Services Backflow Testing
Backflow Testing
A backflow prevention device keeps used or contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply. Backflow testing checks that the device is doing its job.
What backflow is
Normally, water flows one way: from the supply into your building. A drop in pressure on the supply side can pull water backward, carrying water from irrigation lines, boilers or other equipment back toward the drinking water. A backflow preventer stops that from happening.
Where you'll find backflow preventers
- Lawn irrigation and sprinkler systems
- Commercial buildings and restaurants
- Fire sprinkler lines
- Boilers and other connected equipment
Why test it
Backflow preventers have moving parts that can wear or stick. Your water provider may require testing when a device is installed and on a schedule after that. Call us to schedule a test.
