Common Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
How often does a backflow prevention device need testing?
Testable backflow prevention devices generally require annual testing by a licensed plumber with backflow endorsement, with results reported to the relevant water authority. We hold the schedule and handle the reporting.
What is TMV testing and do I need it?
Thermostatic mixing valves blend hot and cold water to prevent scalding at patient- and public-accessible outlets. Under AS 4032.3 they require annual testing and servicing. If you operate a healthcare, aged care, childcare or disability facility, you almost certainly need it.
Do you provide a compliance certificate?
Yes — for all prescribed plumbing work, in line with VBA requirements. A copy is provided with your job documentation.
Can you attend after hours?
Yes. Planned works are usually scheduled outside operating hours to avoid disruption, and our emergency line is answered 24/7.
Do you use CCTV for blocked drains?
Where the blockage is recurring or the cause isn't obvious, yes. It's the difference between clearing a drain and fixing it.
