What Is Backflow?
Backflow is when water flows in the opposite direction from what it is supposed to. Imagine your plumbing system as a one-way street for water, where clean water comes in and wastewater goes out. Backflow happens when something causes the water to reverse direction, potentially bringing contaminants like chemicals or bacteria into the clean water supply. Most often, this occurs because of pressure changes, like when there is a water main break.
Backflow Prevention Device Installation
A backflow prevention device is often crucial for Florida homes and businesses. Our state is prone to heavy rains and strong storms, both of which can strain the water supply and increase the chances of backflow. Fortunately, these devices are designed to prevent contaminated water from entering your potable water supply.
We offer professional installation services for a variety of backflow prevention devices, including but not limited to:
- Pressure vacuum breakers
- Reduced pressure zone assemblies
- Double-check valve assemblies

When Should You Install a Backflow Prevention Device?
Consider installing a backflow prevention device if you have any of the following:
- An in-ground irrigation system

- A swimming pool or spa
- A commercial property with potential sources of contamination
- A body of water on or near your property
Beyond the above, you ought to equip your property with a backflow preventer if your building is in a designated flood zone. Are you unsure whether you need protection from backflow, and if so, what device is the right one? Contact us! As a locally operated company, we know exactly what it takes to keep residential and commercial properties in our area safe from backflow risks.
Local Backflow Testing & Certification
In addition to installing backflow prevention devices, our skilled technicians provide testing and certification services. Regular testing is essential to ensure your device works correctly and protects your water supply. Sarasota County requires testing every two years, and Manatee County requires it annually.
Our team can inspect and test all components of your backflow prevention device, including valves, air gaps, and pressure sensors. Should we find issues, we can take measures to bring your device up to code. Upon completion, we will provide a certification of compliance.
