Do I need annual backflow testing in The Junction?

Yes, property owners with testable backflow prevention devices must have them inspected annually. This ensures the valve operates correctly to prevent back-siphonage into the public water mains.

The council mandates that any property with a high or medium hazard rating must have compliant backflow prevention devices installed and tested. We ensure all our work meets these strict regulatory standards.

Is your response time fast enough for urgent issues?

Can your team fix pipes damaged by ground movement?
