The annual test that quietly protects the water your whole street drinks
If your property has irrigation, a commercial fit-out or certain cross-connections, a testable backflow device is required and has to be checked every year. We test it, certify it and lodge the paperwork, so call (02) 9072 0502.
Who needs backflow testing around here
Backflow devices turn up on more properties near the Bexley Road shopping strip than owners expect, and each has to be tested yearly:
- Shops and commercial premises The businesses along the local retail strip commonly have backflow devices on their water service, and council-registered testing keeps those connections compliant and the mains supply protected.
- Irrigation and garden systems Any property drawing water for irrigation, including larger grounds like Bardwell Valley Golf Club nearby, needs a tested device so fertiliser and soil water can never siphon back into the drinking main.
- Older homes with cross-connections Some renovated homes have added rainwater, pools or auxiliary supplies over the years, and where those tie in, a backflow device protects the potable line from contamination.
What backflow testing involves
Backflow work is precise, registered work with a paper trail, and we handle the full cycle from testing and servicing to the certificate your water authority and council require, so your obligation is met without the chase:
Annual device testing
Each testable backflow device is checked with calibrated gauges to confirm it still stops reverse flow, and because registration requires this every year, we track your due date for you so a lapse never puts you offside with the authority.
Repair and replace
When a device fails its test, we service or replace the internal check valves, or fit a new compliant unit where the old one is beyond it, so the connection passes and protects the drinking supply exactly as intended again.
Certification and lodgement
Once a device passes, we complete the compliance certificate and lodge it with the water authority on your behalf, so the record is filed correctly and you are never left chasing the paperwork you did not even know you owed.
When a backflow device is actually required
You may not know you have a testable device until a renewal notice arrives, so it helps to know what triggers the requirement:
- A registered commercial connection Most commercial and mixed-use properties carry a medium or high hazard rating that mandates a testable device and a yearly test logged with the authority.
- Irrigation, pools and rainwater tie-ins Systems that connect a non-drinking water source to the mains, common on larger gardens and renovated homes, need a device to keep that water from ever siphoning back.
- A change of use or fit-out A new business fit-out or a property upgrade often triggers a fresh backflow requirement, and we assess what hazard rating applies and fit the correct device for it.
Common backflow issues we get called to
A device that fails
A backflow device that fails its annual test usually has worn or fouled internal check valves, which stop it sealing against reverse flow, so servicing or renewing those parts is what returns it to a compliant, passing condition.
A lapsed test date
Once a backflow test slips past its due date, the property is non-compliant and the mains unprotected, an easy thing to overlook, so we retest, certify and reset your reminder to keep it from happening again.
Why backflow testing is worth staying on top of
A backflow device is easy to forget until it fails or its test lapses, yet it is the only thing standing between a contaminated source and the water your family and neighbours drink, so it genuinely matters:
- Protect the drinking supply A failed or missing device can let garden, industrial or stored water siphon back into the mains, so a passing test is a real safeguard for your household and the street.
- Stay compliant and lodged Registered devices must be tested yearly and the result filed, and letting that slip can put a commercial property offside, so keeping it current avoids the notices and the risk.
- Catch a failing device early A device tested on schedule reveals worn check valves before they stop working, so a small service now prevents both a failed test and an unprotected connection later.

Quote before work

- 03
Test, certify, remind
Device passing, we issue the compliance certificate, lodge it with the authority and set your next test date on our reminder system, so the following year's test is prompted before it ever falls overdue.

Good questions, straight answers
Backflow testing questions Bexley North locals ask
When does a property need a backflow device?
You likely need a testable device if there is irrigation, a commercial connection, a pool or a rainwater tie-in on the property, and we can assess your connection and tell you exactly what applies.
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Testable devices must be checked once a year to stay registered, so we log your renewal date and prompt you ahead of time, which keeps the connection compliant without you having to remember.
Is there a call out fee for a backflow test?
No, the call out is $0, and the test, certificate and lodgement are quoted as one written price before we start, so the whole compliance job stays clear up front.
What happens if my device fails the test?
A failed device gets its check valves serviced or swapped, or a new compliant unit fitted if it is past saving, then we retest so it passes and the supply is protected again.
How long does a backflow test take?
The test itself is quick, usually a single short visit, and where a device passes first time we can issue and lodge the certificate straight after, so compliance is sorted in one go.
Are you registered to test backflow devices?
Yes, backflow testing is registered work and we hold the accreditation for it under licence #275278C, and any device we service or install is also covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty.
