Backflow Prevention &Testing Brisbane
When it comes to your property’s plumbing, safety and compliance are top priorities. One critical aspect of this is backflow prevention testing—a service designed to protect your water supply from contamination. At Broderick’s Plumbing & Gas, we provide reliable, fully certified backflow testing Brisbane homeowners and businesses can trust.
Whether you’re a commercial site manager or a residential property owner, our certified backflow testers in Brisbane are here to ensure your system remains compliant, safe, and fully operational year-round.
What Is Backflow & Why Is Testing Important?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction from its intended path—usually due to pressure changes in the plumbing system. This reversal can cause potentially contaminated water to enter your clean supply, posing serious health risks.
That’s why routine backflow device testing is not just a good idea—it’s a legal requirement in many situations. Backflow prevention is especially important for:
Commercial kitchens and restaurants
Medical and dental facilities
Car washes and workshops
Irrigation systems
Apartment complexes
Routine backflow prevention services ensure your water remains clean, your plumbing stays up to code, and your risk of contamination is minimised.
