Backflow Prevention Testing
Protect Our Water: Backflow Prevention
Water typically flows safely from the public system into your home or business. But when backflow occurs, water can flow backward, carrying harmful contaminants from private plumbing into the public water supply. This can lead to illness, injury, and even death.
Ensure the safety of your water supply with our certified backflow testing services. Tailored for both residential and commercial properties, Todd Waker's Plumbing Repair guarantees thorough testing and efficient solutions to meet regulatory standards.
Why Backflow Prevention Matters
To protect the safety of our drinking water, Ohio counties require backflow prevention devices for any plumbing systems that could pose a hazard. These devices ensure water only flows in the right direction, minimizing health risks and keeping our water clean.
Backflow Testing
Certain plumbing systems need backflow prevention, including:
- Fire sprinkler systems
- Lawn irrigation systems
- Irrigation and deduct meters
- Medical facilities, labs and mortuaries
- Commercial, industrial and manufacturing facilities
- Restaurants
- Hair and nail salons
- Automotive repair shops
- Swimming pools
Testing & Certification
Once installed, backflow prevention devices must be tested every year to ensure they’re working properly. Only certified testers approved by the Ohio Department of Commerce, like Todd Waker’s Plumbing Repair, can perform these tests.
Stay Compliant & Safe
Failure to install or maintain a backflow prevention device may result in water service being disconnected to protect the public water supply. Regular testing is key to ensuring the safety of our water for everyone. Schedule your backflow prevention testing today!
