Many Tampa-area properties with irrigation systems, pools, or certain plumbing configurations are required to have a working backflow preventer, and most municipalities require annual testing to confirm it's functioning correctly. We install properly sized devices and provide the documentation you need after every test.

If your existing backflow assembly is failing a test, leaking, or due for its annual certification, our technicians can typically diagnose, repair, or recertify it in a single visit.

Questions

Backflow Preventer Installation & Testing FAQ

How often does a backflow preventer need to be tested?

Most jurisdictions require annual testing — we can set up a yearly reminder so you never miss a deadline.

What happens if my backflow preventer fails testing?

We diagnose the failure on the spot and, in most cases, can repair or rebuild the assembly the same day.

Do I need a backflow preventer for a residential irrigation system?

In most cases, yes — irrigation systems are a common backflow risk point and typically required to have an approved device.
