Irrigation System BACKFLOW TESTING in Independence, MO

Backflow testing is the process of ensuring that your irrigation system’s backflow prevention device is functioning properly. A backflow preventer is a critical component that prevents water from flowing backward into the public water supply, which could contaminate the clean water system. Testing ensures that the device is properly installed, functioning, and preventing contaminants from entering your water supply.

In Independence, MO and surrounding areas, local regulations require annual backflow testing to maintain the safety of the public water system. At Sam's Turf Care, we provide professional backflow device testing to ensure compliance and the safety of your water.

Backflow testing is typically required annually. Local municipalities, including Independence, MO and surrounding areas, often require property owners to have their backflow prevention devices tested each year to ensure that they meet safety standards. Failing to schedule regular backflow testing could result in fines or potential issues with your water supply.

By scheduling annual backflow testing with our sister company Royal Lawn Service, we’ll ensure your system is compliant with local codes and that your water supply remains safe from contamination.

During backflow testing, our trained technicians will perform the following steps:

• Inspection of the backflow prevention device: We begin by visually inspecting the device to check for any obvious signs of damage or wear.

• Pressure testing: We use a specialized testing kit to check the pressure on both the supply side and the downstream side of the device to ensure that water is flowing in the correct direction and that no contaminants are being allowed into the clean water system.

• Device testing and certification: If the device passes the test, we will provide you with a backflow certification. If it fails, we will recommend repairs or replacement of the device to bring it into compliance.

• Reporting: We provide a comprehensive report of the test results, including any necessary follow-up actions.

If your backflow device fails the test, the cost for repairs or a replacement will depend on the type of device and the work required. We provide upfront pricing, so you'll know exactly what to expect before any work is done.

Depending on the situation, we may need to replace the device or perform maintenance to ensure it functions correctly. Once the issue is addressed, we will retest the system and provide you with a backflow certification if everything passes.
