Backflow Prevention Testing Melbourne


Backflow, quite simply as the name suggests, is the backward motion of water, in the direction opposite to where it was meant to be headed. The problems occur when it can lead to contamination which tends to worsen over time, causing some serious safety as well as health hazards, if overlooked. And as per the building codes in Australia, there should not be any trace of backflow inside an inhabited building. So, to achieve this standard, we at McCarthy Plumbing Group offer regular checkups, followed up with necessary maintenance. We have completed specialised training in backflow prevention testing.


The single most way to prevent backlow in any building – be it a factory or a commercial outfit, is to use some preventive devices. During any construction, building codes mandate the use of preventive devices to ensure that the quality of water is on par with the Government standards. But what usually happens is that these initially installed devices tend to fail completely and eventually backflowing sets in degrading the water quality.

Our prevention services include:

  • Testing and inspection.
  • Installation of preventive devices.
  • Regular checkups.
  • Repairs, Servicing and a comprehensive maintenance of all plumbing equipment, including devices, piping and related components.
