Reliable Backflow Testing

Our certified technicians perform these inspections efficiently and accurately. We document all results and submit them to the appropriate authorities, ensuring your property remains fully compliant with local regulations.

We provide clear explanations of your test results, so you know exactly what condition your system is in. If a device fails inspection, we present practical options for repair or replacement, including cost considerations, allowing you to make informed decisions.

Scheduling backflow testing with Life Line Plumbing is simple and convenient for both homeowners and business operators.
Our typical process includes:
- Schedule and arrival. We confirm the time that works for you and arrive promptly with all the necessary equipment.

Backflow Prevention Installation & Replacement
If your property lacks a device or your current one is failing, our team provides expert installation and replacement. We assess your plumbing to recommend the right device for your specific needs, ensuring full compliance.
We install, repair, and test all types of backflow assemblies, including:
- Irrigation and sprinkler systems. Essential for preventing contaminated ground-water, fertilizers, and pesticides from siphoning back into your clean water supply.
- Fire suppression systems. Keeps non-potable water in your fire system separate from your potable water, maintaining safety and compliance.
- Commercial and residential water mains. Provides primary protection for your entire property, whether a home or large commercial building, ensuring the supply remains secure.
Understanding Backflow & Its Importance
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction, allowing contaminated or used water to enter the clean water supply. Pressure changes in the system, such as main line breaks, high water demand, or back siphonage, can trigger backflow.
Backflow prevention devices protect residential and commercial properties from potential contaminants, including fertilizers, cleaning chemicals, and other harmful substances. Regular testing helps keep these devices functional and compliant with state and municipal regulations.
Why Backflow Testing Should Be Part of Regular Maintenance
Backflow devices are often overlooked until problems arise. Consistent testing and maintenance prevent contamination risks, costly repairs, and compliance issues.
Regular testing provides:
- Health protection. Keeps contaminants out of drinking water
- Regulatory compliance. Ensures adherence to city and county codes
- Early detection. Identifies worn or damaged components before failure
- Confidence. Confirms that systems function as intended year-round
