Our team of backflow plumbers have been specially trained to install, maintain and test backflow prevention devices and we work Australia-wide.

Depending on the property you own or occupy, having a backflow prevention device may be required by your local water authority legislation. If you do have a backflow prevention device installed, this must be tested regularly (usually annually) and maintained, to make sure no wear or damage causes the device to fail.

It’s your responsibility to ensure you are compliant and protecting the well-being of the community by having your property risk assessed and taking the steps needed.
