Most cities and counties in the United States require yearly testing of each water district by a certified backflow testing agency.

What happens during a backflow test?
During the annual backflow inspection your backflow is tested to insure its proper working order. This is done by connecting a calibrated gauge to the carious test cocks attached to your backflow assembly in a particular order along with directing the flow of water through the different areas of the backflow and recording the value at which they open.
What happens if may backflow doesn't pass inspection?
If your backflow does not pass inspection the customer will be notified that it did not pass and a report will be sent to the proper water purveyor informing them of the failure. The customer will be informed of why their backflow failed and will be given a proposal to fix the backflow. Once the backflow is repaired another test will be conducted to ensure it is in working order. The new report will be sent to the water purveyor informing them of the repairs have been made and the backflow is now operational.
Do I need to be home during backflow inspection?
No, you do not need to be home to have your backflow tested. We just as that you make sure the backflow is accessible so we can complete testing.
