What Is Backflow Testing?

Backflow testing checks the backflow preventer on your home to confirm that it won’t allow contaminated water to flow into your home’s clean water supply. Backflow occurs when decreased pressure within your pipes disrupts the normal water flow into and out of your home. When the pressure decreases, contaminated water from toilets, hoses, etc., can flow through the clean water supply pipes instead of the wastewater pipes. Backflow preventers stop this from occurring and are vital for preserving the quality of the water in your home.

How Do I Know if I Need Backflow Testing?

In addition to the standard two-year testing requirement, you may need to perform an additional test if there are problems with your water. Signs you need backflow testing include:

Discolored water (brown, yellow, or even pinkish water)
Sulfur smell emanating through drains, sinks, etc.
Slow or interrupted water supply
Odd-tasting water
Slow drains or inconsistent drainage in different drains, showers, or sinks

How Is Backflow Testing Done?

We often start by temporarily disconnecting you from the water utility. Once disconnected, we will open and close the valves on the backflow preventer. During this process, we’ll monitor and note any pressure changes and confirm that the backflow preventer operates efficiently and effectively. At the end of the test, we will restore your water service and provide you with a comprehensive report that details the condition of your backflow prevention system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to perform a backflow test?

It’s pretty fast, and in most cases, it takes less than 30 minutes to complete. However, the process can take longer if the plumber needs to perform any repairs.

Can a damaged backflow preventer be repaired?

Yes and no. It depends on the quality of the components and the extent of the required repairs. If the valve is brittle, there is advanced wear on the components or an older assembly with difficult-to-locate parts. We generally recommend replacing it rather than repairing a malfunctioning backflow preventer.

How often should backflow preventers be inspected?

We recommend scheduling a quick annual inspection and cleanout. This will help keep your backflow preventer in exceptional repair.
