Backflow Prevention & Testing

When Backflow Prevention & Testing is the Right Fix

Annual backflow testing required by your water authority
An irrigation system that needs a certified device

A backflow preventer that failed its test
A new device installation for a boiler or irrigation line
Wanting the certification paperwork handled for you

What a backflow preventer actually protects

Backflow preventers keep irrigation water, boiler water, and other non-potable sources from ever making it back into your drinking water — a real risk when pressure drops and water reverses direction. If your property has an irrigation system, a boiler, or certain commercial fixtures, your water authority almost certainly requires a certified device and an annual test. We install, test, repair, and certify those devices for homes and businesses.

We handle the paperwork with your water authority

The part that trips people up isn't the test — it's the filing. After we test or repair your device, we file the certification paperwork with your water authority so you stay compliant without chasing forms or fielding a notice. If a device fails the test, we repair or replace it and re-certify, so you're handed a clean result rather than a to-do list.

We'll remind you next year

Annual testing required for your property? Put us on the calendar and we'll remind you next year so the deadline doesn't sneak up on you. It's the kind of recurring compliance task that's easy to forget until you get a letter — so we track it for you and reach out when it's time.

How Backflow Prevention & Testing Works

1

Locate and inspect the device

We identify your backflow assembly and confirm the type and testing requirement for your property.

2

Test to standard

We run the certified test procedure with calibrated gauges to confirm the device is protecting your water supply.

3

Repair or replace if it fails

A failed device is repaired or replaced on the spot where possible, then re-tested to a passing result.

4

File and remind

We file the certification with your water authority and set a reminder for next year's test.

Backflow Prevention & Testing — Frequently Asked

Why did I get a backflow testing notice?

Water authorities require annual testing on properties with irrigation systems, boilers, or certain commercial connections — anywhere non-potable water could reverse into the drinking supply. The notice means your device is due for its yearly certified test.

Do you file the paperwork, or do I?

We do. After testing or repairing your device we file the certification with your water authority directly, so you don't have to chase forms or worry about missing the compliance window.

What happens if my device fails the test?

We repair or replace it and re-test to a passing result, then certify it. You're handed a compliant device and clean paperwork — not a failure notice and a separate repair to schedule.
