How should I prepare for annual backflow testing?

Before the appointment

For annual backflow testing, a little preparation helps the visit go smoothly and keeps downtime to a minimum. Dallas Landscape & Irrigation recommends making sure the device is easy to access, the area is clear of debris, and any locked gates or utility enclosures can be opened for the technician.

Helpful steps

• Locate the backflow device and clear grass, mulch, or stored items around it.
• Confirm that water service to the property can be briefly interrupted.
• Let tenants, staff, or family members know the water may be off for a short time.
• Share any known leaks, recent repairs, or plumbing issues before the test begins.

If your device is in a difficult-to-reach area or you are unsure where it is located, Dallas Landscape & Irrigation can help you sort it out during scheduling. Their team can also explain what to expect and coordinate the service around your day as much as possible.
