Certified Backflow Compliance
Protect your clean water supply. Stop contamination at the source.
Backflow prevention is mandatory for many commercial and industrial sites under Sydney Water regulations.
The Plumbing Paramedics are fully accredited to test, install and maintain certified backflow prevention devices.
Our plumbers service the Hills District and surrounding suburbs, ensuring your business meets NSW health and plumbing compliance.
Businesses and facilities that handle chemicals, wastewater or are connected to variable-pressure supply lines are legally required to have backflow prevention devices.
Failure to maintain this can result in fines, disconnection and public health violations.
Who Needs Backflow Prevention?
Backflow prevention devices must be tested upon installation and every 12 months thereafter under NSW plumbing laws.

What Sydney Locals Say About Us
What is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when a change in water pressure causes contaminated water to flow backwards into the drinking water system. This often happens during bursts, firefighting activity, or when a cross-connection exists between clean and dirty water systems.
Without a tested and functioning backflow device, your property could be releasing harmful substances such as faecal matter, grease, pesticides or industrial waste back into the main water network.
NSW Health and Sydney Water enforce mandatory testing to minimise this public health risk. Properties found non-compliant during routine audits can face water supply restrictions or disconnection, along with cost recovery for any damages or investigative work.
Our Backflow Process
The Plumbing Paramedics follow a precise, regulation-aligned process to protect your site:
- Site risk categorisation and device recommendation
- Installation of the appropriate device (e.g. RPZ valve, double-check valve, air gap)
- Testing and certification on completion
- Submission of compliance documentation to Sydney Water
- Set up of annual testing schedule and reminders
- Emergency servicing and repair when faults are detected
You receive complete documentation and assurance that your property is safe, compliant and future-proofed against penalties or shutdowns.
Stay Compliant. Protect Your Supply. Avoid Costly Fines.
Backflow is more than just an inconvenience, it’s a liability. Trust a team that understands the laws, knows the systems, and delivers watertight compliance for your site.
We provide full servicing and device management programs for ongoing peace of mind.
