The quiet valve that keeps your building's drinking water clean and compliant

A backflow device stops contaminated water being drawn back into the drinking supply, and it has to be tested every year to stay compliant. Call (02) 9072 0502 to book yours in.

Why backflow testing matters in this precinct

The Mascot Central retail floors

The open-air shopping precinct on Etherden Walk packs cafes, a supermarket and specialty stores onto one connected supply, and each hose tap, cool room and cleaner's sink is a cross-connection that a testable device has to guard against.

Apartment complexes near the station

The dense residential towers run irrigation, fire services and shared plant that all sit beside the drinking supply, so every building carries backflow devices that legally need testing and tagging each year to protect the water everyone drinks, the same supply a water filter later polishes.

What our backflow testing covers

A compliant device is only proof once it is tested, tagged and lodged, so we handle the full annual cycle for homes, strata and commercial sites alike:

Annual device testing

Testing each backflow prevention device against its rated pressure drop shows whether the check valves still seal, and a passing result issued and tagged on the spot keeps the property's drinking water protected and its records straight for another full year.

Repair and servicing

Servicing a device that fails its test means stripping and rebuilding the check valves or springs that have worn, so a unit that would otherwise let contaminated water track back into the supply is returned to a properly sealing, compliant condition.

Certificate lodgement

Lodging the certificate with the water authority and your council closes the loop the law genuinely cares about, and we track the due date so the next annual test is booked well before the compliance window ever quietly lapses on you.

New device installation

Installing the correct backflow device for the hazard rating, whether a testable valve for a commercial kitchen or a garden tap on a home, matches the protection to the risk so the property passes its inspection the first time around.

Where the risk sits around here

Food and hospitality below the towers

The cafes and restaurants tucked under the apartments near Coward Street run cool rooms, dishwashers and hose points that each pose a contamination risk, so their high-hazard devices need testing on a strict schedule, the kind of scheduled maintenance managers book ahead.

Irrigation and common areas

The landscaped gardens and wash-down bays across the strata complexes draw from the same main as the drinking supply, and those devices are the barrier that keeps fertiliser and grime out of the tap water.

Backflow faults we get called about

The device that failed

A backflow device that fails its annual test has usually worn a check valve or a spring, and rather than condemn the whole unit we rebuild the failed part, so the property regains compliance without the outlay of a complete replacement.

The lapsed certificate

A compliance notice landing because last year's test was missed is a common call, and we test, tag and lodge the paperwork quickly so a building manager or owner clears the notice well before it hardens into a penalty.

The wrong device fitted

A device rated for the wrong hazard level, common where an earlier fit-out cut a corner, will fail inspection even while it works fine, and swapping it for the correct type brings the connection cleanly back inside the rules.

Why annual backflow testing is not optional

Backflow testing protects the water a whole building drinks and is a legal duty on the property owner, so keeping it current, part of the wider plumbing compliance we handle, guards people and paperwork alike:

It guards the drinking supply

A failed device can let irrigation, chemicals or waste water siphon back into the main. Annual testing is what proves the barrier still holds before anyone is put at risk.

It keeps you compliant

The water authority requires testable devices to be checked and lodged every year. A current certificate keeps a strata block or business on the right side of its obligations.

It prevents costly surprises

A lapsed test found during a sale or an audit can hold up settlement or trigger a fine. Booking the annual check on a reminder keeps it a routine job rather than a last-minute scramble.

How it works

Your backflow test, step by step

  1. 01

    Call and tell us

    Ring (02) 9072 0502 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 03

    Test, tag and lodge

    Checking the unit at its set working pressure, your plumber confirms the valves seal, tags the result on the spot, rebuilds anything that has failed and lodges the certificate so the property stays compliant for the year.

  4. 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 Mascot

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 Mascot 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.

Where we work

The neighbouring suburbs we certify too

Device testing and tagging covers the surrounding suburbs as well, reaching Botany by the terminals, Rosebery, low Eastlakes, the strata towers of Wolli Creek and Tempe over the canal, each site quoted plainly.

Good questions, straight answers

Backflow testing questions Mascot locals ask

How often does a backflow device need testing?

Testable devices must be checked once a year, and we run the test, tag the device and lodge its certificate so your property stays compliant and the due date is never missed.

Who needs a backflow device tested?

Strata blocks, shops, cafes and any site with irrigation, fire services or a cool room usually do, because each is a cross-connection to the drinking supply.

What happens if my device fails the test?

We rebuild the worn check valves or springs rather than replace the whole unit where we can, then retest it so the connection is compliant again.

Do you lodge the certificate for me?

Yes, we lodge it with your council and the water authority and track the renewal date, so the annual test is booked before the compliance window lapses.

Can you install a new backflow device?

We can, matching the device to the hazard rating of the site, so a commercial kitchen or an irrigated garden gets the right protection and passes inspection.

Is the testing priced upfront?

Yes, the price is agreed in writing before we start, and thanks to the $0 call out fee you owe nothing just for the quote.
