The Western Australian Industry Response (IR) agreement between the WA Government, Iplex Australia and Participating Builders supports homeowners experiencing Plumbing Failures in WA homes constructed with Pro-fit Typlex 1050 resin polybutylene plumbing pipes (Typlex pipes).
The IR which commences on 13th November 2024, ensures that a series of practical remediation and preventative measures are available at no cost to owners for WA homes with Typlex pipes, regardless of when construction was completed.
The IR is also supported by recent law changes made by the WA Government to protect affected owners. You can read more about these changes by visiting this page.
The above measures mean that all WA homes with Typlex pipes will be supported through a similar series of remediation and prevention measures at no cost to the homeowners, irrespective of the builder of that home and whether they are a Participating Building of the IR or not.
