What is Backflow?
Backflow happens when the normal flow of water is reversed from its intended direction in any pipeline or plumbing system. The danger of backflow comes with the potential for cross-contamination: when water that has contacted chemicals or hazardous compounds flows back into the drinking water system. A backflow prevention device is required to prevent this occurrence. Its sole job is to prevent drinking water from being contaminated due to backflow.
Importance of a Licensed Backflow Professional
Did you know in Ohio, you must have a backflow certification from the Ohio Department of Commerce to perform backflow testing. This requires completing a course from an approved training agency, passing a hands-on and written exam, and having at least five years of plumbing or water industry experience (or equivalent, at the board’s discretion).
As a certified backflow tester with our business, founded in 1989, and backed by decades of experience, I can tell you backflow testing is all we do. Our expertise is critical because we ensure contaminated water from irrigation, pools, or other systems doesn’t flow back into your clean drinking water supply. This prevents health risks from pollutants and keeps you compliant with Ohio regulations, avoiding fines or water shutoffs. We provide inspection, repairs, or installation of your backflow prevention device. We comply with your water department’s backflow prevention program requirements. Annual testing by one of our licensed technicians will ensure your water is safe and your property is legal.
We promise to deliver fast, professional service for over 35 years now. Please fill out our contact form for our fastest response to your needs.
