Backflow Prevention & Testing Services

Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction than intended in your plumbing system. This is a concern because it can allow contaminants to enter your clean water supply. Backflow preventers are devices installed to stop this from happening, protecting your drinking water from potential health hazards.

Most municipalities require annual testing of backflow prevention devices. However, requirements can vary by location and type of facility. Commercial properties, irrigation systems, and properties with higher risk factors may have more frequent testing requirements. We can help you determine the specific requirements for your property.

If your backflow prevention device fails a test, it needs to be repaired or replaced immediately to ensure water safety and maintain compliance with local regulations. Our technicians can often make repairs on the spot during the testing appointment. If replacement is necessary, we'll provide you with options and a timeline for installation.

Backflow testing must be performed by certified backflow prevention assembly testers. All of our technicians are state-certified and regularly undergo continuing education to stay current with the latest regulations and technology. We ensure that all testing is done according to state and local requirements.

A standard backflow test typically takes 30-45 minutes to complete. However, the total time may vary depending on the type and number of devices, their condition, and accessibility. For commercial properties with multiple devices, we can schedule testing to minimize disruption to your business operations.

After completing the backflow test, we provide you with a detailed test report that includes all relevant information required by local authorities. We also submit the necessary documentation to your water provider or regulatory agency on your behalf. You'll receive both digital and physical copies for your records.
