Backflow preventers should be tested annually by a certified backflow assembly tester. This is a Washington and Idaho state requirement on virtually every commercial system and on most residential irrigation systems. Test results must be submitted to your water purveyor by a specific deadline each year.

Why annual testing matters

  • Required by state and local water authorities
  • Confirms checks and relief valves are working
  • Catches freeze damage early
  • Avoids fines and water service disruption
  • Documents compliance for insurance and resale

We’re certified to test, repair, and replace assemblies and we file results with your water purveyor. Book a test through our backflow prevention service or PVB service for irrigation-specific assemblies.
