Backflow & Pressure Testing

Testing and plumbing support for backflow prevention devices and water-pressure requirements.

Protect the water supply and keep required devices working correctly.

Backflow prevention helps protect drinking water from contamination, while correct water pressure supports safe and reliable plumbing operation. Testing and servicing should be carried out by appropriately qualified professionals where required.

Testing, maintenance and practical follow-up work.

01 Backflow testing

Test suitable testable backflow prevention devices where required.

02 Device checks

Inspect relevant device condition and operation as part of the service.

03 Pressure testing

Assess water pressure where a plumbing issue or requirement calls for testing.

04 Fault diagnosis

Identify obvious problems affecting device or pressure performance.

05 Repairs & servicing

Complete suitable repairs or servicing to plumbing components where required.

06 Compliance support

Provide applicable testing information or documentation within the scope of the work.

RECURRING ISSUE?

A CCTV inspection can identify damage, roots or a repeated obstruction before unnecessary excavation.

A clear four-step path.

From your first call, we assess the blockage, explain the likely cause, and recommend the right solution before work begins. Our team then clears the drain safely and efficiently, checks the surrounding pipework for underlying issues, and completes a final flow test to make sure everything is working properly before we leave.

IDENTIFY THE DEVICE

We confirm the backflow device or pressure issue and site requirements.

CARRY OUT TESTING

The relevant device or plumbing is tested using the appropriate procedure.

REVIEW RESULTS

We explain whether the result is satisfactory or further work is needed.

REPAIR & RETEST

Where required and approved, suitable repairs are completed and testing is repeated.

Common signs your backflow & pressure testing needs attention.

If something feels different, keeps returning or is getting worse, it is worth having the plumbing checked before the issue becomes more disruptive.

USEFUL ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BOOK.

Questions vary by property. These are the practical starting points we cover most often.

WHAT IS A BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE?

It is a plumbing device designed to help prevent contaminated or non-potable water from flowing back into the drinking-water supply.

DOES EVERY PROPERTY NEED BACKFLOW TESTING?

Not every property has the same requirements. Testing depends on the type of device, property use and applicable local requirements.

HOW OFTEN DOES A BACKFLOW DEVICE NEED TO BE TESTED?

Testing frequency depends on the device and regulatory requirements. If you are unsure what applies to your property, we can help identify the device and required next step.

CAN YOU REPAIR A BACKFLOW DEVICE THAT FAILS TESTING?

Where the device is serviceable and the repair is within scope, we can discuss suitable repairs and retesting. Replacement may be recommended if the device is no longer reliable.

CAN YOU INVESTIGATE HIGH OR LOW WATER PRESSURE?

Yes. We can assess water-pressure symptoms and test the plumbing where appropriate to help identify whether pressure is contributing to the problem.
