What a backflow preventer does

Sprinkler lines sit in soil that can contain fertilizer, pesticides, and bacteria. If water pressure drops, that water can be pulled back into the drinking water supply. A working backflow preventer stops it.

Why it needs testing

Backflow preventers have internal valves and seals that wear out over time, and you can't tell from the outside if one has failed. Water providers in Washington generally require testable backflow assemblies on irrigation systems to be tested every year, so check the notice from your water provider for your due date.

What's included

  • Test of your backflow assembly
  • Check for leaks and damage
  • Test results for your records and your water provider

Bundle it with a start-up

Spring is a good time to test, so many customers book it along with their spring start-up.
