What is Backflow and Why Does It Matter?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction, allowing potentially contaminated water to enter the clean water supply. This can happen due to a sudden drop in water pressure or cross-connection with a contaminated source. It poses significant health risks and is particularly important to monitor in places such as:
- Hair salons and beauty clinics
- Dog washes and grooming businesses
- Medical and dental facilities
- Commercial properties and high-risk industrial sites
- Multi-tenant residential buildings
Our licensed team performs annual backflow testing and submits reports directly to the local council on your behalf, ensuring you stay compliant without the hassle.
Backflow Prevention Testing & Certification
Our backflow prevention testing includes a thorough inspection of your device using calibrated equipment. We identify performance issues, assess valve operation and confirm that the device prevents cross-contamination effectively.
All test results are documented and submitted to your local authority as required by law. If your device fails, we provide immediate quotes for repair or backflow prevention valve installation, so your water supply remains protected.
Backflow Prevention Valve Installation and Repairs
We install, replace and maintain a variety of backflow prevention valves suitable for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. If you’re setting up a new business, building a new property, or upgrading your plumbing infrastructure, we can recommend and install the right valve type for your risk level.
