Protect your water supply with certified backflow prevention from Exact Plumbing and Gasfitting. Servicing Brisbane to Gold Coast, we install, test and maintain backflow prevention devices for residential, commercial and industrial properties—ensuring your drinking water stays clean, safe, and fully compliant.
Backflow happens when contaminated water flows in the wrong direction—reversing from a property’s plumbing system back into the main water supply. This can occur due to pressure changes caused by burst pipes, pump failures, or sudden water main use.
Without proper prevention, this can allow harmful substances like chemicals, bacteria, or wastewater to enter your clean water supply.
To prevent this, the Brisbane City Council require backflow prevention devices on certain properties—particularly those with high-risk systems like irrigation, fire services, or commercial kitchens.
At Exact Plumbing and Gasfitting, we’re fully licensed and accredited to carry out all backflow prevention work, including:
If your property already has a device installed, you’re legally required to have it tested every 12 months. We’ll take care of the entire process—from testing and adjustments to council certification.
