Know the signs
When you need backflow service
If any of these sound familiar, the problem is usually cheaper to fix now than after it spreads.

New irrigation system, boiler, or fire line install
Commercial tenant improvement or occupancy inspection
Device froze over winter and will not hold pressure
How we work
How backflow service works
- 1
Identify the assembly and hazard level
Different applications require different devices. We confirm the assembly type your property and local code require.
- 2
Test and report
We test the assembly, document results, and provide the paperwork your water provider needs on file.
- 3
Repair, rebuild, or replace
Failed devices are rebuilt with manufacturer kits when practical and replaced when the body or seats are past service.
- 4
Freeze and access protection
We insulate or relocate exposed assemblies so they survive Georgia cold snaps and stay accessible for next year's test.
The details
Why testing is required every year
Backflow assemblies are mechanical. Springs weaken, seats collect debris, and check valves stop sealing, usually with no outward sign. Because a failed device can pull fertilizer, boiler chemicals, or standing irrigation water into potable lines, providers require documented annual testing rather than assuming devices still work.
Missing a test can mean fines or a shutoff notice for commercial properties. We handle testing and the paperwork together so the record is filed and you are not chasing a compliance letter.
Freeze damage on exposed assemblies
Georgia winters produce short, hard freezes that split backflow bodies and blow relief valves on above-grade irrigation assemblies. Damage often stays hidden until spring startup, when the device dumps water across a lawn or driveway.
We winterize, insulate, and where needed relocate assemblies, then verify operation at startup so the season begins with a device that holds pressure.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How often does a backflow preventer need testing?+
Annually in most metro Atlanta jurisdictions, and after any repair or replacement of the assembly.
Do homes with sprinklers need a backflow device?+
Yes. Irrigation systems connected to potable water require backflow protection, and many providers require it to be tested on the same annual cycle as commercial devices.
What happens if my device fails the test?+
We show you what failed, quote a rebuild or replacement, and retest after the repair so a passing report goes on file.
Do you serve commercial properties?+
Yes. We test and maintain assemblies for restaurants, retail, medical, and multi-tenant buildings across the metro area.
