A deep dive on the backflow prevention inspection


Did you know a single malfunctioning backflow device can compromise an entire water supply? Failure to test poses severe health risks and impacts entire communities. Regular maintenance and inspections of backflow prevention devices are vital to safeguarding public health and ensuring compliance with local laws.

Read on to learn more about backflow compliance inspections and how they can protect you and your community. 

Why Backflow Compliance Matters

Backflow prevention is more than just a legal requirement—it's a public safety necessity. Properly functioning devices protect against waterborne illnesses and contamination. Failure to comply with backflow prevention system regulations can lead to water supply contamination and an increased risk of waterborne illnesses. 

Beyond safety, non-compliance can result in hefty fines and expensive repairs.


What Happens During a Backflow Inspection?

Before a backflow inspection, you should check for visible issues, review previous records, and ensure the device is accessible.


During onsite testing, your certified professional will inspect the device for any damage, test the water pressure, verify valve operation, and use a testing device to make sure the device is functioning correctly. Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed report, and if your backflow prevention device is in good condition, a certification proving your compliance. Otherwise, your inspector will provide you with notes on repairs to make moving forward. 




After the Inspection: What’s Next?


Directly after your inspection, you should read through the notes, understand your compliance status, and create a plan of action for moving forward. If your system requires repairs or upgrades, you should work with a professional to promptly address these issues. It helps to devise a long-term plan for inspections and maintenance, considering when to schedule your next inspection and how to stay informed on regulatory changes.


When it comes to backflow prevention, proactive maintenance isn’t just a requirement—it’s a commitment to your community’s health and safety.
