Backflow and TMV Testing Brisbane Specialists
Keeping your water free from contaminants protects the health of you and your family. TMV and backflow testing in Brisbane ensure your water remains safe for drinking, cooking and hygiene.
Richmond Plumbing and Drainage are highly trained, licenced specialists providing professional-quality backflow and TMV testing in Brisbane.
When the mains water pressure on your property is lower than the pipe pressure, backflow can occur. This can happen for many reasons, but it is most likely due to back siphonage from a vacuum in your water main. If your property’s water supply is in contact with chemicals or pollutants, these contaminants can be drawn back into the water main.
A backflow prevention device is a specialised device designed to prevent potentially harmful wastewater or polluted water from flowing back into your system. By creating a one-way barrier in your pipes, the backflow prevention device stops water from reversing direction when the pressure changes. All backflow devices require mandatory annual testing by a licensed plumber trained in backflow prevention. Richmond Plumbing and Drainage have the skills and experience to provide trustworthy backflow testing in Brisbane.
Our Backflow and TMV Testing Services
Richmond Plumbing and Drainage’s backflow and TMV testing in Brisbane includes the following services:
Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) Testing
Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs) are designed to mix hot and cold water to a pre-selected temperature, usually 60° C. These devices are used in a range of different environments, including health care facilities, aged care centres, hospitals and nursing homes to prevent scalding.
Valves operate using a sensor and a thermostatic element. The sensor responds to changes in the incoming hot and cold water. The sensor also accounts for the distance from the valve to the outlet to compensate for any temperature loss.
Regular TMV testing is necessary to reduce the likelihood of valve failure. Richmond Plumbing and Drainage offers TMV testing in Brisbane on a regular schedule and will submit a commissioning and complete maintenance report upon test completion.
The Richmond Plumbing and Drainage team are fully licensed and trained according to Australian legislation to ensure the safe delivery of hot water to all your ablutionary outlets.
