**The Paddocks Plumbing FAQ** (Frequently Asked Questions)

**Q: Who is responsible for plumbing inside my unit versus common property?**

A: Generally, pipes and fixtures inside your unit are your responsibility. **Shared water supply, main drainage lines, and structural components** (like slabs) are usually the **Body Corporate’s** responsibility. Our diagnostic reports help clarify the dividing line.

**Q: Why is a geyser CoC mandatory for insurance claims at The Paddocks?**

A: The **Certificate of Compliance (CoC)** certifies that the geyser installation meets all safety and regulatory standards. Insurance companies require this to validate claims arising from geyser failure. We provide this with every replacement.

**Q: I have a high water bill but no visible leak. What’s the next step?**

A: You likely have a **hidden leak**. We use non-invasive **acoustic leak detection** to accurately locate the leak under the concrete slab or internal pipework, resolving the issue without unnecessary damage.

**Q: Are you familiar with the complex’s security and access rules?**

A: Yes. We routinely work in high-security estates and complexes like The Paddocks and are trained to adhere to all security, access, and noise regulations.
