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.
Spring is a good time to test, so many customers book it along with their spring start-up.
Usually once a year. Your water provider will tell you when your test is due.
Backflow testing is $75.
We'll explain what failed and give you an estimate to repair or replace it.
