If you want to boost your personal hygiene and reduce toilet paper usage, it may be time to install a bidet in your Melbourne home. However, it’s important to consider the legal requirements and risks of DIY bidet installation. That’s where professional plumbers, like All Spec Plumbing, come in handy!
Legal Requirements in Victoria
In Victoria, as mandated by the Plumbing Code of Australia and enforced by the Victorian Building Authority, bidets connected to the drinking water supply must be installed by a licensed plumber.
As proof of their compliance with the relevant industry standards and regulations, a licensed plumber must provide a Compliance Certificate when work exceeds $750 in value, giving the homeowner peace of mind.
Health and Safety
There are significant health risks that come with the improper installation of bidets. There is a danger of drinking water contamination if there is not adequate backflow prevention, which can lead to potential outbreaks of waterborne diseases.
Licensed professionals are equipped to install the appropriate backflow prevention devices that will ensure the safety of your household and your community.
Quality Assurance and Warranty
If you want assurance that your bidet functions correctly, All Spec Plumbing’s professional plumbers bring the necessary expertise and experience to get the job done. We are able to identify and address potential issues, such as inconsistencies in water pressure or compatibility problems, that you may not be able to identify yourself.
It is also important to keep in mind that many manufacturers require professional installation for their warranties to remain valid. By hiring our team of licensed plumbers, you guarantee industry compliance while protecting your long-term investment.
Cost
Many assume the cost-effective solution is to install the bidet themselves, but this can lead to expensive repairs if anything is done incorrectly. As stated, this can also void home insurance policies, leaving homeowners with large fees to fix damages.
Depending on the complexity of the job, the cost of professional installation of a bidet can vary, but it is an investment that will save money and headaches in the long run.
