Backflow happens when contaminated water flows back into the clean supply, usually due to pressure changes in your plumbing system.

With licensed plumbers and the right equipment, we test, repair, and maintain backflow devices so you don’t have to worry about hidden risks.
If it’s time for your annual backflow test or you suspect a problem, call us today on 0447 575 970 for expert help.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is backflow in plumbing?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction to its intended path, causing potentially contaminated water from pipes, drains, or appliances to enter the clean drinking supply. This usually happens when there’s a sudden drop or change in water pressure, such as during a burst pipe, firefighting use, or heavy water demand.
Why is backflow testing important?
Backflow testing ensures that backflow prevention devices, which are designed to stop contaminated water from entering the clean supply, are working properly. Without testing, you risk unsafe drinking water, potential health issues, and fines for failing to comply with regulations. Most councils require annual testing by a licensed plumber.
How often should backflow prevention be tested?
In most areas, backflow devices must be tested at least once a year by a licensed plumber. This is to ensure ongoing compliance and safety, as even minor faults or wear can make a device ineffective.
