Backflow prevention systems and annual testing and inspection are required of any property that has:

• a swimming pool
• in-ground irrigation
• fire sprinklers
• a secondary water source, including a private well
• a solar water heating system
• a fountain with a dedicated fill pipe

Backflow systems are also required for properties that are adjacent to rivers, lakes, ponds or any other body of water, and for properties in designated flood zones. Multifamily homes and commercial and industrial properties all require backflow prevention systems to be installed as well. That accounts for a lot of properties in Florida; if you’re not sure if your property needs a backflow prevention system, we can inspect your property, review your needs and make that determination so you don’t run afoul of state law.

Backflow prevention systems use moving parts that are subject to varying degrees of wear and tear. Having an annual inspection isn’t just required under Florida law – it also just makes good sense. Your annual test and inspection can help identify problems with your system while they’re still easily fixable, and before your property is socked with a major violation or fine. To ensure testing and inspection are properly performed, the law also requires inspections to be conducted by a professional plumber who is licensed and registered to perform testing and inspections of backflow prevention systems.

That’s where we come in. Our plumbing experts are skilled in backflow testing and inspections, as well as maintenance, repair and replacement of systems, so you can feel confident your system is working the way it should be. And of course, we’re certified and registered as required by Florida law! If your system needs an inspection or any type of service, give us a call today at 813-991-7960.
