Our Backflow Plumbing Services
Backflow occurs when the average direction of water flow reverses for reasons like cross-connection. This allows water to flow back into the pipes and affects your main and portable water supply, which can be a severe safety hazard!
To combat this, a backflow prevention device prevents the reverse flow of water, ensuring contaminants from potentially reaching the main water supply. Backflow can cause overflow and damage to your home and commercial or industrial activity without such a device. It can also lead to leaks and corrosion of your pipes. However, the biggest plumbing problem isn’t just to your home or business—it’s to your health when it contaminates the central water supply system.
Regular backflow testing is essential to ensure the backflow prevention device functions correctly. This testing helps identify any issues that might compromise the device’s ability to protect your drinking water from contamination. When the water flow reverses back to your home, it can often include contaminants such as toxic chemicals from grease traps and human waste. Thus, you and your family are exposed to health risks from the potentially polluted drinking water supply and contaminated fluids.
Here at Gold Coast Plumbing Company, we don’t want any back pressure or siphonage and want your water to flow only in the right direction. That is why we offer to test backflow prevention devices and Gold Coast plumbing services, including:
- Superior backflow annual testing Gold Coast
- Backflow prevention device installations
- Maintenance and replacements
- And expert backflow device testing Gold Coast
Our fully qualified plumbers and licensed plumbing contractors will ensure backflow prevention devices on your property, approved by the local government, are correctly set up to keep the drinking water supply safe, clean, and free from contaminants. We’ll make sure your backflow prevention device must be registered. And you can always contact us to install backflow prevention devices or have them inspected or tested annually. Maintaining backflow prevention devices is of utmost importance. As a property owner, have the device inspected once a year, especially if you have swimming pools, to avoid the risk of contamination. Maintenance and testing of Gold Coast devices should never be procrastinated or forgotten.

Need A Backflow Prevention Device?
Backflow Prevention Device Installation
Properties are assessed as low, medium, or high hazard risk to see the need for backflow prevention devices. Our licensed Gold Coast plumbers at Gold Coast Plumbing provide exceptional service and ensure the job is completed properly, preventing contamination of your mains water supply.
- Low-risk properties can have nuisances but not necessarily endanger health if contamination occurs.
- On the other hand, medium-risk properties pose a danger to health if backflow occurs due to back siphonage or a cross-connection with a contaminated source.
- High-risk properties are sites where the products they use and produce are toxic and bacterial. When these get leaked into the main water supply, it can cause serious illness or even death.
If the local council assesses your property as a medium or high hazard risk, you must install a backflow prevention device, such as dual check valves or RPZ valves. These devices prevent polluted water from entering the mains water backup if the pressure is left unchanged or reversed.
Gold Coast Plumbing Company’s skilled technicians are authorized to install and replace your backflow devices. Our certified plumbers provide excellent service and top-notch workmanship to Gold Coast residents and property owners, including those in Varsity Lakes and surrounding areas.
