Backflow Prevention & TMV Testing Brisbane

Protect Your Water Supply. Stay Compliant. Avoid Costly Issues.

Need backflow prevention testing or TMV servicing in Brisbane? Plumbaround helps commercial properties, body corporates, property managers and businesses stay compliant with annual testing, reporting and maintenance for backflow prevention devices and thermostatic mixing valves.

Backflow devices protect the drinking water supply from contamination, while TMVs help control hot water temperature to reduce scalding risk in sensitive environments. In Brisbane, testable backflow devices must be tested annually by an endorsed backflow tester, with results submitted to the council within 10 business days. 

What we handle

Backflow Prevention Testing Brisbane

Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows backwards into the clean water supply. This can happen because of pressure changes in the plumbing system and may involve chemicals, waste water, irrigation systems, grease traps or other contaminants.

For commercial and multi-residential properties, backflow prevention is not just a maintenance issue — it is a compliance responsibility.

We can help with:

Annual backflow prevention device testing

Backflow device servicing and repairs

RPZ valve testing

Double-check valve testing

Registered air gap checks

Council Form 9 reporting

Compliance reminders for property managers

Repairs or replacement of failed devices

Brisbane City Council states that property owners are responsible for arranging annual testing of registered backflow prevention devices by an endorsed tester.

What we handle

TMV Testing & Servicing Brisbane

Thermostatic mixing valves, commonly called TMVs, control hot water temperature before it reaches taps, showers and fixtures. They are commonly required in facilities where vulnerable people may be exposed to hot water, including healthcare, aged care, childcare and public-use buildings.

A faulty TMV can create two major risks: water that is too hot and unsafe, or water that is too cool and not performing as intended.

We can help with:

Queensland requirements around temperature control devices apply to a range of commercial, public and accessible facilities, with TMVs being one recognised form of temperature control device.
