Protect Your Water Supply with DC Plumbing of South Florida
Keep Contaminants Out and Clean Water In
Backflow is a serious plumbing issue that can allow contaminated water to flow back into your clean water supply, putting your household’s health and safety at risk. Whether you’re required to install a backflow prevention device or need help servicing an existing one, DC Plumbing of South Florida provides expert backflow installation, testing, repair, and replacement services.
We help homeowners, commercial property managers, and HOAs stay compliant with local regulations while ensuring water systems remain safe and reliable.
What Is Backflow and Why Is It a Problem?
Backflow occurs when a reversal in water pressure causes wastewater, chemicals, or contaminants to flow backward into the clean water lines. It can happen due to:
- A sudden drop in municipal water pressure
- Broken water mains
- Irrigation system failures
- Cross-connections between potable and non-potable water sources
To prevent this, plumbing codes require backflow prevention assemblies—especially for properties with irrigation systems, commercial plumbing, or fire suppression setups. These devices ensure water flows only in one direction and prevent contamination of the public water supply.
Backflow Installation Services
DC Plumbing installs a wide range of backflow prevention devices, including:
- Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVBs)
- Double Check Valve Assemblies (DCVAs)
- Reduced Pressure Zone Devices (RPZs)
- Anti-siphon valves for irrigation
- Commercial and residential solutions
We assess your plumbing configuration, determine the right device type, and install it to meet both function and code requirements. Our team handles all required permitting and coordinates inspections with local water authorities.

Annual backflow testing is required by many municipalities to ensure your device is functioning properly. Our certified backflow testers perform:
- Annual inspections and pressure testing
- Digital reports for your water utility
- Quick repairs if the device fails
