Backflow testing is the annual certificate your building simply cannot afford to skip
If your property runs a testable backflow device, the annual test is a legal requirement, and letting it lapse risks a notice, so booking it on time keeps your certificate current and the supply protected.
Why the town centre needs backflow testing most
A dense mix of trades and taps
Shared plumbing raises the stakes
Civic and public sites too
Backflow work we carry out
As accredited testers we install, test and certify the full range of backflow prevention, matching the device to the hazard rating of the property and keeping every result lodged with the authority on schedule:
Annual testing
Annual testing puts a calibrated gauge on each device to prove it still seals against reverse flow, the yearly check that keeps a cafe, strata block or shop tenancy compliant and its drinking water safely separated from every cross-connection onsite.
Device repair or replace
Device repair or replacement follows a failed test, so a worn relief valve or perished seal is rebuilt or the whole unit swapped, then retested and passed rather than left as a fail notice hanging over the property owner indefinitely.
New device installation
New installations size and fit the right testable device where a renovation, fit-out or change of use introduces a hazard, tying it into the supply correctly so the tenancy passes inspection and opens on time without a single compliance holdup.
Certificates and lodgement
Certification and lodgement close every job, so the signed test report reaches Sydney Water and your inbox on time, keeping the annual record current so you never end up chasing a tester or a looming due date yourself each year.

Common backflow issues we resolve
A device that fails its test
A backflow device failing its annual test usually means a fouled or worn check valve, so we strip, clean or rebuild it and retest on the same visit, turning a fail into a pass without a return trip.
An overdue certificate
An overdue certificate leaves a property exposed to a compliance notice, so we test the device, sort any fault and lodge the fresh paperwork promptly, bringing a lapsed record back into date before it becomes a bigger problem.
Discoloured water after works
Discoloured or odd-tasting water appearing after nearby works can signal a backflow event pulling contamination back into the line, so we test the protection, flush the affected supply and confirm the drinking water is clean and safe again.
Why backflow certification is worth staying on top of
Backflow protection guards the one thing every tenant and customer trusts without thinking, the drinking water, and keeping it certified is a small piece of the plumbing that carries real legal weight, so staying current matters three ways:
- You stay legally compliant A current test certificate is a legal obligation for a testable device, so keeping it lodged protects the owner from a notice, a fine or an insurance headache.
- You protect the water supply A working device stops contaminated water siphoning back into the mains, guarding the drinking water that a water filter then polishes at the tap for every unit and customer on that line.
- You avoid the last-minute scramble A tracked annual booking means the certificate never lapses days before an inspection, so a lease, a sale or an audit is never held up waiting on a test.
How it works
How a backflow test works, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Test and certify
Testing runs downstream first, so we shut off, fit the calibrated gauge and record how each check valve and relief holds, repair anything that fails where we can, then pass, tag and lodge the certificate for you.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Hurstville
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Hurstville works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Testing the device properly and lodging on time is what keeps a certificate current and an inspection stress-free.

Good questions, straight answers
Backflow testing questions Hurstville locals ask
Who needs a backflow prevention device?
Any property with a testable device, typically commercial premises, food outlets, strata blocks and sites with irrigation or a second water source, must have it tested and certified every year.
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Testable backflow devices must be tested once a year by an accredited tester, with the result lodged to the water authority, which is the schedule we track and remind you about.
Do restaurants on the main strip need one?
Almost always, because a food premises running a grease trap or a wash-down hose creates a contamination hazard, so the eateries along the retail strip here carry a testable device by law.
What happens if my device fails the test?
We repair or replace the faulty part and retest it then and there wherever possible, so a failed device is brought back to a pass and certified without a second callout.
How much does backflow testing cost?
The annual test and certificate are quoted in writing before we begin, attending costs nothing, and any repair the device needs is priced separately for you to approve on the day.
Do you handle the paperwork with the water authority?
Yes, we lodge the signed test certificate with Sydney Water on your behalf and give you a copy, so your compliance record stays current without you chasing anything.
