Backflow Testing for Allendale Homes

Homes on Allendale township water with lawn irrigation need a backflow preventer so sprinkler water cannot flow back into the drinking supply. Testing requirements come from the water provider, so check your notice from Allendale Charter Township. We test, file the report where required and repair or replace failing devices.

Backflow Testing Questions from Allendale

If your home has lawn irrigation or a fire sprinkler system on public water, usually yes, depending on your utility. Check your notice for the deadline. Our ASSE backflow prevention certification number is 63655. Allendale Charter Township runs its own water system, so its notice sets the rules for your home.

Call us during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and describe what you are seeing. We will explain what the first visit involves and agree a time that works. For larger jobs, we price the work after we have seen it.

Backflow is water flowing the wrong way through your plumbing. If pressure drops, water from an irrigation line or sprinkler system can be pulled back into the clean supply. A backflow preventer is a one-way barrier that stops that from happening.
