

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mother in law is a pensioner. She was quoted many thousands of dollars for work that she was told was urgent and if not remedied would cause far more expensive damage. The 1st plumber then charged almost $400 for the camera and an attempted water pressure clearance. We contacted GME plumbing who asked a great deal of questions to qualify the work. We emailed with more detail, the contact and conversation was professional and immediate. Danielle arranged a visit 3 days later and had the drain cleared, no mess, no damage to gardens or ripping up the yard for less than 10% of the original quote. You hear so many stories of plumbers ripping people off but these guys are genuine.
