The Silent Guard on Your Supply That Only Counts When Tested
A backflow prevention device works quietly for years, so nobody thinks about it until a compliance letter arrives or a test falls overdue. Ring (02) 9072 0504 and we will slot the appointment into your week, with the whole visit usually finished inside the hour.

What We Test, Fix and Certify
From single devices on family homes to registered containment units on commercial fit-outs, the job covers testing, repair, installation and certification, and every visit is priced upfront in writing. The full range of what we do sits on the plumbing services hub.
Annual Compliance Testing
Each annual test isolates the water service, runs the calibrated kit across both check valves and the relief valve, records every reading carefully, and lodges the paperwork with Sydney Water soon after, so the property's compliance record never lapses for another year.
Device Installation
New irrigation lines, pool autofills and fire hose reels all create cross-connections that the rules require you to guard, so we size, fit, commission and register a correctly rated testable device the property actually needs from the very start.
Repairs and Replacement
A failed device usually hides a tired seal, a jammed spring or debris lodged under a check valve, and because common cartridges and repair kits ride in the van, most faults are sorted and retested before the van leaves the driveway.
Certification and Lodgement
Test results must reach Sydney Water through a plumber holding backflow endorsement within the required window, and we file the report promptly and supply the certificates your records, your strata manager or your solicitor will always want on hand.

Failures and Frustrations We See at the Test Kit
The Failed Reading
A failed reading usually traces to a worn seal or grit under a check valve rather than a dead device, so a service and a fresh test on the spot often restore compliance without any replacement hardware.
The Forgotten Unit
Devices left untested for years seize, drift out of calibration or corrode, and when paperwork has vanished between owners we locate the unit, confirm its registration and bring the whole testing schedule back up to date.
The Overdue Letter
A compliance letter about an overdue test arrives with no instructions, so we take the whole response off your hands, from booking the visit through to lodging the results and closing the matter out.
Why It Matters: Test Backflow on Schedule
The annual test is a small appointment with outsized consequences, because the device is the one barrier between your garden plumbing and the water your family pours from the kitchen tap.
- Protect the household supply A cross-connection on an irrigation line or pool feed can draw garden water, fertiliser and soil back into drinking taps, and a current test certificate is the only proof it cannot happen.
- Avoid enforcement action The water utility can escalate overdue devices, and unresolved non-compliance on a property record complicates sales, renovations and strata reporting down the track.
- Catch problems early An annual test that finds a tired seal costs a fraction of replacing a corroded unit, and scheduled maintenance visits can carry the test alongside the rest of the house checks.
How it works
The Testing Process: What Happens on the Day
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0504 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, service and record
With the price approved, the plumber isolates the supply, connects the calibrated test kit to the device, runs the full test sequence, repairs or services anything that fails, then retests and records the final readings for your compliance report.
- 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 Turramurra
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 Turramurra 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.
That final point matters doubly for compliance work, because a missed annual window has real consequences and a nearby van can fit a test into the week without a fortnight-long wait.

Good questions, straight answers
Backflow Testing Questions from Turramurra Locals
How often does a backflow prevention device need testing?
Sydney Water requires most testable devices to be tested annually by an endorsed backflow plumber, and the paperwork goes to the utility each time so your property's compliance record stays current.
Do regular homes ever need a backflow device?
Most family homes only need a testable device where an irrigation system, pool autofill, fire hose reel or other medium-hazard connection exists, and we can assess your property and confirm what applies.
Does a sloping block with garden irrigation need a device?
Garden irrigation on sloping leafy blocks is exactly the sort of connection that triggers a device requirement, and our local assessments account for the elevation changes typical of this ridge suburb.
How long does an annual backflow test take?
A standard annual test usually takes under an hour, including isolating the supply, running the test sequence, servicing the device if needed and completing the compliance paperwork on the spot.
What happens if my device fails the test?
A failed device often needs only new seals or a cleaned check valve, and we carry common repair kits, so most failures are corrected and retested during the same visit without a second call out.
Who is allowed to test a backflow device?
Backflow testing must be done by a licensed plumber with backflow endorsement, and our team holds licence #275278C, lodges results with the utility and supplies your compliance certificates with the invoice.
