- Your water utility or city has sent a notice that a test is due

Testing and repairs done right
Many local water utilities require backflow devices on irrigation systems and certain other connections to be tested on a regular schedule. We'll test the device, make any repairs needed to bring it back into compliance, and replace it if it can't be repaired.
Kansas winters are hard on above-ground backflow devices. If yours wasn't winterized properly, we can check it for freeze damage before you turn the sprinklers back on in the spring.
FAQ
Backflow Testing & Repair: common questions
How often does a backflow preventer need to be tested?
Requirements vary by water utility. Many require annual testing for irrigation and commercial devices. If you've received a notice, give us a call and we'll get it scheduled.
What happens if my device fails the test?
Most failures are caused by worn seals, springs or check valves that can be repaired. If the device is badly damaged or outdated, we'll recommend a replacement.
