Commercial backflow prevention testing in Sydney involves checking a building’s plumbing system to ensure it functions correctly. This testing is essential to help identify potential problems with the plumbing system and prevent them from malfunctioning and costly repairs. If a plumbing system issue is identified early, it can often be fixed before it turns into an expensive repair.
As a business owner, timely commercial backflow testing is an absolute must to avoid any health hazards. Contaminated water backing up into the plumbing system can cause serious illness.
And this is when our expert professionals can come to your rescue. In addition to examining your containment backflow prevention device, we can also assess the installation of the other zone and individual backflow devices on your property. Our team of plumbers specialising in backflow is extensively trained to install, maintain, and test backflow prevention devices, and we serve customers across Australia. So, contact us today, and let our commercial plumbers in Sydney take care of your backflow testing.
What Causes Backflow In Commercial Properties?
Backflow in commercial properties mainly occurs because of backpressure, back siphonage, or a combination. An open fire hydrant can cause backpressure, which creates a surge of water that can push contaminants back into the water supply.
On the other hand, back siphonage can be caused by a broken pipe, allowing contaminated water to flow backwards into the water supply. A combination of backpressure and back siphonage is the most common cause of backflow.
In addition, improper pipe installation, debris, and unwanted sediments blocking the pipes can result in backflow.
As you can see, none of these is good. We recommend contacting our 24/7 emergency plumbers as soon as possible!
How Can We Fix The Issue?
When you book an appointment with us, our trained plumbers will visit your property and first check the condition of your pipes using various tools and techniques, including pressure gauges, flow metres, and other specialised equipment.
Depending on the condition of the pipes, they may install a check valve to help regulate the water pressure and prevent backflows. They might also use a backflow prevention assembly to prevent contaminated water from entering the water supply.
You can book our annual or biannual service for regular plumbing maintenance to reduce the chances of backflows. Rest assured that we are entirely transparent with our pricing, so you pay only for the services provided with no hidden costs.
