Why it matters
Backflow preventers stop contaminated water from a fire suppression system (or any non-potable source) from being siphoned back into the drinking water supply. Most Ohio water utilities require annual testing of backflow assemblies as a condition of water service, and a failed or untested assembly can put your water service at risk.
How often
Annually, or as required by your local water utility -- we track your due date and can file results directly with the utility on your behalf.
Common questions
Who requires backflow testing -- the fire department or the water company?
Typically your local water utility, since the concern is protecting the public drinking water supply. Many jurisdictions also tie it to fire code compliance if the assembly protects a fire suppression system.
Do you submit the test results for us?
Yes -- once testing is complete, we can file the results directly with your water utility so you don't have to track down the paperwork yourself.
What happens if an assembly fails testing?
We document the failure, provide an estimate for repair or replacement, and can usually turn around a retest quickly once the work is approved -- water utilities generally give a short window to fix a failed assembly.
