Unfortunately, backflow is a common problem for Melbourne homeowners and businesses. It is potentially a serious and dangerous problem that results from water flowing in the opposite direction to normal through pipes and plumbing systems. There are a number of reasons why this can cause a hazardous situation but one of the most common is when a water supply is connected to a source of pollution. The result is that heavy metals or other pollutants can enter your supply without your knowledge.

 

Our team at The Plumbing and Roofing Company have encountered these types of problems on numerous occasions so are therefore familiar with installing the appropriate backflow prevention devices. Once the work has been carried out, you will receive a certificate of compliance that will be issued by one of our licensed plumbers. It is essential that all backflow prevention devices are tested on an annual basis. This will ensure that they are operating efficiently and correctly meaning that your water supply will be free from any contamination.
