Q: How often does a backflow device need to be tested?

A: Testing frequency depends on the type of connection and the local water-system requirements. Many regulated assemblies are tested on a recurring schedule, commonly annually. Follow the notice or requirements issued for your property.

Q: What happens if a backflow device fails?

Q: Can you submit the test paperwork?

A: Planet Plumbing can assist with required test documentation and utility submission where that service is applicable. Bring or send any notice you received so the correct local process is followed.
