Backflow Testing & Certification Services in Florida

Backflow occurs when water flows in the reverse direction, potentially allowing contaminants to enter the clean water supply. This can happen due to changes in pressure within the plumbing system. To prevent this, backflow prevention devices are installed and must be regularly tested to ensure they function correctly.

Annual testing of backflow prevention devices is mandated by local regulations. Regular testing ensures that these devices effectively prevent contaminants from entering the potable water system.

What is backflow and why is testing required?

Backflow is the reverse flow of contaminated water into your clean water supply, and testing is required by Florida law to prevent health hazards from chemicals, fertilizers, or sewage entering drinking water.
 

How often should backflow testing be performed in Florida?

In Florida, most commercial properties and irrigation systems require annual backflow testing, though some municipalities mandate testing every 6 months for high-hazard systems.
 

Who is required to have backflow certification?

Property owners with irrigation systems, fire sprinkler lines, commercial kitchens, or any cross-connection to a non-potable water source are required to maintain current backflow certification.
 

What happens during a backflow test and inspection?

A certified technician attaches test gauges to your backflow preventer, measures pressure differentials and valve function, then provides a written report to submit to your local water authority.
