A backflow preventer is a safety device that keeps contaminated water from flowing back into your clean water supply. In Spokane Valley, it’s especially important if your home has irrigation systems, boilers, or any cross-connections that could risk contamination.
If you notice low water pressure, discolored water, or leaking near the device, it may not be working as it should. Mainstream offers backflow testing and inspections in Spokane Valley to make sure your system is protecting your water supply.
Yes. Washington state and Spokane Valley codes require backflow prevention on certain plumbing systems, especially those connected to irrigation or commercial equipment. Mainstream ensures your system stays compliant and safe.
Most backflow preventers need annual testing to meet local code requirements. Mainstream provides certified testing and documentation for homeowners and businesses across Spokane Valley.
Absolutely. Whether your device needs a quick repair or a full replacement, Mainstream’s licensed plumbers deliver fast, code-compliant service to keep your home protected and your water safe.
Backflow is one of those hidden plumbing problems that most people don’t think about—until it becomes a big issue. When water flows the wrong direction in your plumbing system, it can allow contaminants like fertilizer, bacteria, or cleaning chemicals to enter your clean water supply. That’s where a backflow preventer comes in.
At Mainstream Electric, Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, we provide certified backflow preventer installation, testing, and repair for homes and businesses throughout Spokane and Northern Idaho. Since 2000, our licensed plumbers have helped protect water systems from contamination while keeping properties compliant with local regulations.
A backflow preventer is a plumbing device that ensures water only flows one way: into your home. When water pressure drops—because of a burst pipe, an open hydrant, or a system failure—there’s a risk that dirty water can reverse direction and flow back into your main supply. This is especially dangerous when there are potential cross-connections to irrigation systems, fire sprinklers, boilers, or other utility lines.
Local codes often require backflow preventers for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re in a single-family home or managing a multi-unit building, Mainstream’s licensed plumbers can assess your setup, recommend the right solution, and ensure it’s installed or tested according to code.
In Spokane County and most surrounding municipalities, annual backflow testing is required to ensure your system is functioning properly. Our team is certified to perform backflow inspections, complete necessary documentation, and submit results to your local water authority. If your device fails testing, we’ll provide fast, expert repairs or replacements to restore compliance.
With Mainstream’s Home Maintenance Care Club, staying compliant is even easier. Members get automatic reminders for annual checkups, plus discounts on repairs and priority scheduling when you need it most.
Backflow issues can arise in more places than you might think. Here are some common locations that benefit from (or require) a backflow preventer:
Irrigation systems and sprinkler lines
Commercial kitchen and food service equipment
Hose bibs and outdoor spigots
Fire suppression systems
Boilers and radiant heating
Swimming pools and water features
If you’re unsure whether your home or facility needs a preventer or test, we can help. Our plumbing inspection services include a full review of your system for risk points and compliance gaps.
If your backflow preventer is leaking, corroded, or simply outdated, it may be time for a replacement. These devices are exposed to constant pressure changes, outdoor conditions, and sediment buildup over time—all of which can lead to failure.
At Mainstream, we offer backflow preventer repair and replacement services that restore functionality quickly and correctly. Whether it’s a minor valve adjustment or a full system upgrade, our team gets the job done with minimal disruption to your day.
We also provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services for urgent situations. If you experience a sudden pressure drop, a contamination concern, or an unexpected system failure, you can count on us to show up fast—with the right tools and expertise in hand.
