Following a change in pressure, caused by events like a fire hydrant usage or pipe bursting, backflow occurs when water flows backward into the main water supply line. This can unfortunately cause contamination in the main water supply from human waste, pesticides, or other chemicals. Backflow prevention devices make sure this never happens by only allowing water to flow in one direction.
We install, test, and maintain backflow prevention devices placed on both commercial and residential water supply lines to ensure there is no cross contamination.
We perform backflow testing to ensure that:
To save you time, we will submit all necessary paperwork after completion and email you a copy of the sent report, so you don't have to!
A backflow test requires temporarily shutting off the water and involves opening and closing the valves to identify any irregularities. The entire process typically takes thirty minutes to complete if there are no pre-existing issues with your device. After completing the testing of your backflow device, we will fill out a report and submit it to the city.
If there are any issues with your backflow device, we'll take the time to fully explain the problem and discuss any repairs that may be needed to ensure that your drinking water is protected.

Installing a backflow prevention device requires access to the sewer line, as well as advanced training. If the backflow preventer is improperly installed, the device could not only fail to protect against backflow, but it could also obstruct the proper flow of water. If you want to properly protect your home against backflow, you should trust our team to handle your device installation for you.
Backflow prevention devices also need to be tested annually. Waste can accumulate on the valve over time, and can cause it to become fixed in the open or closed position. Annual maintenance ensures that the device is working properly and is free of any obstructions.
