Annual Backflow Prevention Device Testing

It’s advisable to test your backflow prevention device annually. Regular testing helps prevent emergencies and water contamination. Our plumbers can accommodate your schedule to perform the testing at your convenience.
We use the same high-standard equipment as city inspectors. During testing, we attach a test kit to the device to collect a water sample, which is then analyzed to ensure no backflow is present. If any issues are detected, we’ll advise on the necessary repairs to meet compliance standards.

Repairing Backflow Prevention Devices

Backflow prevention devices activate when there’s a sudden change in water pressure, preventing sewage from backing up into your home. If your drains start flowing backwards, it indicates a malfunction in the device.
Our experienced plumbers can quickly and safely repair your backflow prevention system. Our three-step repair process includes:

1. Investigating the backflow preventer to identify the problem.
2. Providing you with a detailed repair cost before starting any work.
3. Procuring the necessary parts and performing the repair, ensuring your system remains code compliant.
