I noticed some black mould under my kitchen sink and heard about PP through word of mouth. They lived up to their reputation and went above and beyond. Jasper was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. All was fixed in a timely manner and very affordable.

Josh has been out to sort out a few plumbing problems I have experienced since buying my house. With next to no knowledge about plumbing myself he is more than happy to send the guys out to have a look at the most miniscule of problems (like an empty gas bottle lol), nothing is a hassle! They are always available to come out very quickly, super friendly, and prompt and efficient. I would 100% recommend Josh and the team at Projection Plumbing!

Josh & Jason were fabulous & did an amazing job. I have had to put up with cold showers for I don’t know when! I’ve been avoiding dealing with multiple repairs & tradies. What a pleasure dealing with Projection Plumbing. They were very professional, on time, price was good & they cleaned up afterwards. The job turned out to be more challenging then first thought but they were determined to fix my problem & I’m very grateful. I wouldn’t use anyone else.

Josh was amazing. He came exactly when he said he would and messaged updates when he said he would. He understood the problem and tried some cheaper options for us before he had to remove our toilet completely. Josh was extremely friendly and talked me through every step as he went. He left our toilet in perfect working order and cleaned up after the work. I will definitely use Projection Plumbing again after this experience. Thanks Josh for your outstanding service

We were looking for a plumber to use as our regular and Josh was highly recommended by one of our customers. We are a restaurant and had a hot water heater meltdown and of course desperate to get it fixed asap. Josh came to the rescue and arrived on time the next day and installed a new system and did a fantastic job at a realistic price. We couldn’t be happier with his service. He will certainly now be our regular plumber. I’ve already recommended him to my brother in law who had the same problem and he also had the best of service from Josh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are backflow protection devices typically installed?
Backflow protection devices are typically installed at critical points in a plumbing system where there is a risk of drinking water contamination. These devices are strategically placed to prevent the unwanted reversal of water flow, ensuring that contaminants do not enter the clean water supply.
What are the different types of backflow protection devices available?
There are several types of backflow protection devices designed to safeguard your water supply. These include:
- Double Check Valve: This device consists of two independently operating check valves to prevent backflow.
- Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker: It allows air to enter the line, preventing backflow by breaking the siphon effect.
- Reduced Pressure Zone Device: This device creates a zone of reduced pressure, ensuring that contaminants cannot flow back into the water supply.
- Pressure Vacuum Breaker: It combines an air inlet valve and check valves to protect against backflow. Understanding the specific needs of your plumbing system will help determine which type of device is most suitable for your application.
What are the signs that my backflow device may require maintenance or repairs?
It’s essential to regularly inspect your backflow protection device for any signs of issues that may compromise its functionality. Testable backflow valves must be annually tested by qualified and backflow-endorsed plumbers. Signs that maintenance or repairs may be needed include:
- Excessive Leakage: If you notice water leaking from the device or its surrounding components, it could indicate a problem that requires attention.
- Strange Sounds: Unusual noises, such as hissing or gurgling, can signal issues with the backflow device’s operation.
- Inoperative: If the device is no longer functioning as expected or is not preventing backflow effectively, it’s crucial to have it inspected and repaired promptly to maintain the safety of your water supply.
