What Fails Most Often in a Compliance Inspection
Missing Vacuum Breakers
Given how much of Cape Town City Centre City Centre’s housing stock predates current plumbing regulations, missing vacuum breakers and outdated pipe materials are by far the most common reasons a Cape Town City Centre City Centre property fails on first inspection.
Incorrect Pipe Materials
Older properties sometimes have non-compliant pipe materials still in use.
Damaged or Leaking Fittings
Small leaks that were never repaired often show up during inspection.
Non-Compliant Drainage
Incorrectly installed waste pipes are a frequent finding on older homes.
A Couple More Compliance Questions
Do body corporates need their own compliance certificates?
Yes, common area plumbing and geysers in a Cape Town City Centre City Centre complex typically need their own compliance sign-off, separate from individual units.
Can you inspect a property before I list it for sale?
Yes, getting ahead of a sale with an early inspection can prevent delays once you have a buyer.
Quick Tip
One quick note: keeping a digital copy of your compliance certificate alongside the physical one makes it easier to share with agents or insurers when needed.
Also Worth Knowing
We also recommend re-checking compliance whenever significant plumbing alterations are made to a property, not only at point of sale, since changes can affect whether the system still meets current requirements.
