Backflow Testing & Certification
Backflow is what happens when the water flow in a pipe becomes reversed. This can occur for a variety of reasons and always requires professional testing and certification from a certified plumbing technician. At Diligent, our plumbers are always equipped with the skills, equipment, and hands-on experience to solve your backflow issue with ease.
Do I Need Backflow Testing
Backflow testing is a crucial step to ensure that the water being supplied to your property is safe to drink and use. If the water flow to your residence or building has recently been interrupted due to external influences such as road work, construction, etc., backflow testing will guarantee that your water is free of contaminants which can often find their way into your water supply after construction. Moreover, Municipal codes require annual testing of backflow prevention devices to ensure that they are functioning properly. You can be fined if testing is not completed on time, or the water supply to your property or business might be cut off. That is why we recommend scheduling testing well ahead of time.
How Do Backflow Tests Work?
Backflow testing must be carried out by a Certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester. Diligent will inspect your backflow prevention assembly for proper operation. If the assembly needs to be repaired or replaced, our experts will carry out the service. This testing and certification process must be performed annually to ensure the continued safety of our community’s drinking water supply.
Keeping up to date with yearly backflow testing means you are able to enjoy uninterrupted peace of mind as you go about your daily routine.
