Before handover
A pre-settlement inspection: pressure, drains, hot water, gas commissioning and fixture quality, reported in writing so the builder fixes it before you take the keys.

Young Village Estate
Tullimbar Plumbing, for Homes Still Under Warranty
Tullimbar is a master-planned village on the inland side of Albion Park, about half an hour south of the Wollongong CBD, laid out with picket fences, a creek corridor and the escarpment as its backdrop. Most of it has been built in the last fifteen years and the newest streets are still being handed over.
A new home is not a finished home from a plumbing point of view. Handover is when small mistakes are cheapest to fix and still the builder's responsibility: drains laid with poor fall, missing insulation on hot water lines, pressure valves set wrong, gas appliances never commissioned properly. An independent inspection inside the defects period turns those into a list for the builder rather than a bill for you.

Tullimbar Stages
Three Moments When a New Home Needs Its Own Plumber
Inside the defects period
The niggles that appear in the first months: water hammer, slow drains, a lukewarm shower. Diagnosed independently and documented for the warranty claim.
After the warranty
From here on it is your plumbing. Fixed-price repairs, upgrades and the same honest advice, from a crew that already knows the estate's builders.
Found at Handover
Four Defects We Find Most in New Tullimbar Homes
Pressure valve missing or misadjusted
The single most common finding. Sets up water hammer and burst flexi hoses within a couple of years.
Drains with poor fall
Laid fast, laid flat. Slow to start, blocked within the year. Camera footage makes the warranty claim simple.
Hot water undersized or uninsulated
A tank chosen for the spec sheet, not the family, with bare pipe runs losing heat in the roof.
Gas appliances never commissioned
Cooktops connected but never pressure-tested or adjusted. We test, adjust and certify.

Inspections & leak detection
Water Pressure & Water Hammer
Pressure-limiting valves set wrong or missing, banging pipes and dribbling top-floor showers are the most common new-build faults we document and fix.
Pressure & water hammer
Hot Water Systems
Builder-spec systems are often the smallest that passes. We check the sizing and commissioning, and upgrade to heat pump or continuous-flow when the household outgrows it.
Hot water systems
Gas Fitting
Cooktops and heaters commissioned properly, outdoor kitchen bayonets added, LPG or natural gas, everything certified.
Gas fitting
Rainwater Tanks & Irrigation
Estate homes often come with a tank the builder connected to a single toilet. We extend it to laundry and garden, fix the pump and set up irrigation with backflow protection.
Tanks & irrigation
24/7 Emergency Plumber
New homes flood too, usually a flexi hose or a fitting that was never tightened. The southern crew, any hour, fixed price.

Tullimbar Reviews
Glad We Got It Checked
Rated 4.9 stars by customers on ProductReview.
“Pre-handover inspection found a missing pressure valve and a drain with no fall. The builder fixed both before settlement. Best few hundred dollars we spent on the whole build.”
AaronTullimbar, handover inspection
“Shower upstairs was lukewarm from day one. They proved the hot water was undersized and uninsulated, wrote it up, and the builder replaced it under warranty.”
MegTullimbar, warranty claim
“Water hammer since we moved in. Builder never fixed it. These guys found the cause in half an hour.”

Questions
Tullimbar New-Home Questions
What does a pre-handover plumbing inspection cover?
Static and flow pressure at the meter and outlets, a camera survey of the sewer and stormwater, hot water sizing, insulation and commissioning, gas pressure and appliance adjustment, and fixture quality. You get a written photo report the same day.
Can the builder refuse to fix what you find?
Defects inside the statutory warranty period are the builder's responsibility under NSW law. An independent report naming the standard each item fails makes that hard to argue with.
When should I book?
Before settlement if you can, and otherwise before your defects liability period closes. Call with the date and we schedule inside it.
We are past warranty. Are you still useful?
Yes. From then on it is normal fixed-price plumbing, and we already know the estate's builders and their habits, which shortens diagnosis.
I'm renting in Tullimbar. Can I book you?
Your landlord or property manager needs to make the booking. Send them our number and we'll take it from there.
