What Is a Backflow Preventer and Why Do I Need One?

A backflow preventer stops contaminated water from flowing backward into the public water supply. In South Carolina, commercial properties, irrigation systems, and properties with contamination hazards are required by law to have tested backflow preventers.

Backflow occurs when a pressure drop in the water main causes water to flow in reverse — pulling potentially contaminated water from your irrigation system, boiler, or chemical treatment equipment back into the drinking water supply. Backflow preventers stop this from happening. They degrade over time and must be tested annually to confirm they still function correctly.

How Often Does a Backflow Preventer Need to Be Tested in SC?

Most SC municipalities require annual backflow preventer testing for commercial properties, irrigation systems, and fire suppression systems. Residential requirements vary by municipality. Call (864) 446-8911 for your specific local requirements.

After testing, Plumbing Paramedic 911 provides a signed test report that can be submitted to your municipality or water utility. If the assembly fails the test, Eric repairs it on the spot when possible, or replaces the assembly and retests to issue a passing report.
