What is backflow?
Backflow happens when water flows the wrong way in your plumbing system, potentially allowing dirty water to mix with your drinking water.
Why is backflow testing needed?
Your backflow device is composed of several external and internal parts which break down over time and will be in need of repair or replacement.
Why do I need a backflow prevention device?
A backflow prevention device keeps contaminated water from flowing back into your clean water supply, protecting your home and the community.
Do I need to get my backflow device tested?
Yes, most local water providers require annual testing to ensure your device is working properly and keeping the water supply safe. Failing to do so could lead to fines and even possible water shut-off by your water provider.
How often does my backflow device need to be tested?
Once a year. Your water provider will require proof of testing for compliance.
What happens during a backflow test?
A licensed, certified technician inspects and tests your backflow device to make sure it is working correctly. If it fails, repairs may be needed to bring it up to code.
How long does a backflow test take?
A typical test takes about 20-30 minutes.
How much does backflow testing cost?
Pricing varies, depending on the number of devices needed to be tested, size, and location of devices, but we offer free estimates!
