Inner West backflow compliance testing by licensed plumbers
Fill in your details and we’ll call you back within 4 minutes.
Under normal conditions, water flows one way, from the mains into your property. Under certain pressure conditions, water can flow backwards. If that happened with contaminated water from an irrigation system or swimming pool, it’s a public health issue. Backflow prevention devices are one-way valves that physically prevent reverse flow.
Backflow testing is essential where there’s a chance of contamination entering the drinking water supply. If you have a backflow preventer on your property, regular testing is required by NSW and water authority regulations.
This generally applies to:
Annual testing ensures your backflow device is working correctly and helps you stay compliant, reducing the risk of council notices, fines, or service restrictions.
We keep it simple and effective.
Safe Hands. Reliable Service. Champion Results.

EXCELLENT Based on 103 reviews Posted on Google Douglas Macpherson10 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Champion Plumbing & Drains because of their advertised "$0 call-out fee" to replace two laundry taps and a washing machine hose. Once on-site, the technician showed me an official quote on a screen for $1,300. To be clear: the replacement parts cost less than $50 at Bunnings, and the entire job took me 20 minutes to complete myself once I sent them away. I followed up via their official web chat to ask if this $1,300 figure was the standard company rate for such a minor task. They failed to respond. This business model relies on a "free" hook to get inside your home, followed by an astronomical quote thousands of percent above market rates. It is an exploitative tactic. Inner West residents: please look for a plumber with transparent pricing and avoid this company.Posted on Google Sally Oughton6 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Annually, by a licensed plumber with a backflow testing endorsement. We do the test, issue the compliance certificate and submit the required documentation to Sydney Water.
Only licensed plumbers who are authorised to perform backflow testing and issue certifications can carry out the tests.
Absolutely! We provide the necessary certification and send the results to the relevant authority when required.
If a device doesn’t pass, we’ll walk you through what went wrong and discuss your repair or replacement options. Once everything is fixed, we’ll retest the device to ensure it meets compliance.
Of course! We offer testing reminders so you won’t miss your annual deadline.
Most standard homes have backflow protection integrated into the water meter. You’re likely to need a separate testable device if you have an irrigation system or a swimming pool connected to the mains.
