Backflow Testing Services

Backflow preventers are crucial for protecting the safety of our drinking water. In certain situations, such as when there is a loss of pressure in the main water supply, the flow of water can reverse direction and bring contaminants back into the clean water supply. This can be extremely dangerous and even deadly if consumed by humans. By installing a backflow preventer from RBA Mechanical, you can ensure that your potable water supply remains free from any potential contamination. Our high-quality and reliable backflow preventers have been extensively tested to meet all industry standards, giving you peace of mind and an added layer of protection for your family’s health and well-being.

As a customer, it is important to be aware of the risks and regulations surrounding backflow prevention. Generally, backflow preventers are required in all commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings after the water meter. This ensures that any potential contaminated fluid is stopped from flowing back into the main potable water supply. Additionally, backflow preventers are necessary for irrigation systems, fire systems, and water make-up systems (including for residential homes) – protecting both you and the community’s water supply from potential contamination. Our team at RBA Mechanical can help assess your specific needs and ensure that you have the proper backflow preventers in place to keep your water supply safe. Trust us to provide reliable and efficient solutions for all your backflow prevention needs.

Backflow preventers play a crucial role in preventing contamination of potable water, so it is essential that they are tested regularly to ensure they are working correctly. In most cases, an annual test is sufficient, but in extreme high hazard conditions, such as industrial sites or hospitals, it may be necessary to have the backflow preventer tested twice a year. At RBA Mechanical, we understand the importance of maintaining safe and reliable backflow prevention systems, which is why we offer professional testing services to give our customers peace of mind and comply with regulations. Trust us to keep your water supply safe and healthy with our expert backflow preventer testing services.

It is crucial to test a newly installed backflow preventer because even brand new devices can fail due to various reasons. These devices may have been mishandled during shipping, which can cause damage and affect their functionality. Additionally, installation errors or exposure to freezing temperatures can also lead to failure. By testing the device before putting it into service, you are ensuring that it is in proper working condition and will effectively prevent backflow.
