Backflow testing checks a backflow prevention assembly to verify that its internal components are operating properly and providing the required protection against unwanted reverse flow.
How often does a backflow preventer need to be tested?
Testing frequency depends on the type of assembly, property, water system, and requirements of the applicable water authority or local jurisdiction. Many backflow assemblies require annual testing.
What happens if my backflow device fails the test?
A failed test does not automatically mean the entire device needs to be replaced. We can inspect the assembly, determine what caused the failure, and recommend repair, rebuilding, or replacement based on its condition and application.
Can you rebuild a failed backflow preventer?
Yes. Many backflow assemblies can be rebuilt when the device is repairable and appropriate replacement parts are available. After repairs, the assembly can be retested when required.
Do you replace backflow preventers?
Yes. We replace backflow assemblies that are damaged, obsolete, beyond repair, or otherwise require replacement. We can also assist with testing and applicable documentation after installation.
Do you test irrigation backflow preventers?
Yes. We provide testing and repair services for applicable irrigation backflow prevention assemblies.
Do you service commercial backflow devices?
Yes. We provide backflow testing, repair, rebuilding, replacement, and installation for commercial properties, businesses, property managers, and other facilities.
Can you handle backflow paperwork?
When applicable, we can assist with test reports, documentation, permitting, and other paperwork associated with backflow testing or replacement. Requirements vary by local water authority and jurisdiction.
