Backflow Prevention in Anaheim

Backflow Prevention & Testing FAQs

What Is Backflow? 

Backflow can happen due to a wide range of causes including a power outage, a malfunctioning device, or an interruption in your water flow. When it happens, a reversal of water flows through your pipes and contaminates your water supply. 

What Can Backflow Cause? 

Backflow can cause water contamination due to toxins, chemicals, heavy metals, waste, and other hazardous materials. Many of these dangerous particles are not visible to the naked eye, increasing your risk of consuming contaminated water without realizing it. Contaminated water can lead to health issues if you use it for cooking, laundry, or other daily activities. 

What Backflow Prevention Measures Are Recommended in Anaheim?

We recommend backflow prevention devices that match the specific needs and local requirements in Anaheim. Because of the city's landscape, we focus on solutions that address irrigation and outdoor water use. Our plumbers use parts and assemblies that meet or exceed code, giving property owners confidence against contamination risks.

The City of Anaheim requires many commercial and residential properties to have backflow preventers tested and certified every year. This requirement especially affects properties with irrigation systems, pools, and fire sprinklers. Our team works with you to verify your system meets Anaheim’s requirements, helping you avoid service interruptions or potential fines from noncompliance.

What Is Involved in a Backflow Test?

A common type of backflow device uses a flap that moves with your water flow—we check its position as part of the testing process. The flap should block contaminated water from entering your pipe when water flow reverses.

If our Anaheim backflow testing technicians find any water contamination, they will flush your plumbing system until water tests clear. We also clean and reassemble your backflow device for maximum performance and future protection.

During a backflow test, we inspect the pressure levels in your system to verify the preventer device works correctly under Anaheim’s municipal guidelines. We test valves, check connections, and document results for compliance. California and city codes require certified reports for most backflow devices, so we make sure your inspection report is ready if city inspectors ask for documentation. Anaheim’s steady growth leads to closer scrutiny for annual compliance, making regular testing essential for safety and for following city regulations.

Why Is Backflow Testing Required?

Annual backflow testing confirms that your device operates properly and catches needed repairs early. Common repairs include fixing leaks and replacing worn parts like check valves or seals. Our Anaheim backflow technicians recommend repair options and maintenance schedules tailored to your system. 

We use quality workmanship and parts that follow local codes and regulations for installations and repairs. If you need to add a backflow device in Anaheim, we determine what’s right for your property size and setup.
