Water Survey & Assessment
Most water problems are diagnosed backwards: equipment is bought first and the actual requirement is worked out afterwards. A water survey reverses that. We look at how much water your property uses, where it comes from, what condition it is in and where it is being lost, so that any recommendation is based on your property rather than a catalogue.
What a water assessment can determine
- Current water usage — realistic daily and peak demand for the property
- Water pressure — whether pressure and flow match how the property is used
- Storage requirements — how much buffer the property actually needs
- Water sources — municipal, borehole, rainwater or a combination
- Water quality — what testing is needed and what the results mean
- Irrigation requirements — how much of the demand is landscape-driven
- Potential water-loss areas — leaks, ageing pipework and inefficient fittings
- Backup requirements — how long the property needs to run during an interruption
- Suitable treatment solutions — matched to source and intended use
Who benefits from a survey
Homeowners planning a borehole or backup system, estates and complexes managing shared infrastructure, farms balancing irrigation against household use, and commercial properties that cannot afford an unplanned water interruption. It is also the sensible first step before any large water-related spend.
What you receive
A clear written summary of what was found, the options available to address it, and what each option would realistically achieve. Where testing is required, we explain which tests matter for your intended use.
How it works
The water surveys process
A structured sequence so that what gets installed matches what the property actually needs.
- 01
Brief
You tell us what prompted the enquiry and how the property is used.
- 02
Site walkthrough
We inspect sources, storage, pumps, pressure, pipework and irrigation on site.
- 03
Analysis
Findings are reviewed against your demand profile, including any water testing results.
- 04
Recommendations
You receive prioritised options with the reasoning behind each, so you can decide what to do next.
Before you commit
What to consider
Points worth thinking through — whether you appoint us or someone else.
- How your water use changes between seasons
- Whether the property has more than one water source to coordinate
- The age and condition of existing pipework and fittings
- How much downtime the property can tolerate during an interruption
- Whether water quality testing has ever been done, and when
- Future plans — extensions, additional units, landscaping or new equipment
Assess first
We look at the property and the requirement before recommending equipment.
Clear scope
You are told what is included, what is not, and what depends on site findings.
No overselling
Where a smaller solution will do the job, that is what we will propose.
Ongoing support
Maintenance can be arranged so the system keeps performing after handover.
