Company History

Collins Backflow opened in 1990 with a clear purpose: protect drinking water in the northeast corner of Illinois. Over three decades the company handled individual devices and large municipal projects, including school districts and public works. The work has grown from simple testing to design-build services and high-hazard systems.

The business kept a hands-on approach as it expanded. Technicians who started as apprentices are now certified testers and installers. That continuity helps when older homes and subdivisions around the Fox River need care during cold winters and shifting soil conditions.

Leadership

The owner calls himself part of a team rather than a boss. He built the company around customer fulfillment and long-term trust. With certifications from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Department of Health, leadership stays involved in training and local industry efforts.
