A backflow prevention assembly protects the public water supply from water that has been in contact with irrigation systems, boilers, fire lines or commercial equipment. Many cities and water utilities require these devices to be tested on a set schedule, often yearly, by a qualified tester. We test the assembly, record the readings, and repair or rebuild it when a check valve or relief valve does not pass. When a device needs to be replaced or added, we install the correct type for the hazard and the line size. Test results are submitted to the water authority when your city requires it.

Backflow testing and repair: common questions
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Many cities require yearly testing, especially for irrigation and commercial systems. Your water utility's notice will list the deadline.
Why is my backflow preventer dripping?
A dripping relief valve often means a check valve is fouled or worn. It should be tested and repaired.
