What We Offer
Annual Backflow Testing
Illinois law requires annual testing of backflow prevention devices to ensure they’re functioning correctly. Our certified backflow testers use calibrated equipment to perform comprehensive tests on reduced pressure zone (RPZ) valves, double check valve assemblies, and pressure vacuum breakers. We complete all required documentation and submit test reports directly to the appropriate municipal authorities, ensuring full compliance with local regulations.

Our team evaluates your specific application to determine the appropriate type of device, ensures proper sizing and placement, and handles all permit requirements for seamless installation.
Repair and Maintenance Services
When backflow devices fail testing or show signs of wear, prompt repair is essential to maintain water safety and regulatory compliance. We service all major brands of backflow prevention devices, replacing worn components like check valves, relief valves, and test cocks. Our maintenance services also include cleaning, adjustment, and preventive care to extend device lifespan and reduce the likelihood of failures.

The Importance of Backflow Prevention
Backflow occurs when water flows backward in your plumbing system, potentially allowing contaminated water to enter the clean water supply. This can happen due to back-pressure from elevated tanks or pumps, or back-siphonage from negative pressure in the main water line. Common sources of potential contamination include irrigation systems, boilers, fire sprinkler systems, and industrial processes.
Properly functioning backflow prevention devices create physical barriers that prevent contaminated water from mixing with your potable water supply. These devices must be tested annually to ensure they maintain proper differential pressures and seal effectively against reverse flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does my backflow device need to be tested?
Illinois requires annual testing of most backflow prevention devices. Some high-hazard applications may require more frequent testing. We’ll help you determine the appropriate testing schedule based on your specific device type and application, and can set up automatic reminders to ensure you never miss required testing dates.
What happens if my backflow device fails the test?
If your device fails testing, it must be repaired or replaced before it can pass. We’ll provide a detailed explanation of the failure and an estimate for necessary repairs. Most failures involve worn internal components that can be replaced during the same visit. We’ll retest the device after repairs to ensure compliance before submitting reports to authorities.
Do I need a backflow device for my irrigation system?
Most municipalities require backflow prevention devices for irrigation systems because they present a potential contamination risk. The specific type of device required depends on factors like your water source, the presence of chemical injection systems, and local regulations. We’ll evaluate your irrigation setup and recommend the appropriate backflow prevention solution.
Can you handle backflow testing for commercial properties?
Yes, we provide backflow testing and prevention services for commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. We understand the unique requirements of different facility types and can coordinate testing schedules to minimize disruption to your operations.
