How often do I need to check my backflow prevention system?

Your backflow prevention system must be inspected once a year. This is to ensure that it is working correctly and is required by the city regulations. Our team will inspect the backflow system and handle the paperwork for you as well. This is especially important if you own a business or have rental properties.

What is backflow and what are the causes of backflow?

Backflow is when water runs the wrong way. It can be caused by low water pressure, temperature change, or a faulty backflow valve. The city produces clean water that is safe to use. Once that water is used, it becomes dirty. We do not want that water to reenter the water supply.
