Testing for New and Repaired Backflow Preventers
Backflow preventers keep contaminated water from flowing back into the public water supply. Many Alabama water utilities require them to be tested when they are installed, after they are repaired, and on a regular schedule. Plumb-Tech provides backflow testing for homes, businesses, irrigation systems and new construction across Shelby, Jefferson and Chilton counties.

Newly Installed Backflow Testing
A new backflow assembly must be tested before it is put into service to confirm it was installed correctly and is working. We test new devices on irrigation systems, fire lines, commercial buildings and new construction, then provide the documentation your water utility or inspector needs.
Repaired Backflow Testing
Any time a backflow assembly is repaired or rebuilt, it needs to be retested to confirm it is protecting the water supply again. We test repaired devices, and if a device fails, we explain why and can make the repair.
Annual Testing & Compliance
Many utilities require an annual backflow test. We keep the process simple: we schedule the test, check every valve and check valve, and handle the paperwork so you stay in compliance.
