Frequently asked questions
What is backflow and why is it dangerous?
Backflow is when water reverses direction and flows backward through your plumbing, potentially pulling contaminants, fertilizer, or chemicals into your clean water supply. A backflow preventer stops this. When the device fails, your drinking water is at risk, which is why regular testing and prompt repair are so important for protecting your household or customers.
How often does backflow need to be tested?
Many local jurisdictions and water providers require annual backflow testing, especially for irrigation systems and commercial properties. Requirements vary, so it is worth confirming your specific obligation. We can test your device, provide the documentation you need, and remind you when it is due so you stay compliant year to year.
What happens if my backflow preventer fails the test?
If a device fails, it is no longer reliably protecting your water, so it needs repair or replacement. We show you what failed, explain your options, and either rebuild the assembly or install a new one. Then we retest to confirm it passes and provide the paperwork required for your records.
