Backflow is when water flows in the reverse direction and can pull contaminants back into the clean water supply. It is the plumbing version of “no thank you,” and backflow prevention devices exist to stop it.

A backflow preventer is a device installed on certain water lines to help prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the potable water supply. It is commonly required in specific residential and commercial situations.

Many properties are required to have backflow devices tested periodically to help ensure they are working properly and to meet applicable requirements. Testing helps confirm the device is functioning as intended.

Testing frequency depends on local requirements and the type of property and device. If you are unsure what applies to your property, call us and we can help you understand next steps.

Backflow prevention is commonly associated with irrigation systems, commercial properties, multi-unit buildings, and certain plumbing setups where cross-connection risk exists. Requirements vary by system and location.
