North 2 South Backflows: Emergency Plumbing Company Serving Charlotte, NC 28278

Our standard plumbing inspection for backflow devices is a comprehensive service. A certified technician will test your device to ensure it's operating at the required pressure differential to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the public supply. We check for leaks, wear, and proper installation. Following the test, we provide a detailed report and handle submitting the official test certificate to Charlotte Water on your behalf, which is a mandatory local requirement for annual compliance.

Charlotte's expansive clay soil is a common local issue that can cause significant ground movement, potentially shifting or damaging the underground piping connected to your backflow assembly. This misalignment can lead to leaks, low water pressure, or cause the device to fail its annual test. During our inspection, we specifically check for signs of soil shifting and stress on the pipes. If we find damage, we can repair or reinstall the device on a stable, properly supported platform to ensure long-term reliability despite the challenging soil conditions.

Annual testing is mandated by Charlotte Water and state regulations to ensure every backflow prevention device is working correctly to protect our community's drinking water. If a device fails, contaminated water from irrigation systems, pools, or fire sprinklers could reverse flow into the public mains. Missing your test can result in fines and water service disruption. We simplify compliance by scheduling your annual test, performing it with over 21 years of expertise, and handling all paperwork submission. Our contactless service makes this critical maintenance obligation straightforward for Charlotte homeowners and businesses.
