What Is Backflow Prevention Testing?
Backflow is when contaminated water flows backward into your clean drinking water supply. Backflow prevention devices protect against this hazard. Annual testing is required by Pennsylvania water authorities and most municipal codes. Our certified testers use calibrated differential pressure gauges to verify your device is functioning properly. We then file the certification directly with your water authority, ensuring you stay compliant and avoiding fines or water shutoffs.
Types of Backflow Devices We Test
Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ)
Highest level of protection for commercial and high-hazard connections. Most common for irrigation systems connected to potable water supplies.
Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA)
Standard protection for low-to-moderate hazard residential systems. Commonly used on fire sprinkler systems and boiler feeds.
Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB)
Simple, reliable protection for irrigation and outdoor connections. Cost-effective solution for landscape systems.
