Backflow Testing | Services | AZ Irrigation & Maintenance

Protect Your Property and Water Supply with Certified Backflow Testing in Arizona

Imagine your clean drinking water under threat from invisible invaders—fertilizers or contaminants sneaking back when pressures flip. That’s the danger of backflow. But fear not: our certified technicians stand guard with tests, traps, and reports. We don’t just test; we protect your health, compliance, and peace of mind—on time, every time.

What Is Backflow and Why Is Testing Important?

Backflow occurs when the direction of water flow reverses due to a sudden change in pressure. This reversal can cause contaminants—such as fertilizers, pesticides, and waste—to enter the clean water supply. This is a serious health risk and a violation of municipal safety standards.

To prevent contamination, irrigation systems are equipped with backflow prevention devices that block polluted water from flowing back into your drinking water supply. These devices are only effective when properly maintained and tested on a regular basis.

In Arizona, annual backflow testing is required by law for most commercial and multi-family properties. Failure to test and report can result in fines, utility shutoffs, and liability for water contamination.
