What is Backflow and Why Does It Matter?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction from its intended path, usually due to a sudden change in water pressure. This can draw contaminants, including chemicals, bacteria, and other harmful substances, from external sources into your clean water supply. This can put your health at risk and lead to potential plumbing issues.
Our backflow prevention plumbing services in Perth are designed to stop backflow from occurring, ensuring your water supply remains safe and compliant with all regulations. We specialise in the installation and maintenance of backflow prevention devices that effectively block contaminants from entering your system, safeguarding your household, business, and the wider community.
Common causes of backflow include:
- Burst water mains
- High demand from firefighting services
- Cross-connections with irrigation, pools, or chemical systems
A properly installed and maintained backflow prevention device ensures that contaminated water cannot re-enter the public water system, keeping your property — and your community — safe.
Signs You May Need Backflow Prevention Services
Backflow can pose serious health risks and damage to your water supply if left untreated. Being able to spot early signs of potential backflow problems can save you from costly repairs and ensure that your water remains safe. Here are some key indicators that you may need backflow prevention services:
Unusual Taste, Smell, or Colour in Your Tap Water
One of the first signs that something may be wrong with your water supply is a noticeable change in taste, smell, or colour. If your tap water suddenly tastes bitter, metallic, or has an unpleasant odour, it may be a sign that contaminants from an external source are entering your water supply due to backflow.
Decreased Water Pressure or Fluctuations
Backflow issues can cause irregularities in water pressure. If you suddenly notice that the water pressure in your taps, showers, or toilets is weaker than usual or fluctuates unexpectedly, this could be a sign of a malfunctioning backflow system. Backflow can interfere with the normal water flow, causing pressure to drop or vary.
Visible Particles or Debris in Your Water
Finding particles or debris floating in your tap water is a serious concern and can be a direct indication of contamination. If you observe dirt, sediment, or even unusual floating substances in your water, backflow may be pulling dirt, rust, or other pollutants from outside sources into your pipes.
Irrigation Systems, Elevated Water Tanks, or Chemical Connections
Properties with irrigation systems, elevated water tanks, or chemical connections are at a higher risk of backflow. These systems are often connected to the main water supply, and any malfunction could cause hazardous materials or pollutants to flow back into your drinking water.
Is Your Property at Risk?
Many types of properties are legally required to install and maintain backflow prevention devices in Perth, especially if there’s a higher risk of contamination.
You may need a backflow prevention device if you own or manage:
- Commercial premises (cafes, restaurants, shops)
- Multi-storey residential buildings
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Industrial sites and factories
- Schools and childcare centres
- Properties with irrigation systems, pools, or tanks
If you’re unsure whether you need a device or testing, our team can assess your property and provide the right advice.
