Backflow Inspections
We Provide Certified Backflow Inspections, Testing, and Compliance for Fire Protection Systems
Backflow inspections are critical evaluations that ensure the proper functioning of your backflow preventer system. Regular inspections are essential to safeguard against potential contamination risks and maintain the reliability of your water supply.
Our highly skilled inspectors meticulously examine and test every component of the backflow preventer system during the inspection process. This includes the backflow preventer assembly, check valves, relief valves, shutoff valves, test cocks, and pressure gauges. We meticulously inspect for any signs of damage, corrosion, leaks, or improper installation that could compromise the system’s effectiveness. We also verify the proper operation of check valves, assess pressure differentials, and test the relief valves to ensure their functionality.
Backflow Compliance
Compliance with regulatory standards is of utmost importance in backflow inspections. The NFPA, local plumbing codes, and industry-specific guidelines provide a framework for maintaining the safety and effectiveness of backflow preventer systems. We also adhere to ABPA, ASSE, and other various standards for testing. Our inspectors are extensively trained to understand and comply with these standards, ensuring that your inspections are conducted in accordance with the highest industry practices.
Regular backflow preventer inspections and adherence to regulatory standards are crucial for the safety of your water supply and to prevent potential health hazards. By scheduling regular inspections, you reduce the risk of contamination and demonstrate your commitment to maintaining a safe and compliant water system.

Annual Backflow Testing – What You Should Know
In Denver and most Colorado municipalities, annual backflow preventer testing is mandatory. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Important notes to keep in mind for this inspection
- During this test, water will be interrupted briefly as the testing method requires. This is very short and, most times, not noticed by tenants.
- For your information, you can call your water purveyor and request a list of backflow preventers they are tracking at your property to get a better idea of what is onsite.
- A protective cage commonly locks irrigation backflow preventers to prevent damage and theft. Please verify with your staff or irrigation company that we have access to these devices prior to the visit to avoid multiple trips.
- In the event that a domestic backflow preventer fails, the device will need to be repaired within 14 days per the water purveyor.
