HSS / 05HSS service checklist
Repair triage with the right safety boundary
Symptoms are triaged before dispatch, and regulated work is assigned to appropriately licensed personnel where required.
See the complete HSS standard02
On service day
- Safety condition and reported fault reconfirmed first
- Diagnosis separated from parts and repair approval
- Regulated tasks follow the applicable licence requirements
03
After the job
- Completed repair and replaced parts recorded
- Operational or safety check completed where applicable
- Residual risk and next steps communicated clearly
For emergencies involving immediate danger, isolate the affected supply only if safe and contact the relevant emergency authority.
What the technician focuses on for this repair path
- Urgency assessment based on where the leak is, how active it is, and what it might damage if left alone
- Diagnosis of the leak source before deciding whether the issue is repair-led or part replacement is needed
- Clear completion checks so the customer understands whether the leak has been stopped or still needs follow-up work
How this visit is usually planned
- 1.Send photos or video of the leak point and describe whether the water is dripping, spraying, or pooling.
- 2.Team triages how urgent the complaint appears and whether the issue likely falls under a standard repair visit.
- 3.Technician diagnoses the exact source on site and carries out the confirmed repair or replacement work.
- 4.Leak point is rechecked after completion so the customer can see whether the problem has been contained properly.
What to prepare before the technician arrives
- Photos or short video are especially useful for visible leaks because they help the team judge urgency faster.
- Let the team know if the leak is affecting cabinetry, flooring, walls, or electrical points nearby.
- If you have already shut off a valve or isolated the affected fixture, mention that in your first message.
What usually changes the quotation
- How accessible the leak source is and whether the issue is actively escaping water
- Whether repair is enough or the faulty fitting needs replacement
- Potential knock-on work if the leak affects more than one point
- How urgently the household needs dispatch after photo triage

FAQ
Is water leak repair different from general plumbing repair?
Yes. This page is for people with a clearly visible leak who need quicker triage around urgency and likely scope before the visit is confirmed.
What should I send first for a leak complaint?
A clear photo or short video of the leak point is the fastest starting point, especially if the water is actively dripping or spraying.
Can leak repair still turn into a replacement job?
Yes. Once the technician sees the damaged fitting or joint on site, they may confirm that replacement is safer or more efficient than repair alone.
