Backflow testing and annual certification for strata blocks and King Street businesses
If Sydney Water has sent a reminder that your backflow device is due, the test has to be done and lodged by a licensed tester each year, and we handle the whole process; call (02) 9072 0502.
What backflow testing involves in this suburb
Strata blocks lead the list
Businesses along the strip
Homes with hazards too
Backflow services we provide
Backflow work runs from installing the right device to testing it every year and lodging the paperwork, and we cover the full cycle:
Annual testing
Annual testing is a legal requirement for testable devices, so we test the assembly with calibrated gauges, confirm it is protecting the supply, and lodge the certificate with the water authority before your due date passes and a notice arrives.
Device installation
Device installation matches the right backflow assembly to the hazard, so we assess the risk, install a compliant testable device at the boundary or the fixture, and commission it correctly so it fully guards the drinking supply from day one.
Repairs and rebuilds
Repairs and rebuilds get a failed device back into compliance, so when a test shows a leaking check or worn relief valve we rebuild or replace the internals, retest and certify it rather than leaving it sitting failed and unprotected.
Council registration
Registration and paperwork are half the job, so we register any new devices, submit each annual test result to the authorities, and keep your records straight so that compliance stays one less thing a strata committee ever has to chase.
Where backflow work is needed
The apartment portfolios
The trade and hospitality fit-outs
The irrigation and rainwater setups
Common backflow issues we fix
Failed annual test
A device that fails its test has a worn check valve, a tired relief valve or a seized poppet letting it leak past, and rather than just report the failure we rebuild the internals on the spot and retest it to a pass.
Overdue or missed test
An overdue device is both a health risk and a compliance breach, and the reminders only escalate, so we test it, bring it back into certification and reset the annual schedule so the next one is never missed.
Leaking backflow device
A backflow assembly weeping from its relief valve is usually telling you the checks inside have failed, so we strip and rebuild it with the correct kit, then retest so it seals properly and protects the supply as intended.
Why backflow compliance matters
Backflow protection is the barrier between the drinking supply and whatever a property connects to it, and because the test is both a safety measure and a legal duty, keeping it current protects both health and compliance:
Health comes first
Compliance is mandatory
Records that hold up
How it works
How a backflow test runs, step by step
- 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.
- 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.
- 03
Test and certify
We gauge-test the assembly, rebuild anything that fails then and there where possible, then complete the certificate and lodge it with the authorities, so you finish the visit both compliant and holding the paperwork that proves it.

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 Rockdale
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 Rockdale 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.
On the compliance side we also handle scheduled maintenance plumbing, broader residential plumbing and any tap repairs a failed device happens to turn up.
Where we work
Suburbs we also cover
We test and certify backflow devices in Banksia, Bexley, Arncliffe, Brighton-Le-Sands and Kogarah, where strata blocks, shopfronts and homes with irrigation all carry testable devices that the water authority expects checked and lodged every year.
Good questions, straight answers
Backflow testing questions Rockdale locals ask
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Testable backflow devices must be tested once a year by a licensed tester, and we schedule yours ahead of the due date so a compliance notice never lands first.
Do you lodge the certificate with the authorities?
We submit every annual result to Sydney Water and the council on your behalf, so the paperwork side is handled and your records stay current without you chasing it.
My backflow test has failed, what happens now?
A failed device usually needs a worn check or relief valve rebuilt, so we rebuild the worn parts there and then where possible, then retest and certify it as compliant.
Does my house actually need a backflow device?
A home needs testable protection where a hazard connects to the mains, such as irrigation, a rainwater tank or a fire service, and we check yours and advise honestly.
Can you look after a whole strata building?
We test and certify every device across a strata block on one scheduled visit, keeping the entire building compliant and handing the committee a clean set of records.
Is the backflow work guaranteed?
Our backflow installation and repair work is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty, so any device we serviced that fails to hold is put right again at no cost to you.
