The quiet annual test that keeps your drinking water clean and safe
If your property runs a registered backflow device, a licensed plumber must test it each year and lodge the result for you, so call (02) 9072 0592 and we will handle both the test and the certificate.
Why the precinct needs backflow protection
Medical tenancies by St George Hospital
Cafes and commercial kitchens
Strata blocks and shared supply
Backflow services we provide
Backflow work runs from the first install through the annual test to the certificate that keeps you compliant, so whether you have a device already or need one fitted, the whole obligation is handled in one place:
Annual testing
Each registered device gets a full annual test on our gauges to confirm it still holds and closes correctly under reverse pressure, and the moment it passes we complete the paperwork and lodge the result so your compliance stays current.
Device installation
Where a property needs backflow protection it does not yet have, we assess the hazard level, select the correct device for the risk, and install it at the boundary or the fixture so the mains are shielded from any back-siphonage.
Repairs and servicing
When a device fails its test, we strip and service it, replace the worn springs, seals or check valves, and re-test until it holds properly, so a failed backflow valve becomes a compliant one rather than an expensive full replacement.
Certification lodged
Passing the test is only useful once it is on record, so we issue the compliance certificate and lodge it with the water authority on your behalf, which means the annual requirement is met and documented without you filing anything.
Who we test along the highway and beyond

New fit-outs and renovations
Common backflow problems
Failed backflow test
A device can fail because a check valve sticks, a spring weakens or a seal perishes, and until it is serviced and passed the property is technically non-compliant, so a failed test needs a prompt repair rather than a wait.
Missed annual test
Registered devices must be tested each year, and a lapsed test can bring a reminder or a warning from the water utility, so we track your due date and get the test done before the deadline passes unnoticed.
No device where one is needed
Some properties that should carry backflow protection never had a device fitted, which leaves the drinking supply exposed and the owner non-compliant, so identifying the gap and installing the right device closes both problems at once.
Why backflow testing matters
Backflow testing is easy to forget until it becomes a problem, and skipping it puts three things at risk at once, your drinking water, your legal compliance and your ability to keep trading:
- Contaminated water is the real danger A backflow event can pull chemicals, dirty water or worse into the clean supply feeding taps and kitchens. The device is the barrier that stops it, but only while it is tested and proven to work.
- Compliance is not optional Sydney Water requires registered devices to be checked annually by an accredited plumber. Let it lapse and you risk a notice, a fine or a disconnection, none of which is worth the small cost of an annual test.
- Your business depends on it For a cafe, clinic or salon a current backflow certificate is part of trading legally. Keeping the test up to date quietly protects the doors staying open, which matters more than the task suggests.
How it works
Our backflow testing process, 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
On the day we gauge the device under reverse pressure, service or repair it on the spot if it fails, then issue and lodge the certificate with the authority so your record stays clean and current.
- 04
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 Kogarah
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 Kogarah 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.
Where we work
Areas we service
Clinics, cafes and strata blocks in Carlton, Hurstville, Allawah, Rockdale and Beverley Park all sit under the same annual rule, so we test, service and certify their devices and lodge the paperwork on schedule too.
Good questions, straight answers
Backflow testing questions Kogarah businesses ask
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Registered backflow devices must be tested once a year by a licensed plumber, and we keep an eye on your due date, run the test and lodge the certificate so nothing lapses.
What is backflow and why does it matter?
Backflow is when water flows the wrong way and pulls contaminants into the clean mains, and a backflow device is the one-way barrier that stops that from happening at a hazard point.
Does my cafe or clinic near the hospital need one?
Very likely, because food premises and medical tenancies around the hospital precinct handle water in ways that can back-siphon, so they sit on the register and must keep a tested device.
What happens if my device fails the test?
We service it on the spot where we can, replacing the worn valve, spring or seal, then re-test until it passes, so a fail usually becomes a pass in the same visit.
Do you handle the paperwork and lodgement?
Yes, once the device passes we complete the compliance certificate and file it with the authority on your behalf, so the yearly requirement is met and recorded without you chasing forms.
Are you licensed to test backflow devices?
Yes, backflow testing must be done by a plumber with the specific accreditation, which we hold under licence #275278C, so the test we run and the certificate we lodge are both fully valid.
