Western Australia Plumbing Issues Update 13 October 2023

FBU said in October that evidence points to installation as the reason leaks are occurring in some houses in Perth, and that installation practices have deteriorated over time.
The plumbing failures are specifically occurring in Perth and Western Australia, not in other parts of Australia or internationally. The issue appears to be isolated to homes built in WA using Iplex Australia's Pro-fit pipe product.
The issues are not present on the East Coast of Australia or in other geographies where similar products are used.
Approximately 35% of relevant WA homes are expected to experience one or more leaks over time.
