Denver Metro Backflow Testing & Certification

Backflow testing is a critical safety procedure that checks if your backflow prevention devices are functioning properly to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply. It's essential for protecting public health by ensuring that pollutants, chemicals, or waste materials don't enter the drinking water system. Regular testing is not only important for safety but is also required by most municipalities and water authorities.

In most municipalities including Denver and surrounding areas, backflow testing is required annually. Commercial properties, irrigation systems, and fire sprinkler systems typically require yearly certification. However, some high-risk facilities may require more frequent testing. We recommend checking with your local water authority for specific requirements, and we can help you establish a regular testing schedule to maintain compliance.

Failing to test your backflow prevention devices can result in several consequences: 1) Legal penalties and fines from your municipality or water provider, 2) Potential water service interruption until compliance is achieved, 3) Increased liability if contamination occurs, 4) Risk to public health and safety. Additionally, insurance companies may deny claims related to water damage if required backflow testing wasn't performed.
