We’re not a plumbing company — and that’s the point.

Buying a home? A pre purchase plumbing inspection could save you from costly surprises. While building and pest reports cover structural issues, most overlook what’s beneath — plumbing, drainage and stormwater systems.

At GemArk, we provide independent plumbing and drainage inspections that help homebuyers understand exactly what they’re getting before they commit.

No repairs. No upsells. Just risk-focused, licensed inspections by experienced master plumbers.
We work for you — not the seller, the agent, or the builder.

When buyers choose a targeted plumbing assessment

Some buyers commission a pre-purchase plumbing risk assessment for older, altered or high-value properties — particularly where drainage, stormwater or legacy systems may not be fully understood at inspection time.
This page explains why pre-purchase plumbing inspections and plumbing risk assessments are increasingly considered by buyers in Brisbane and South-East Queensland.
