Backflow Testing and Maintenance Trafalgar

Tank supplies and testable devices

Testable backflow prevention devices, including reduced-pressure zone devices, need periodic testing with a calibrated kit and a report. Around Trafalgar this often sits on a rainwater-to-house arrangement, an irrigation supply or a small commercial or farm amenity. We test, repair or arrange a replacement if a device fails, and we leave you with the paperwork. Send a photo of the device if you have been asked for a current test and are not sure what you have.

Reports and failed devices

If a device fails its test we explain whether a repair or a replacement is the right path, quote that work, and retest after. We test with a maintained kit and we do not sign off a fail. Ring 03 8658 7379 to book the annual test.

Which sites usually need a test

Tank-and-town arrangements, irrigation supplies, some farm amenities and small commercial sites around Trafalgar are the usual reasons a testable device is fitted. If a letter from the water authority or an auditor has asked for a current test, send a photo of the device and we will book the right kit. We test, report, and, if a device fails, quote the repair or replacement and retest after. Put a reminder in the calendar for the interval required, and book us before the letter becomes urgent. Ring 03 8658 7379.

Booking the test in time

Tell us if you have several devices on one property, so we can plan the visit. We leave a tag on the device and a report you can send on. If a device is poorly placed — hard against a tank wall, or too low to test safely — we will say so and quote a relocation if that is needed before a valid test can be done. Ring 03 8658 7379.

What we need from you

A photo of the device, the site address, and any letter from the authority or an auditor are enough to book. We bring a maintained kit, test, report and, if needed, quote a repair or replacement and retest after. If you have a tank-and-town arrangement and have never had a test, we can look at what is there and tell you whether a device is required. Ring 03 8658 7379.

After a fail

If a device fails, we explain whether a repair of the checks or a replacement is the right path, quote that work, and retest after. The report is only useful if it is accurate and current. Ring 03 8658 7379.

Who keeps the report

Keep the report with your property file and send a copy if an authority or auditor asks. We can re-send it if you lose the email. Ring 03 8658 7379.

Trafalgar pipes at a glance

Trafalgar sits on the Princes Highway in Baw Baw Shire, postcode 3824, between Yarragon and Moe, with farmland, weatherboard houses and larger rural blocks spreading toward Thorpdale, Willow Grove, Narracan and Trafalgar East. Many homes here run a rainwater tank as well as, or instead of, a town supply, and a good number still have a septic system rather than a sewer. Water services can be long runs down a gravel drive, and earthenware or PVC drains pick up roots from paddock and roadside trees.

We use cameras, locators, pressure tests and acoustic leak detection so we can see the pipework before anyone cuts a wall or opens a trench in a paddock lawn.
