Backflow Testing
for Homes
Backflow testing helps protect your drinking water by making sure contaminated water can’t flow back into the main water supply. If your property has a backflow prevention device, it needs to be tested every year by a licensed backflow tester to ensure it is working correctly and remains compliant.
Our team provides backflow testing across the Sunshine Coast. We’ll test your device, record the results, and submit all the required paperwork to the council on your behalf.
What We Do
Backflow prevention is more than just a once-a-year test. From testing and maintenance through to replacements, records and council reporting, we take care of the full process so you don’t have to chase it up yourself.
- We inspect, service and repair devices to help keep them safe and compliant.
- We test thermostatic mixing valves to help maintain safe, controlled water temperatures and reduce the risk of scalding.
- We can supply and install new valves where needed.
- We help you stay on top of your yearly testing, certification and compliance requirements.
- We lodge the required results directly with your local council.
- We help track and manage your devices so everything stays organised and up to date.
- We use modern record-keeping to keep your records accurate and easy to access next time.
Your One-Stop Shop For All Your Plumbing Needs
Our team will locate each backflow device, isolate the system and complete the test using calibrated equipment. We check the valves, pressure and sealing to make sure everything is working properly. If there’s an issue, we’ll service the device where possible, replace faulty parts if needed, then retest and submit the results to council.
You may need testing if your annual check is due, you’ve taken over a property, had plumbing work done, repaired or replaced a device, or noticed leaking, damage or changes in water quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often is backflow testing required?
Most properties require backflow testing once every year.
Who can carry out backflow testing services?
Backflow testing services must be completed by a licensed plumber with backflow accreditation. This ensures the results are valid and can be submitted to the council.
What happens if my device fails testing?
If your device does not pass, we will identify the issue and, if possible, fix it during the same visit. If it needs replacing, we will organise it and ensure it meets compliance requirements.
Do you handle council reporting?
Yes, we handle the entire process. Once testing is complete, we submit the results directly to the council, so you do not have to deal with the paperwork.
Is backflow testing required for residential properties?
Some residential properties require backflow prevention testing, especially where there are irrigation systems or other cross-connections. We can check your setup and confirm what is needed.
