In South Carolina, public water systems require an annual inspection of the backflow prevention assembly and the inspection results be submitted to the water authority of record for the specific location. Contact us today for an inspection of your backflow.
We are backflow repair experts. If one fails, we can repair the device 90% of the time. Other contractors will often quote a replacement. That costs you more money and may not be necessary. Call us to evaluate and we’ll do everything we can to save you money.
We install all sizes of backflow prevention assemblies. From ½” to over 10” we will come up with a scope of work and plan of action to bring your property into compliance.
Below you will find the answers to most frequently asked questions.
Backflow is the undesirable reversal of flow of water or other substances through a cross-connection and into the piping of a public water system or consumer’s water system. There are two types of backflow, backpressure and backsiphonage.
Mechanical backflow preventers have internal seals, springs, and moving parts that are subject to fouling, wear, or fatigue. Also, mechanical backflow preventers and air gaps can be bypassed.
Therefore, all backflow preventers have to be tested periodically to ensure that they are functioning properly. A visual check of air gaps is sufficient, but mechanical backflow preventers have to be tested with properly calibrated gauge equipment.
The state of South Carolina requires all backflows to be tested annually by a state certified tester. Contact us today to schedule your test.
