Backflow Testing

Backflow testing is an important procedure used to confirm that water flows in the proper direction and to stop potentially contaminated water from entering the public water system. It involves checking and testing backflow prevention devices—like valves and assemblies—to ensure they’re working correctly. This helps protect water quality and reduce the risk of contamination. In many areas, commercial properties are required to undergo regular backflow testing, and in some cases, residential properties must as well, especially if they have specific types of plumbing connections. If a device fails the test, it must be repaired or replaced and tested again to verify the system is secure.
