Backflow testing should be scheduled at least once a year for most properties, and some systems may need more frequent checks depending on local requirements and usage. Regular testing helps confirm that the device is working properly and that your water supply stays protected.
Why yearly testing matters
Backflow preventers can wear down over time, collect debris, or develop internal issues that are not obvious from the outside. A routine test helps catch problems early before they turn into compliance issues or water quality concerns.
When to test sooner
- After plumbing repairs or system changes
- After freezing weather or flooding
- If a city notice requires reinspection
- When the device shows visible leaks or unusual behavior
