If your annual backflow test is due or your device failed inspection, backflow testing services in Redwood City from Handy Bay Plumbing keep your property compliant with the City's cross connection control program.
Backflow prevention is mostly about staying ahead of a deadline, but a few signs mean something needs attention now.
Backflow devices are usually installed right after the water meter, separate from the rest of your interior plumbing, so an issue here rarely affects other systems in the house. If you are also dealing with unrelated pipe issues elsewhere, see our pipe repair page.
1. Test. A certified tester performs the required annual test on your backflow prevention assembly.
2. Report. If the device passes, we file the test report with the City on your behalf.
3. Repair if needed. If the device fails, we quote one flat rate price for the repair and retest until it passes.
