Know the Warning Signs

Signs Your Backflow Preventer Needs Attention

Backflow devices don't always announce a problem loudly. Here's what's worth checking.

  • It's Been Over a Year Since Testing

    Most municipalities require annual testing. If you're not sure when yours was last done, it's worth checking your records.

  • Visible Leaking or Dripping

    Water leaking from the device itself, especially during operation, often signals a worn seal or component.

  • Visible Corrosion or Damage

    Rust or physical damage to the device can affect its ability to function and is worth a closer look.

  • A Notice From Your City or Water Provider

    A compliance notice about backflow testing means it's time to schedule, before a deadline turns into a fine.

  • A New Irrigation System or Fixture

    New irrigation systems and certain commercial connections typically require a backflow preventer to be added.

Common Questions

Backflow Questions? We've Got Answers

Backflow testing confirms that a device designed to keep contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply is working correctly. Most cities and municipalities require annual testing for properties with a backflow preventer, and failing to test on schedule can result in fines or, in rare cases, water service being shut off.

Backflow preventers are commonly required for irrigation systems, commercial properties, and any property with a connection where contamination could potentially enter the clean water supply. If you're not sure whether your property needs one, we can help you find out.

Once testing is complete, we file the required paperwork with your city or municipality on your behalf. If the device fails testing, we'll walk you through repair options before resubmitting for certification.
