How often should my backflow device be tested?

Most backflow devices require annual testing to remain compliant with local regulations. This ensures the device continues working properly as parts age. Our certified testers can perform your yearly checkup.

What are the signs of a failing backflow device?

Low water pressure, leaks near the device, or contamination issues can indicate a malfunction. However, many problems show no visible signs, which is why routine testing is essential. Testing confirms the device is operating correctly.

Do all homes need a backflow prevention device?

Homes with irrigation systems, wells, or certain plumbing configurations typically require them. Our team can inspect your setup and let you know whether a device is needed. It is always better to confirm than to risk contamination.

How long does backflow testing take?

Most appointments take less than an hour. Our technicians test the valves, record the results, and inform you of any required repairs. It is a quick process that protects your entire home.

What happens if my device fails the test?

If your device does not pass, we explain the issue and recommend repair or replacement. We can correct the problem during the same visit in many cases. Once fixed, we retest to ensure it is functioning properly.

When to Call a Professional for Backflow Service

Backflow problems can be easy to overlook until they lead to costly damage or health concerns.

Signs you need a backflow device service include:

Discolored or foul-smelling water
Sudden changes in water pressure
Leaks or pooling water around the backflow device
Frequent plumbing disruptions
Unexplained moisture near irrigation lines or hose bibs

Instead of trying to diagnose the problem yourself, call our team. For example, if you notice decreased water pressure after a heavy rainstorm—a common issue in low-lying areas—we can inspect your system and suggest the appropriate fix.

With prompt service and professional insight, we can restore your system with minimal disruption.

Steve Kiener and Lindsay Queen were very knowledgeable and friendly. They did a great job as always.

Did a great job! Very prompt. Reese Taylor was very thorough. Only problem was that the techs from Artic Air always try to sell you something. Can't blame them, though, its their job. Overall an excellent outfit.
