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.

Artic air came out for our annual check-up of our AC system. The technician was on time and contacted us several times that morning to update us on his arrival. Eric was so professional and friendly. We felt we were in good hands with him doing his job efficiently and he kept up pleasant conversation with us the entire time. We even learned some things about our system and how it worked.

Peter is a great tech. This is our first visit with Peter. As always any of our experiences with Artic Air has been great and Peter was right up there with the best of them. Thanks Artic Air and thanks Peter.

Updated 10/3/25 Steve Kiener was very knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. He was a pleasure to have in our home and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a maintenance. I'd hire him myself I'd I owned a business. He's also handsome and very careful with keeping your house clean. He cleaned up behind himself the whole time.

Ryan was our tech this time and he is one of our favorites. Great service, professional, timely and wonderful personality. All your techs are great! We don't want to forget Erica. She is always so helpful and kind and treats us like family. Thank you Artic Air for all you do.

10-27-26 Josh was very punctual, professional, and pleasant. He explained what he was going to do and started to systematically check all indoor and outdoor components. Josh is very respectful and takes the necessary time to explain the process. Josh explained that Artic has the ability to enhance the system with surge protectors (Inside & Outside). We are looking into adding those to our system.
Outstanding job!!

Oct 2026 - Maintenance done. Again, great service! I am very happy with this company. They now offer other services that I’ve used and still receive the best customer service. I’ve used their electrical and plumbing services. And when I need septic services I will be using them for that also.

2023 - I hired this company a year ago for my a/c needs. They were professional and did a great job. They came out a year later to check my system. Again, professional and respectful.

Fall 2026 Service for vapor cycle air conditioning service. Reese came to my house once again and provided top-notch service. He was meticulous, knowledgeable, courteous, and professional! He's a highly skilled tradesman who works for a company I trust! See you in the Spring, Sir! (side note: What appears to be a high cost was for scheduled component replacement and a capacitor. No worries!)
