Certified Testing & Maintenance
Backflow testing is required on many commercial, industrial and residential sites, especially where water outlets could be exposed to contaminants. This might include garden taps with hose connections, irrigation setups, commercial kitchens, or industrial chemical use. Devices like RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) valves or double-check valves are designed to prevent dirty water from reversing into your clean water supply. But they need to be tested regularly to make sure they’re still working.
We test and service backflow prevention devices in line with plumbing codes and local council regulations. This includes checking valve operation, pressure levels, and sealing integrity. If a fault is found, we’ll repair or replace the device and retest to ensure it meets standards. After every inspection, a full test report is provided for your records or for council submission. For commercial properties, this helps maintain compliance and avoid costly penalties.
Clean water is non-negotiable. Whether you're managing a business or maintaining a residential setup, backflow testing should be part of your regular plumbing maintenance. It’s quick, affordable and essential for keeping your supply line safe.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What is backflow and why is it dangerous?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction, from a potentially contaminated source back into your clean water supply. This can happen due to sudden pressure drops, like during a burst pipe or fire hydrant use. If backflow occurs, it can introduce dirt, chemicals, or bacteria into the drinking water system, posing health risks. Backflow prevention devices stop this reverse flow and must be tested regularly to ensure they’re working.
How often does backflow testing need to be done?
In most areas, backflow prevention devices must be tested at least once a year by a licensed plumber or backflow tester. This is often a council requirement, especially for commercial and industrial sites. Annual testing ensures your device is still functioning correctly and helps prevent contamination. Failing to test can result in fines, compliance issues or unsafe water on your property.
Do all properties need backflow prevention?
Not all homes need a backflow device, but properties with potential cross-connections, such as irrigation systems, commercial operations, medical facilities, or fire hose reels, often do. If your site is deemed at risk, local authorities may require an appropriate backflow device to be installed and maintained. A plumber can assess your setup and advise whether backflow prevention is necessary.
