Irrigation Backflow Testing

Irrigation systems present unique cross-connection risks when back-siphonage occurs, as fertilizers and chemicals can be pulled directly into potable water lines. Backflow Boss specializes in certified irrigation backflow testing for residential yards, homeowners associations (HOAs), and commercial landscapes.

Our Irrigation Testing Process:

  • Certified Field Testing : We conduct full backflow inspections on outdoor irrigation assemblies, record precise test values on standardized forms, and ensure compliance with local codes.

  • Same Day Municipal Reporting : We submit your test results directly to the water authority on the same day when permitted.

  • Seasonal & Multi- Device Maintenance : Automated recurring testing schedules are available to manage multiple seasonal backflow devices across large properties without paperwork headaches.

  • Practical Placement & Accessibility : Beyond testing, we evaluate assembly accessibility and recommend practical service solutions or protective enclosures to simplify future maintenance.

Backflow Assembly Replacement

When a backflow preventer suffers from unresolvable damage, heavy internal corrosion, or structural wear that goes beyond standard internal rebuilds, a full replacement is required. Backflow Boss provides expert backflow replacement services for commercial facilities, residential properties, HOAs, and Muti-family communities.

When Is a Full Backflow Replacement Necessary?

  • Beyond Internal Rebuilding : Severe body cracks, deep internal corrosion, or worn-out components that cannot be successfully restored using standard repair kits or spring / seal replacements.

  • Freeze Damage : Water left in the assembly over the winter can freeze, causing the internal components, check valves, or the bass / bronze body to crack, warp, or rupture beyond repair.

Our Comprehensive Replacement Process

  • Accurate Assembly Selection : We ensure the correct sizing and type for all backflow devices, including double-check valve (DC) assemblies, reduced-pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies, and pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) assemblies, and atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB) assemblies.

  • Professional Installation : Our ASSE & MO DNR certified technicians handle the precise removal and installation of your new unit with minimal disruption to your water supply.

  • Testing & Municipal Reporting : Every new assembly is fully tested, calibrated to manufacturer tolerances, and documented with prompt compliance reporting submitted directly to the local water authority.
