About Backflow Prevention and Testing

Keep dirty water from ever flowing backward into your clean supply.

Backflow happens when pressure changes push water the wrong way. A backflow preventer is the one-way guard that protects your drinking water from irrigation systems, boilers and other connections.

We install and service these assemblies and handle the testing many properties need on a regular schedule. Requirements vary by utility, and we help you understand what applies.
