How often does a backflow preventer need to be inspected?
Most backflow preventers should be inspected and tested on a schedule set by your local water authority or city code. The exact interval depends on the device type and local rules. In Kokomo, Logansport, and nearby areas, our licensed plumbers confirm the required cadence, perform the test, and provide any documentation or tagging your provider needs.
Quick checks you can do:
- Look for leaks or a dripping relief valve.
- Note sudden low water pressure or discolored water.
- Keep the area around the assembly clear.
