Healthy Homes Plumbing Compliance Support for Wellington Landlords
As a landlord, you’re required by law to meet New Zealand’s Healthy Homes Standards — and plumbing plays a critical role in achieving compliance. At Paramount Plumbing & Gas, we work closely with property managers and landlords across Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, and the Kapiti Coast to ensure rental properties meet the legal requirements around hot water, moisture control, drainage, and more.
We understand the Healthy Homes obligations inside and out, and we’re here to make it easy — with detailed inspections, honest recommendations, and compliant plumbing solutions that stand the test of time.
Plumbing-Related Healthy Homes Standards We Support
The Healthy Homes Standards include specific plumbing requirements across several key areas. Our team can assess and upgrade your property to meet:
Bathroom Moisture Extraction
We ensure your bathroom has an effective, externally vented extractor fan — with the right ducting, flow rate, and switch type to pass compliance.Hot Water System Safety
We check that your hot water cylinder is properly installed, pressure-regulated, and capable of delivering a minimum of 35°C at all hot taps.Drainage Functionality
We assess all wastewater and stormwater drainage to ensure it is effective, sanitary, and not causing pooling or water damage around the home.Moisture Ingress and Subfloor Drainage
Where underfloor areas are enclosed, we can check that they are properly drained, free from leaks, and install or repair plumbing where needed to reduce dampness.
