Protecting the municipal water supply is a critical responsibility for property owners. We provide professional backflow testing in Jackson Heights Queens, ensuring your building's plumbing safety devices are functioning correctly and that your property remains in compliance with NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulations.

Annual Compliance Testing

A backflow prevention device stops contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean city water supply if a sudden drop in pressure occurs. Because these devices rely on internal check valves and springs, they can degrade over time. That is why an annual backflow test Jackson Heights Queens is strictly required for applicable properties. We perform these tests accurately and handle the necessary filing with the city to keep your records up to date.

Repairs and Installations

If your device fails its annual test, immediate action is required. In many cases, we can disassemble the unit and replace the internal rubber seals or springs to restore proper function. If the brass body of the device is cracked or severely corroded, a complete backflow preventer installation Jackson Heights Queens may be necessary. We handle both minor repairs and full replacements.

Who Needs a Backflow Preventer?

Requirements for backflow prevention vary widely. Generally, multi-family buildings with large boilers, commercial properties, and buildings with treated water systems are mandated to have them. If you have received a notice from the DEP regarding backflow compliance, we can assess your property and install the required assembly.
