Why Backflow Prevention & Testing Matters

Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction—bringing contaminated water back into your clean supply. This can be caused by changes in water pressure, faulty devices, or broken valves. Regular testing ensures your backflow prevention system is functioning properly and protecting your water from harmful pollutants.

Routine backflow testing helps:

  • Protect your drinking water from contamination
  • Comply with municipal and state regulations
  • Detect valve failures before they create health hazards
  • Safeguard against cross-connection risks
  • Maintain a healthy plumbing infrastructure

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection requires annual backflow testing in many areas—especially for commercial properties and irrigation systems.

Signs Your Backflow System May Need Testing or Repair

If your system isn’t operating as intended, subtle symptoms may appear. Here are some signs to watch for:

  • Discolored or foul-smelling water
  • Unusual taste from faucets or taps
  • Visible debris or sediment in water lines
  • Fluctuating water pressure
  • Leaks or drips near the backflow prevention assembly
  • Unexplained increases in water usage

If you’re seeing these issues, your backflow prevention device may not be doing its job, leaving your home or building vulnerable to contamination.

You Have Questions, We Have Answers

Yes. Many counties and cities require annual testing of all backflow prevention devices—especially in commercial properties, irrigation systems, or homes with well water.

Most modern systems have them installed near the water meter or irrigation system. We can help identify whether your property is protected.

We’ll recommend repairs or replacements based on the issue. All work will be brought up to code and retested for compliance.

Only licensed and certified professionals are allowed to test and certify backflow devices. DIY repairs may void your compliance or lead to safety violations.
