Backflow Prevention Assembly Testing

Backflow testing is mandated by the state to protect the drinking water supply. In short, none of us want to drink the water after it is used by commercial companies, industrial users, or whatever our neighbors are doing with the water in their house. These devices help to prevent backflow, but are periodically required to be tested. Most commonly it is required annually. We are licensed and equipped to carry this testing and reporting out for you.
