A planned test.
A clear record of the result.

Backflow prevention helps protect the drinking-water supply where a cross-connection could allow water to move in the wrong direction. The required protection depends on the property and its plumbing use.

Jetty Plumbing provides backflow testing, maintenance and installation services around Coffs Harbour. We discuss the existing device, access and any authority requirements before confirming the booking.

The City of Coffs Harbour states that registered backflow prevention devices must be tested annually by a qualified tester. Send your reminder, device information and last report so the appropriate test and reporting can be arranged.

Cross-connections / device function

Water should flow
in the intended direction.

Backflow can occur when pressure conditions cause water to reverse through a cross-connection. Protection is selected for the actual plumbing arrangement and hazard rather than assumed from the business name alone.

An inspection and test help establish how the fitted device performs. Tell us if water use, equipment or pipework has changed since the last assessment, because those changes may affect the review.

For other water fittings that need attention, ask about pipe and valve repairs. Broader installation work can be discussed through our civil plumbing service.

Testing & follow-up / clear documentation

Record the result.
Explain any work needed.

Provide device identification, location and previous records before the appointment. We discuss access and whether the test needs a water interruption so the visit can be coordinated with the property contact.

If a device does not meet the applicable test criteria, we explain the finding and discuss repair or replacement and any further testing needed. Ask what is included in the booking and how reports will be provided or submitted.

Testing a backflow device is a defined task. If you also need TMV testing or other property plumbing checks, include those separately in your enquiry.

FAQs

Your backflow testing questions, answered.

How often is backflow testing required in Coffs Harbour?

The City of Coffs Harbour says registered backflow prevention devices must be tested annually by a qualified tester. Send your reminder and device details so we can confirm the booking and applicable reporting requirements.

What is backflow?

It is a reversal of water flow that can allow water from a cross-connection to enter a drinking-water supply. Backflow protection is chosen for the plumbing arrangement and the relevant hazard.

Does every property need the same device?

No. The plumbing use, connections and relevant requirements influence the protection needed. Tell us about the site and any changes in equipment or use so the arrangement can be assessed.

What should I send before the appointment?

Provide the address, device identification and location, previous test report, authority reminder and site contact. Include access restrictions and preferred times for any water interruption.

Will testing interrupt the water supply?

It may. We discuss the device, site operation and testing access before the visit so any interruption can be planned with the property contact.

What happens if the device fails?

We explain the result and discuss the repair or replacement needed, along with any further test. The scope and cost of additional work are discussed before proceeding.

Will I receive a test report?

We document the findings and discuss how the report will be provided and forwarded where required. Send any specific authority notice so the reporting task is clear before the booking.

Which areas do you service?

We are based in Coffs Harbour and work across the Coffs Coast, including Sawtell, Toormina and Woolgoolga. Send the address and project details so we can confirm availability for your property.
