Backflow Testing in Clarksburg, WV

Professional Backflow Testing Services

The legal requirements for backflow prevention systems vary from one local jurisdiction to the next. That said, commercial properties that need prevention usually require annual or biannual certification.

For residential zones, there are usually only legal requirements for multi-family properties. That’s due to a higher potential for cross-connection plumbing issues. Some jurisdictions require them if you add sprinkler systems and other upgrades. Some property owners may choose to add a backflow preventer voluntarily. In that case, regular inspections are not a legal requirement, but most experts highly recommend them. Backflow into your home is a serious safety and hygiene issue.

Can any plumber perform backflow testing? West Virginia requires plumbers to get and maintain state licensing. It also requires additional certifications for certain jobs. That includes the inspection, testing, and servicing of backflow preventers required by law. It’s also a good idea for homeowners to choose a certified plumber for optional backflow preventer services.

If your local law requires testing, you must complete it each year by a certain date. You must also file the necessary paperwork along with the documentation from your plumber. Our plumbing company will do this work for you.

If opting for testing voluntarily, schedule in the spring. Water usage is higher during the summer for most households. You should also schedule whenever you notice changes to water pressure, smell, color, or taste.

An annual backflow inspection is important for many reasons.

• Fewer plumbing repairs
• Avoid environmental hazards
• Safeguard your drinking water
• Lower plumbing maintenance costs
