Backflow is one of the most overlooked — and most serious — threats to public water safety. It occurs when water flows in the wrong direction through your plumbing system, allowing contaminated water from fire suppression systems, irrigation lines, or industrial equipment to reverse into the municipal water supply. The results can range from discolored water to genuine public health emergencies.
For commercial property owners, backflow prevention is not optional. The EPA and state drinking water regulations require backflow prevention assemblies on any connection between a potable water supply and a potential source of contamination — which includes virtually every commercial fire sprinkler system in existence.

FAQ

Who is required to have backflow testing done?
Any commercial property with a fire sprinkler system, irrigation system, booster pump, or other cross-connection to the potable water supply is typically required to have an annual backflow test. Requirements vary by municipality — contact your water utility or local AHJ if you’re unsure.
How do I know if my backflow preventer is failing?
A failing backflow preventer often shows no visible symptoms until it’s too late. That’s exactly why annual testing is required — the only reliable way to confirm proper function is a calibrated pressure test performed by a certified tester.
Does Region Fire Protection submit test reports to the water authority?
Yes. We provide you with a completed test report and can submit results directly to your water utility where required.
What if my backflow preventer fails the test?
A failed test means the assembly is not providing adequate protection and needs repair or replacement. Region Fire Protection offers repair service and can coordinate replacement to bring your system back into compliance quickly
