Keeping Water Clean
So, what is backflow? Backflow is a situation that can occur when water pressure in a plumbing system falls below atmospheric pressure. This can cause water to flow backward, or ‘back up,’ into the system. Backflow can contaminate drinking water supplies and present a serious health hazard. It can also cause damage to plumbing fixtures, appliances and equipment. That’s why a backflow prevention device is essential. But they require annual testing to ensure they’re operating as they should. That's where we come in.
At Dunnrite Plumbing Services, we provide backflow inspections and testing for homes and businesses throughout the Whitsundays, including Airlie Beach, Cannonvale and Proserpine.

Routine checks help identify faults early, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring the ongoing safety of the water supply system.
What types of properties require backflow testing?
Backflow testing is commonly required for commercial, industrial and some residential properties where there is a risk of contamination. This includes sites with irrigation systems, fire services or chemical use. Regulations determine which properties must comply, ensuring potential hazards to the water supply are properly managed.
What are the risks of not testing backflow devices?
Failure to test backflow devices can result in contaminated water entering the clean supply, posing serious health risks. It may also lead to non-compliance with regulations, potential fines and increased liability. Regular testing helps prevent these risks and ensures the plumbing system continues to operate safely.
