Backflow prevention containment devices stop contaminated water from siphoning backward into the clean municipal drinking supply. Under City of Gold Coast regulations, properties with medium-to-high risk ratings must have these valves tested annually by an endorsed plumber. We handle the entire testing, repair, and legal council lodgement process for you.
TMVs blend hot and cold water to deliver a safe, regulated temperature at the tap, preventing severe scalding. Annual testing and internal component servicing are mandatory for commercial properties, childcare centres, aged care facilities, and medical spaces. We keep your valves responsive and fully compliant with Australian Standard AS3500.4.
Under Queensland tenancy laws, landlords can only pass water consumption charges onto tenants if the rental property is proven to be fully water efficient. We perform comprehensive checks on all taps, showerheads, and toilets, install flow restrictors if required, and issue formal Water Efficiency Certificates so you can legally recover your utility costs.

FAQS ・ QUICK ANSWERS
Any commercial or residential property with a registered backflow prevention device installed at the water meter or boundary must be tested every 12 months. This includes restaurants, commercial kitchens, car washes, factories, medical centres, and properties with chemical washdown bays or multi-storey fire services. The City of Gold Coast actively monitors compliance and issues strict fines for missed annual tests.
According to the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) in Queensland, a property must meet strict flow-rate criteria to be deemed water efficient. This includes a maximum flow rate of 9 litres per minute for showerheads, internal cold water taps, and kitchen taps, as well as dual-flush toilets that do not exceed 6.5 litres on a full flush. We test these exact metrics and issue a legal compliance certificate for your property manager.
A standard single valve test usually takes between 20 to 30 minutes, provided the device is easily accessible and in good working order. If a device fails the initial pressure test, we carry common spare parts in our vehicles to perform immediate repairs or rebuilds, saving you from a costly secondary call-out fee.
We provide accredited backflow, TMV and water efficiency testing across Burleigh Suburbs, Varsity Lakes, Robina, Currumbin, Tugun, Palm Beach, Elanora and surrounding areas.
