A real person answers, day or night
The quiet plumbing job that protects the water everyone on the street drinks
If a hose sits in a full bucket or an irrigation line ties into the mains, a pressure drop can suck that water backwards, and a tested backflow device is what stands in its way.
Where backflow risk shows up in these streets
Backflow rules bite hardest where a property does more than ordinary domestic use, and the suburb has plenty of those.
Boundary Road businesses
Second dwellings and irrigation
Older cross-connections
The backflow work we handle
Backflow is a licensed, certified corner of plumbing, so we cover the full cycle from choosing the right device through installation, annual testing and lodging the certificate that keeps you compliant:
Backflow device installation
Where a property needs protection, we select the correct containment or zone device for the hazard rating, install it at the right point on the supply, and commission it so the drinking water stays sealed off from any real risk.
Annual testing
Testable devices must be checked every year by an accredited tester, so we run the certified test, confirm the valves are holding as they should, and pick up any wear or seepage before it can compromise the protection it provides.
Certification and paperwork
Passing the test is only useful if it is recorded, so we register the certificate with the council, keep your compliance current, and hand you a copy for your own records without you ever chasing it up.
Repairs and rebuilds
When a device will not pass, we service or rebuild it rather than reaching straight for a full replacement, swapping the worn check valves and seals, then retesting so it certifies cleanly and the protection is restored.
Staying compliant year after year, without the chase
A backflow device is not a fit-and-forget job, because the certificate lapses every year and an expired one can land on a business owner at the worst time.
Reminders that land early

Backflow problems we get called about
A failed annual test
When a device fails its yearly test, the internal check valves have usually worn or fouled, and we service or rebuild the unit on the spot where we can, then retest and certify it so your compliance is restored.
An overdue certificate
An expired backflow certificate is a common surprise for new owners and tenants, and we track down the existing device, test its condition and bring the paperwork back up to date so the property is compliant again.
Why backflow testing is worth staying on top of
Backflow protection is easy to forget until it is asked for, but the reasons it exists are the kind you do not want to learn the hard way:
- It protects real health A backflow event can pull chemicals, garden water or worse into the pipes that feed kitchens and bathrooms, so the device works alongside good water filtration to keep what comes out safe.
- Compliance is not optional For flagged properties the annual test is a requirement, and letting it lapse can put a business offside with the council, so staying current simply avoids the headache.
- Small device, big consequences The cost of keeping a device tested is minor next to a contamination scare or a compliance notice, so the yearly check is easy insurance to hold.
How it works
How a backflow job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.

Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Tested and lodged
Once the work is approved, we install or test the device, complete the certified report on the spot, walk you through the result, and lodge the certificate with the authority so your compliance is sorted for another year.

Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Mortdale
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Mortdale works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Certified compliance work sits neatly beside the everyday plumbing we take on.
Where we work
Suburbs we reach beyond the home streets
Backflow testing and certification also cover Penshurst, Oatley, Hurstville, Peakhurst and Allawah, where businesses and homes that run pools, irrigation or a second dwelling carry the same testable devices and the same annual deadline to keep them current every year.
Good questions, straight answers
Backflow testing questions Mortdale locals ask
Do I actually need a backflow device?
You do if your property has a flagged hazard like irrigation, a pool, a granny flat or commercial use, and we can tell you quickly whether your setup falls under the testing rules.
Which local properties need backflow testing here?
Mostly the commercial and light-industrial premises in the Boundary Road area, plus homes with pools, irrigation or granny flats, all of which carry the cross-connections the rules are written to protect.
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Testable devices need a certified test once a year, and we keep your due date on file and remind you ahead of time so the certificate never quietly lapses on you.
Who do you lodge the certificate with?
We lodge the passed certificate with the relevant authority and give you your own copy to keep, so your compliance is documented without you dealing with the paperwork yourself.
Do you charge to attend a backflow test?
No fee applies just to attend, because the call out is $0, and the licensed tester sets a fixed written price for the test or any repair before beginning any of it.
Do you test devices for the food shops on the Morts Road strip?
Yes, we test and certify the backflow devices on the food businesses around the Pitt Street corner and the Morts Road strip, and keep their annual paperwork current so trading carries on.
