Water Efficiency Service

New South Wales & Queensland

Water Efficiency Service
  • About
  • Inclusions
  • Pricing
  • Legislation
The simplest way to ensure that a property is meeting the minimum standards set by the regulations in your state is with the Detector Inspector Water Efficiency service.

Why is water efficiency important?

Water is a precious resource and making sure properties use it efficiently is better for the environment, for tenants and for landlords.

In NSW and Queensland, landlords have to prove that their property complies with minimum water efficiency standards if they want to pass on water usage charges to their tenants.

Get the compliance certification you need with our water efficiency service

Our service was designed to check each property against the required standards for water efficiency in each state.

Servicing is carried out by one of our trained technicians using our advanced technology to ensure that they complete the service in strict accordance with the Australian Standards and relevant state-based legislation.
