Backflow Problems
Backflow Prevention Testing and Installation Services
Backflow prevention testing and installation services can save you hundreds and thousands of dollars in water bills and flooding fixes.
Backflow is the reverse flow of water in your plumbing pipes can be caused by:
- A drop of pressure in the main pipe system
- A pump operating on a site, located on a higher level compared to the main line
- Faulty plumbing, inadequate and unprofessional installation and hoses submerged in tanks, pool, and buckets
Backflow issues can result in chemicals, bacteria, mud, and debris to contiminate your water system and endanger your health.
To comply with the the Plumbing Code of Australia 2011 and the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS, and prevent you from any liabilities, you should regularly have your water and plumbing systems serviced in the following areas:
- Testing: Commercial buildings and some households are required to have backflow prevention devices installed
- Maintenance: There are many types of backflow prevention devices that can prevent backflow as well as back siphonage. We recommend you frequently always check the o-rings, clean the gates or cassette of the backflow prevention device to ensure that it is working correctly
The integrity of your water supply depends on whether your water systems are working properly. Rydeau Plumbing can assess your hazard level, install a backflow prevention device, test, and maintain it.
If you are unsure whether your plumbing issues are caused by backflow, contact us today.

Testimonials
“Ben and the team provided exceptional service and knowledge. The service was friendly, and when the time came for the job to be done they arrived on time, and finished the job within the time frame and on budget.
I cannot recommend the Rydeau Plumbing highly enough for their service, workmanship, friendly manner and professionalism.”
“We contacted Rydeau Plumbing when we started having problems with our hot water system. The replacement of the hot water system was competitively priced and the communication from Ben about when the system would arrive and could be installed was excellent. They were also very accommodating about arranging a time for the installation of the unit. When we need a plumber in the future, Rydeau Plumbing will be our first call.”
“Rydeau Plumbing is my first point of contact for all our plumbing works at our childcare centers, nursing homes and shopping centers.
From their excellent customer service to the completion of work, it has been the most amazing experience! All aspects of their work are conducted perfectly and professionally. They are the only plumbing service in the ACT I use and trust.”
“Ben was so amazing. He came to the rescue (at very short notice) when we were in all kinds of trouble. Friendly, honest and professional.”
