Gladesville Plumbing Services | Backflow Prevention Sydney

If you have a backflow prevention device, it is your responsibility to ensure it is operating efficiently and tested annually.

A backflow prevention device is made up of valves, seals, and a variety of moving parts. These are subject to the typical wear and tear that most appliances and fittings are. That’s why testing is such an important part of the prevention process. The first backflow test is required upon the installation of the backflow prevention device. Even if yours is brand new, it should have already undergone at least one test and then every year thereafter.

When we visit your property, we take caution as we test your backflow prevention device. We start by switching off the shut-off valve downstream and give it several minutes to ensure the accuracy of the testing process. Then we check the system’s pressure using our testing kit. We always register the test results with the local water authority which is an important step because it lets the authority know you followed through after receiving the testing notice.

If you have reason to suspect your backflow prevention device isn’t operating efficiently, reach out to a plumbing professional Sydney to carry out a test. If repair is not possible, our team can carry out replacement installation.
