FAQs
Everything you need to know about backflow plumbing.
What is backflow, and how does it happen?
Backflow occurs when the flow of water reverses direction due to pressure changes, drawing contaminants into your clean supply. Properties with irrigation or fire systems are most at risk, which is why certified backflow prevention is essential.
Do I really need backflow testing in Rockhampton?
Yes, annual backflow testing is a legal requirement for many Rockhampton properties, especially those with commercial or high-risk plumbing setups. If you're unsure what’s involved, our detailed breakdown of backflow testing procedures offers a clearer understanding.
What does a plumber do during a backflow test?
A licensed plumber shuts off your backflow device, checks valve performance, and identifies any potential cross-contamination. The results are submitted to your local council to keep your plumbing compliant and your water supply protected.
How do I know if I need a backflow prevention device?
Homes with rainwater tanks, irrigation systems, or commercial setups usually require a backflow device. Our team can identify this need for you during routine plumbing inspections, like those outlined in our blog on preparing for a plumber visit.
What happens if my backflow device fails testing?
A failed test means your system is at risk of contamination. We’ll assess whether a repair or replacement is needed and carry out the work quickly. Just like emergency plumbing, timely action is key to preventing health hazards.
Can backflow affect my home’s drinking water quality?
Absolutely. If a faulty device lets contaminants in, it can compromise your tap water. This concern is especially relevant in older plumbing systems, like those using galvanised pipes, which are prone to corrosion and health risks.
Do I need a plumber to install or replace a backflow device?
Yes, installation must be carried out by a licensed plumber who understands the legal requirements and device specifications. Our team handles everything from council submissions to testing, ensuring your system is professionally fitted and up to code.
How often should my backflow device be serviced or maintained?
The council usually requires annual testing, but older devices in high-risk properties may need more frequent checks. Routine maintenance ensures early detection of contamination risks. Staying on top of inspections, similar to how you’d manage grease trap cleaning, can help avoid costly penalties and system failures.
