Why We're Different
A Specialist, Not a Generalist
Backflow prevention is a technical compliance discipline. Choosing a dedicated specialist over a general plumber means better outcomes, proper documentation, and full peace of mind.
Compliance Specialists
We focus exclusively on backflow prevention, including testing, installation, and compliance reporting. This is not a side service; it is our entire business.
VBA Accredited Testers
Fully licensed under the Victorian Building Authority (Licence No. 28465). All testing is performed to AS/NZS 2845.1 standards.
30+ Years of Experience
Alan's career began in 1990. Decades of hands-on experience across commercial and domestic sectors inform every job we undertake.
End-to-End Reporting
We submit compliance certificates directly to Melbourne's water authorities, including Yarra Valley Water, South East Water, and Greater Western Water.
Direct Customer Service
You deal with Alan directly. No call centres, no subcontractors. The same accredited specialist attends every job.
Commercial Capability
From single tenancies to large commercial premises, strata buildings, and industrial sites, we manage multi-device programs with ease.
Accreditation & Licensing

Backflow prevention work in Victoria is a licensed plumbing discipline regulated by the Victorian Building Authority. Only VBA-licensed practitioners may legally test, install, or maintain testable backflow prevention devices.
