Backflow Testing & Prevention Sydney

At Good Hands, we specialise in backflow prevention services in Sydney’s Inner West. Backflow refers to the unwanted flow of water in the opposite direction. Backflow prevention devices protect potable water supplies from pollution and contamination.

By preventing contaminated water from flowing back into the water supply, you can protect public health and prevent waterborne illnesses.

Common Issues with Backflow Prevention Devices

Backflow prevention devices protect potable water supplies from pollution and contamination.

1. Uneven Pressure

High pressure might cause valves to malfunction, leading to backflow. However, low pressure can make the backflow device ineffective, which allows contaminants to enter the water supply.

2. Water Leaks

Leaks in backflow prevention devices not only require immediate attention but they also run the risk of contamination.

3. Slow Drainage

A decrease in drainage efficiency often indicates an underlying problem with your backflow plumbing. You could be dealing with a clogged or faulty backflow prevention device.
