Understanding Our Certified Backflow Testing Process

A certified backflow inspection is more than a simple check; it's a detailed diagnostic process to confirm your system is providing absolute protection. When you schedule a service with us, we follow a precise and transparent procedure. Our goal is to make the process straightforward for you while ensuring total accuracy and compliance with Roswell’s regulations.

First, we will notify you before temporarily shutting off the water to the device. Our certified technician then connects specialized testing equipment to the backflow preventer's test ports. We measure the pressure within the system to ensure the internal check valves are sealing correctly and that the relief valves open as they should, preventing any chance of back-siphonage or back-pressure.

Once the test is complete, we restore your water service and provide you with a detailed report of the findings. If the device passes, we submit the certification directly to the local water authorities. If it fails, we will clearly explain the problem, outline the best options for repair or replacement, and provide a clear, upfront quote before any additional work begins.

What is Backflow and Why Does It Matter for Your Roswell Property?

You might not think about it often, but the water flowing into your home or business is part of a pressurized system designed to move in one direction. Backflow occurs when that water reverses its course, creating a pathway for contaminants to enter the clean water supply. This can happen due to a sudden drop in pressure in the city’s main line or increased pressure from your own property, such as from a boiler or irrigation system.

The danger lies in what gets pulled back into the potable water. Contaminants like fertilizers, pesticides, chlorine from pools, and other harmful chemicals or bacteria can create a serious health hazard. For local businesses, a backflow incident can lead to shutdowns and liability issues. For homeowners, it compromises the safety of your family. That's why effective backflow prevention in Roswell is not just a regulatory requirement; it’s a critical component of public health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who regulates backflow testing & prevention locally?

Backflow testing and prevention in our area are regulated by a multi-layered system of public health authorities to ensure consistent safety. The standards are initially set at the federal level by the Safe Drinking Water Act and then adapted by the State of Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD). Locally, the City of Roswell and Fulton County enact and enforce specific codes for backflow inspection, installation, and testing frequency. The local water purveyor is the entity that ultimately manages compliance, requiring property owners to submit official test reports from a certified professional to verify that all devices are functioning correctly and the community's water supply remains secure.

What happens if my backflow prevention device fails inspection in Roswell?

If your backflow prevention device fails its annual inspection, it means it is no longer providing reliable protection, and your property will be listed as non-compliant with local Roswell water regulations until you resolve the problem. This status must be resolved promptly to avoid potential fines or, in serious cases, interruption of your water service. A failed test is often due to common issues like worn-out seals, stuck valves, or internal debris. As your certified backflow plumber, we will immediately diagnose the specific cause of the failure, provide you with a clear explanation of the problem, and present straightforward options for either repairing the existing device or replacing it if necessary. Once the work is complete, we perform a retest and submit the passing results to bring your property back into full compliance.

Can I perform my own backflow testing?

No, performing your own backflow testing is not permitted, as it fails to meet the legal requirements for a valid backflow inspection in Roswell. This work must be conducted by a licensed and certified backflow assembly tester for two critical reasons. First, the process requires highly specialized and precisely calibrated equipment that the average property owner does not possess. Second, technicians must complete extensive training and hold a state-recognized certification, which proves they can perform the test according to exact protocols and accurately interpret the results. This ensures the integrity of the entire safety program, and only a certified professional is authorized to sign and submit the official compliance documentation to the water authorities.
