Reliable Plumbing, Honest Service

What Our Customers Say

Why this page matters

When plumbing becomes safety-critical, compliance-heavy or technically complex, you need more than a “quick fix.” You need a licensed specialist who understands regulations, testing schedules, certification, and how to solve problems with minimal disruption and maximum longevity.

Craig Eveleigh Plumbing provides specialty plumbing for residential, strata, commercial and industrial properties across Logan, Brisbane Southside and Ipswich. With 35+ years’ experience, advanced diagnostic tooling, and 24/7 emergency response, we deliver compliance, safety and durable results—without fuss.

What counts as “Specialty Plumbing”?

Specialty plumbing covers regulated, higher-risk, or technology-led services where compliance, certification, and advanced diagnostics matter just as much as the repair itself. Typical examples include:

Throughout this page you’ll see the problem → risk → fix → compliance flow so you can understand why each service matters, what’s mandatory, and what to do next.

Compliance & Safety Essentials

Backflow Prevention & Annual Testing

The problem: Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows back into potable supply, typically due to cross-connections or pressure changes. Certain sites must have testable backflow devices installed and tested annually to protect the community water supply. Annual testing and local council registration are required in Queensland. Scenic Rim Regional Council

Risks of non-compliance:

  • Contamination incidents can lead to public health risks, council notices, and interruption of business/tenancy.
  • Missed testing can result in fines and urgent rectification.

Our solution:

  • Audit, locate and tag all testable devices, verify council registration and perform annual testing by a licensed plumber with backflow endorsement. We lodge reports per local requirements and calendarise the next due date for you. Scenic Rim Regional Council

Who needs this?
Food venues, medical and dental, schools and childcare, multi-residential sites with irrigation or fire services, industrial processes, body corporates, and any property with a testable device.

Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs)

The problem: Hot water at outlets can scald. TMVs blend hot and cold to a safe, consistent temperature—critical in healthcare, aged care, childcare, salons and other facilities serving vulnerable users. Australian Standard AS 4032.3 sets requirements for field testing and maintenance; in practice, TMVs are serviced/tested at least annually in Queensland facilities. Australian Standards Download+1

Public health context: Legionella risk management places a strong emphasis on hot water temperature control, monitoring and maintenance, especially in larger or higher-risk facilities. Queensland Health+1

Our solution:

  • Asset register of TMVs (locations, model/serial), annual testing to AS 4032.3, temperature verification at outlets, non-return checks, shut-off testing, reporting and defect rectification.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Safety for Gas Appliances

The problem: Faulty or poorly-ventilated gas appliances can leak carbon monoxide—a colourless, odourless gas that can cause serious harm. Queensland’s Petroleum & Gas Inspectorate regularly reminds households and businesses to be gas-safe and to use licensed technicians for servicing before using heaters and other appliances. rshq.qld.gov.au

Our solution:

  • Coordinate licensed gasfitters to conduct appliance servicing, venting checks and CO testing.

     

  • Recommend appropriately rated CO alarms in sleeping areas and high-risk zones.

     

  • Provide service records for your safety file.

RCD-Safety Switch Compliance (with electricians)

The problem: Residual Current Devices (RCDs, “safety switches”) save lives—but only if installed and tested. In Queensland workplaces, the Electrical Safety Regulation requires safety switches and testing at intervals per AS/NZS 3760 and the type of work being carried out. AustLII+1

Our solution:

  • For strata and commercial clients, we coordinate with licensed electricians to ensure RCD testing is completed alongside scheduled plumbing compliance—reducing site visits and downtime. (Plumbing team: we manage the compliance calendar and documentation.)

Fire Safety Plumbing Interface (Hydrants/Hose Reels)

The problem: Fire hydrants, hose reels and sprinklers are water-based fire-safety installations that must be maintained in accordance with QDC MP6.1 and AS 1851. Building owners/occupiers must keep maintenance records and use the prescribed Form 72 for periodic testing. housing.qld.gov.au+1

Our solution:

  • We partner with QBCC-licensed fire contractors to schedule hydrant/hose reel servicing (six-monthly, annual and five-yearly tasks under AS 1851) while co-ordinating any plumbing interfaces (isolation, valve repairs, backflow links, tank/booster connections).

Advanced Repair & Non-Invasive Technology

CCTV Drain Camera: find it once, fix it once

The problem: Hidden blockages, collapses, root intrusions and mis-levels can cause recurring backups.

Our solution: High-definition CCTV inspection to locate faults precisely, record video for insurance/compliance, and target the right fix (relining vs. local repair vs. replacement). This saves time, cost and excavation. (Pairs with jetting or cutting where needed.)

Pipe Relining & Patch Repairs

The problem: Traditional dig-and-replace is disruptive and costly—especially under slabs, driveways or fit-out.

Our solution: Non-invasive epoxy liner or sectional patch repairs restore structural integrity and flow without excavation. Ideal for strata risers, commercial stacks and retail fit-outs. We supply before/after footage and a warranty for peace of mind.

Electronic Leak Detection (Acoustic, Thermal, Tracer)

The problem: Undetected leaks waste water, inflate bills and undermine building fabric.

Our solution: We combine acoustic, thermal imaging and tracer techniques to pinpoint leaks through slabs, walls and grounds with minimal damage. We then isolate, repair, and pressure-test to verify resolution.

Water Pressure Regulation & Hammer Control

The problem: Excessive static pressure and water hammer damages fixtures, bursts flexi hoses, shortens appliance life and voids warranties.

What the standard says: AS/NZS 3500.1 governs water services; industry guidance (and regulators elsewhere in Australia) cite a maximum 500 kPa static pressure at outlets (non-fire). Pressure limiting valves are installed where supply pressure exceeds this limit. Standards Australia+1

Our solution: Onsite pressure audit, pressure limiting valve (PLV/PRV) selection and installation, hammer arrestors where appropriate, and post-install verification.

Commercial, Industrial & Property Management Solutions

Grease Traps & Trade Waste (Food Businesses)

The problem: Fats, oils and grease (FOG) entering the sewer cause blockages and breaches of council/utility rules. Trade waste approvals and grease arrestors (grease traps) are mandatory where food is prepared. logan.qld.gov.au+1

Our solution:

  • Assist with trade waste pre-treatment requirements for council/utility approval, select grease trap size/type, schedule pump-outs and service, and keep records to demonstrate compliance.

Stormwater Management & On-Site Detention (OSD)

The problem: Poor stormwater design or maintenance leads to property damage, erosion, and environmental breaches. Logan City Council provides guidance on stormwater responsibilities and pollution control. logan.qld.gov.au

Our solution:
Design review and upgrades (pits, channels, downpipes, sumps), roof drainage assessments, on-site detention advice, debris/leaf control, and preventative maintenance schedules. We document condition and provide rectification plans that align with local requirements.

Scheduled Maintenance & Compliance Calendars (Strata, Body Corporate, Facilities)

The challenge: Multiple assets with different testing intervals (e.g., backflow annually, TMVs annually, hydrants six-monthly/annual/five-yearly, RCDs per AS/NZS 3760 and work class) cause missed dates and penalties. AustLII+3Scenic Rim Regional Council+3crhplumbing.com.au+3

Our solution:
One partner to coordinate plumbing-led compliance with allied trades (fire/electrical), maintain asset registers, send due-date reminders, and deliver all certificates and council/utility lodgements.

Efficiency & Preventative Care

Roof Plumbing & Gutter Repairs

Storm seasons punish roofs. We repair and replace gutters, downpipes, flashings and penetrations, restore roof drainage function, and prevent property damage.

Water Efficiency Certificates for Rentals (RTA QLD)

The issue: In Queensland, landlords can only pass full water consumption charges to tenants if certain conditions are met—including that the property is “water efficient.” We inspect, upgrade (if needed) and issue documentation to support compliance. rta.qld.gov.au

What we check:

  • Individual metering, water-efficient fixtures (flow rates), and tenancy agreement clauses that permit water charging. We then document findings for your property management file.

Burst mains at 1 am? Gas odour? Sewage overflow in a food venue? Our licensed team provides rapid, after-hours support for complex, high-risk situations—triaging by phone, mobilising the right gear, and stabilising safely. Standard after-hours callouts are $300 + GST (transparent upfront).

FAQs

How often must my backflow devices be tested?

In Queensland, testable backflow devices must be tested annually by a licensed plumber with backflow endorsement, and councils maintain a device register. We handle both testing and lodgement. Scenic Rim Regional Council

TMVs should be field-tested and maintained regularly under AS 4032.3, and in practice are serviced annually to control scalding risk and support Legionella management. Australian Standards Download+1

Yes. We inspect for water efficiency and document compliance so your property can legitimately pass on water consumption (subject to RTA conditions such as individual metering and lease clauses). rta.qld.gov.au

RCD testing is electrical work, but we coordinate licensed electricians to complete it on the same cycle as your plumbing compliance. Queensland references AS/NZS 3760 for testing intervals based on the class of work. AustLII+1

You’ll get test sheets, certificates and photos/video (e.g., backflow test reports, TMV logs, CCTV files) and, where applicable, council/utility forms such as Form 72 (via our fire partners) for hydrant/hose reel maintenance. housing.qld.gov.au

Yes. We run a 24/7 emergency service. After-hours callouts are $300 + GST with transparent pricing, and we prioritise high-risk incidents.

Relining is a structural rehabilitation solution with excellent longevity when correctly specified. We provide warranties and video evidence of outcomes.

Yes. We build asset registers, align all due dates, coordinate backflow/TMV/fire/electrical tasks, and send reminders so nothing is missed.

 If you cook on site or discharge FOG to sewer, utilities and councils typically require trade waste approval and grease arrestors. We help with approvals and ongoing maintenance. urbanutilities.com.au+1

We stand behind our workmanship with a customer satisfaction guarantee and, where applicable, a 7-year waterproofing guarantee on renovation works.
