A real person answers, day or night
The valve that guards your drinking water needs one check a year
A backflow prevention device does its silent work for years at a time, which is exactly why it gets forgotten. Call (02) 9072 0520 and we will test, certify and, if needed, rebuild the device protecting your supply, all in one visit.
Acreage connections most plumbers never meet
Semi-rural blocks along the Old Northern Road ridge carry testable connections that quarter-acre suburbs simply do not have, and each one needs a device matched to its hazard rating.
- Irrigation and pump lines Spring start-ups across the acre blocks bring pump lines and irrigation mains back to life, and every connection between a pump, tank or council supply needs a testable device where contamination could occur.
- Rainwater tank top-ups Tanks fed from town water through a top-up line need a correctly rated device, and many older installations predate the current requirements entirely.
- Pump sheds and outbuildings Devices tucked inside pump sheds, behind retaining walls or buried in garden beds go untested for years simply because nobody remembers they exist.
- Commercial-style connections The suburb's nursery and rural-supply businesses, stable blocks and similar higher-hazard connections along the ridge carry ratings that demand properly certified annual testing.
Backflow testing services: tested, lodged and rectified in one visit
Every device we touch gets the full treatment, from the test kit readings through to the paperwork Sydney Water requires, so your property stays certified without you chasing anyone: plumbing work of every kind sits behind this one, and the testing itself covers four things.
Annual device testing
Every testable backflow prevention device registered with Sydney Water needs an annual test by a licensed plumber, and we complete the test, lodge the paperwork with the water authority and rectify any failure the device shows, all in one visit.
New device installation
Irrigation systems, tank-fed top-up lines, fire hose reels and commercial connections all need correctly rated devices installed, and we size and fit the right protection for each connection so your supply stays protected from the day it goes in properly.
Rectification and repairs
A device that fails its test usually needs new seals, springs or a complete replacement body, and we carry the common parts on the van so most failed units pass their retest the same visit rather than waiting weeks for parts.
Compliance and records
Sydney Water keeps a register of every testable device in its network, and test results must be lodged by the plumber who performed them, so we submit your certificate promptly and keep copies on file for council or audit requests.
Premises around the ridge that carry test obligations
Beyond the homes, several local property types carry formal backflow obligations, and their certificates lapse quietly every year until someone asks for them.
The public primary on Old Northern Road. School water services carry testable devices requiring annual certification, and we schedule the visit around term time so the certificate never lapses.
Round Corner Medical Centre. Medical and allied health premises sit in a higher-hazard category, which means both the device rating and the testing frequency are stricter than a household's.
The memorial hall on Old Northern Road. Community buildings running fire hose reels or irrigation connections need current certificates on hand for council and insurer requests alike.
Function venues and club kitchens. Commercial kitchen connections around the village centre need annual testing, and we bundle several devices on one property into a single visit.

Where devices fail and why
Most failures announce themselves quietly, and catching them early is the difference between a seal kit and a new body.
A device that drips or drops pressure
A device that drips from its relief port or shows a pressure drop across the valve has failed its test, and the causes range from debris under the seat to worn springs, all straightforward to rectify once diagnosed.
Devices nobody has tested in years
Devices on rural and semi-commercial properties get missed because nobody receives a reminder, yet an untested device leaves the property's water supply legally non-compliant and unprotected, and we can bring any overdue device back onto schedule in one visit.
Devices lost to time and gardens
Older acreage homes often have devices buried behind retaining walls, hidden in pump sheds or fitted decades ago with no tag, and we locate, identify and, where needed, replace them with modern testable units that meet current standards.
Why staying current matters: three reasons to book the test
- Your household's health sits behind that valve A failed device can let fertiliser, chemicals or stagnant water draw back into the drinking supply, and on properties with tanks, pumps and irrigation the pathways are more numerous than most owners realise.
- Compliance is not optional Sydney Water requires registered devices to be tested and lodged annually, and an expired certificate can complicate property sales, insurance claims and council inspections at exactly the wrong moment.
- Early rectification is the affordable rectification A device caught at its annual test usually needs seals and springs, while one left failing for years often needs a full replacement, so the scheduled visit pays for itself.
How it works
How a backflow test runs, step by step
The process is deliberately simple, and you know the price before any of it begins.
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0520 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.
- 02
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
Test, record and lodge
Your plumber isolates the line, connects the test kit to the device, records the readings against the standard, rectifies anything that fails, and lodges the passing result with Sydney Water before restoring your supply.

Backed for life
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 Dural
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 Dural 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.
The same crew that tests your devices also handles the scheduled maintenance plumbing that keeps a big home ahead of failures.
Where our backflow testing vans travel
Testing rounds cover Westleigh, Cherrybrook, Glenhaven, Galston and Hornsby alongside the home ridge, with every visit carried by a licensed plumber who knows what acreage supply runs, pump sheds and tank-fed lines look like before the test kit even comes out of the van.
Good questions, straight answers
Backflow questions Dural locals ask
How often does a backflow prevention device need testing?
Sydney Water requires every registered testable device to be tested annually by a licensed backflow plumber, and the result must be lodged with the authority each year to keep the property's certification current.
Which properties need a backflow device?
Any property with a connection that could contaminate the supply, such as irrigation, tank top-up lines, hose reels or food premises, needs a correctly rated device fitted at that connection point.
What happens if a device fails its test?
A failed device is reported to Sydney Water and must be rectified promptly, usually with new seals or springs, and because the van stocks those parts most devices pass a retest the same visit.
Do you test devices on septic and pump-fed properties?
Yes, pump sheds, tank top-up lines and irrigation connections on acreage properties all fall within our testing rounds, and we locate forgotten devices and bring them back to standard each year.
How much does a backflow test cost?
Every job is priced upfront in writing before work begins, the call out fee is $0, and you receive a fixed price covering the test, the lodgement and any rectification the device needs.
Can an overdue device be brought back into compliance?
An overdue device can be tested, rectified if needed and have its results lodged with Sydney Water in a single visit, which restores the property's compliance without any penalty applying in most cases.
