Splash Plumbing encourages homeowners to schedule annual backflow testing in Mission Viejo, CA. In many cases, it’s required by law, though even when it’s not, it protects you. A malfunctioning backflow prevention device may allow wastewater to contaminate your drinking water. Our plumbers maintain and repair backflow devices. We’re also able to install new devices either as a first-time upgrade or as a replacement.
Backflow Testing in Mission Viejo
Splash Plumbing recommends scheduling backflow testing in Mission Viejo at least once a year. Scheduling a regular inspection for your backflow prevention device is a legal requirement for most commercial locations. Failure to test your system on time can result in a fine.
California generally excludes homeowners from the backflow prevention device requirement. That means that the government usually doesn’t hold them to the backflow testing requirement either. Despite that, plumbers recommend a backflow preventer for residential purposes when there is any chance of cross-contamination. This is uncommon with single-family homes but common with multi-family residences.
During an annual service appointment, our experienced plumbers will inspect, clean and test the device. This is not a service that a layperson should perform as a do-it-yourself job. You can cause the very cross-contamination you’re trying to avoid. In some cases, our plumbers will notice a failing part and replace it. If you’ve scheduled the testing due to a legal requirement, you’ll need proof from the plumber. This will include a certificate and perhaps other documentation.
