How often do I need backflow prevention device testing?

Backflow Prevention Device Testing

Backflow prevention device testing is typically required once a year to help confirm your irrigation or water system is protecting the public water supply. In Dallas, routine testing is especially important because a failed device can lead to water contamination and code violations.

At Dallas Landscape & Irrigation, we recommend scheduling annual testing before your local compliance deadline so any issues can be caught early. A licensed professional will inspect the device, check pressure and valve operation, and verify that it is working properly.

• Annual testing is the most common requirement.
• Testing is often needed after repairs or replacement.
• Failed devices should be fixed promptly to stay compliant.

If your backflow device is overdue or you need help getting it tested, Dallas Landscape & Irrigation can help keep your system on schedule. You can request an estimate to get started.
