Irrigation Backflow Testing
Plumbing for Outdoors
If you have a sprinkler or irrigation system for your yard or garden, you also have a backflow preventer — a small but important device that keeps dirty water from flowing backward into your home’s clean water supply.
When your sprinkler system runs, water travels through underground pipes and out through sprinkler heads. That water can mix with fertilizer, soil, or yard chemicals. If there’s a sudden drop in water pressure (for example, from a main break or fire hydrant use), that contaminated water could get sucked back into your home’s drinking water lines.

Annual Testing
That’s where irrigation backflow testing comes in. It’s a yearly check that ensures your backflow device is doing its job — keeping the water in your irrigation lines separate from the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in.
In Indiana, most cities and water utilities require annual testing for irrigation backflow systems. The test is quick and simple — a certified plumber connects test gauges to your backflow device to make sure the internal valves and seals are working properly.
If the device fails, we can repair or replace it right away and handle all the reporting required by your local water department. Regular irrigation backflow testing keeps your water safe, protects your property, and keeps you compliant with Indiana’s plumbing codes.
