Backflow Testing & Certification
Keep your property, site or vehicle compliant.
At Reed Plumbing and Drainage Solutions, we provide professional backflow testing, certification, reporting and repairs for commercial properties, body corporates, trade partners and vehicles across Melbourne.
Backflow prevention devices help protect the drinking water supply by stopping contaminated water from flowing back into the main water network. Regular testing confirms your device is working correctly and helps you meet water authority requirements.
What is backflow testing?
Backflow testing checks that your backflow prevention device is operating as it should. A licensed backflow plumber will inspect and test the device, confirm whether it passes or fails, and provide the required report or certification.
If the device fails, we can explain the issue clearly and assist with repairs, replacement or retesting where required.
