Residential Backflow Testing in Tacoma
Most homes with irrigation systems, wells, or special plumbing have backflow prevention devices. These keep your water supply safe. Washington water districts need yearly tests for these devices. If you miss the deadline, you could face fines. A shutoff notice might follow, too.
Why It Matters
A backflow device stops dirty water from entering your home's clean supply. This dirty water can be from fertilizer, pesticides, or standing irrigation. Over time, seals wear out and valves can stick, which is why annual testing is required even if nothing seems wrong.
