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 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.
How long a backflow preventer lasts depends. Commercial-grade preventers can last between 35 and 40 years. The typical preventers used for homes and small businesses last between five and 10 years. Owners should expect minor necessary repairs here and there. If you’re beyond the five-year mark, a plumber may recommend replacement. It will be less expensive over the long term. You’ll also be at far less risk of contamination to your drinking water.
