FAQs
What is the Purpose Of the Backflow Prevention Assembly?
Backflow prevention assemblies are installed (typically at the water meter) to protect the drinking water supply against any pollutants and/or containments from a cross-connection within the water system. A cross-connection is any arrangement (temporary or permanent) whereby a public water supply is connected, directly or indirectly, to any other water supply system that may contain pollutants and/or containments. Typical hazards common to cross-connections include an in-ground irrigation system, a garden hose, a secondary source of water such as reclaimed water or a well, a swimming pool, or a body of water such as a lake or pond. If there is a change in water pressure from the main supply system, due to a line break or a loss in pressure, the direction of flow can change causing the backflow of potentially unsafe drinking water into the public drinking water supply system
Do I Need to be Present for the Backflow Prevention Assembly Test?
You do not need to be present during the backflow test. We only ask that our technician has clear access to the backflow preventer and that any vegetation is trimmed back. The test does require the water to be turned off, so if you are home during the test, you may experience a short period without water. Of course, you are always welcome to come out to observe the test and/or ask any questions you might have about backflow prevention and testing process.
After my test, who handles the paperwork with the city or county?
Yes! We want your experience with Accurate Backflow Testing easy and hassle free. Our qualified technicians will ensure you're backflow is working properly and file with the correct city or county system to keep you in 100% compliance.
Why did the city charge me a fee even after you tested my backflow?
Your backflow test has to be completed and filed within your alloted time given by the city or county. When Scheduling our team will make sure that we have enough time to both test and file within the alloted time to avoid any extra fees. If however, there is an error (that is our fault), we will make it right.
