🛑 The Hidden Risks of Water Damage
Many property owners underestimate the seriousness of water damage. Drying up visible water is not enough—it’s also about stopping hidden moisture before it causes structural damage, mould growth, and health risks.
Incorrect restoration often leads to costly long-term repairs.
At Whywait Plumbing, we’ve identified a crucial difference that sets us apart: Most restoration companies aren’t licensed plumbers.
This means they lack the qualifications to adequately address the root cause of water damage—faulty plumbing. Our unique selling proposition is our expertise as licensed plumbers, enabling us to provide a comprehensive solution to water damage restoration.
You can trust our knowledge and experience to effectively handle your water damage issues.
📌 Key Facts About Water Damage You Need to Know:
- 💧 Structural damage begins in as little as 48 hours after a leak or flood.
- 🦠 Mould growth can start within 24–48 hours if moisture is left untreated.
- 🚫 Insurance claims may be void if unlicensed providers do restoration work.
- 📏 AS-IICRC S500:2025 requires detailed moisture assessment and compliant drying processes.
- 🛠️ Only licensed plumbers can legally repair water damage-related plumbing faults in Queensland.
- ✅ Protect your property, health, and insurance—act fast with fully licensed professionals.
⚠️ The Problem with Unlicensed Restoration Companies
Restoration-only providers typically:
- ❌ No Plumbing Licence – Can’t legally repair leaking pipes or failed drainage.
- 🔍 Surface-Level Fixes – Focus only on cosmetic drying without solving the root cause.
- 🦠 Mould Risks – Miss hidden moisture pockets that lead to contamination.
- 🚫 Legal Exposure – May breach QBCC requirements and void insurance claims.
🚨 Major Water Damage Risk Lurks Beneath Your Sink
With multiple hose connections under your sink, vigilance is now a must. Burst flexihoses like these are a leading cause of water damage restoration claims on the Gold Coast, accounting for over 22% of all incidents. According to RACQ, the average claim exceeds $14,000—more than double that of regular burst pipes.

Water damage restoration involves removing water, drying affected areas, assessing structural damage, and restoring your property to its pre-damage condition. At Whywait Plumbing, we integrate licensed plumbing diagnostics with certified moisture remediation to create a complete solution.

AS-IICRC S500:2025 is the newly adopted Australian Standard for professional water damage restoration. It outlines best practices for moisture assessment, drying methods, and contamination control. Whywait Plumbing follows these standards to ensure compliant, safe, and effective restoration.
Yes. Moisture trapped inside walls, floors, or ceilings can lead to mould growth, wood rot, and structural weakening. These issues may not be visible but can result in costly damage and health risks if not adequately addressed.
Typically, yes, but only if the service provider is appropriately licensed and follows industry standards like AS-IICRC S500:2025. Using unlicensed or non-compliant providers could void your insurance claim.
