What Is Backflow Testing?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction within your plumbing system, potentially allowing contaminated water (such as from irrigation, industrial equipment, or sewer lines) to enter the clean water supply. This can pose serious health risks.
A backflow preventer is a device installed on your plumbing system to stop this reverse flow. Over time, this device can wear out or fail—requiring regular testing to ensure it’s functioning properly.
Backflow testing is a process where a licensed technician uses specialized equipment to evaluate the performance of your backflow prevention device. It is often required annually for commercial and some residential properties under city and county ordinances in South Florida.
Why Is Backflow Testing Important?
- Protects your drinking water from contamination
- Meets city and county code requirements
- Prevents liability for businesses and property managers
- Ensures public health and safety
Municipalities in South Florida, including Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, require annual backflow testing for commercial buildings, apartment complexes, restaurants, medical offices, and certain homes with irrigation or pool systems.
