What Is Backflow?

Why backflow prevention matters

Backflow is when water reverses direction in your plumbing and flows backward into the clean water supply — potentially pulling in contaminants from irrigation systems, boilers, or chemicals. A backflow preventer is the device that stops that from happening.

Because it protects drinking water, that device has to actually work. That's why testing matters:

  • Protects your family's and customers' drinking water
  • Required annually for many properties by local code
  • Keeps you compliant and avoids potential penalties
  • Catches a failing device before it becomes a health risk

Backflow FAQ

Common questions, answered

How often does a backflow preventer need testing?

Most jurisdictions require annual testing. If you've received a notice from your water provider, it will usually list a deadline — call us and we'll take care of it before then.

How long does a backflow test take?

A standard test is typically quick — often well under an hour for a single device. We'll let you know what to expect when you schedule.

What happens if my device fails?

We'll explain the issue and can usually repair or rebuild the assembly, then retest to confirm it passes and file the updated certification.

Do I really need a backflow preventer?

If you have an irrigation system, certain commercial equipment, or a connection your water provider flags as a cross-connection risk, yes. We can assess your property and advise.
