Backflow Services
Backflow in a fire sprinkler system can be a serious and expensive problem for property owners.
To ensure you remain in compliance and protected from backflow issues, you can turn to National Fire & Safety for inspection, testing, and reporting services.
Backflow Inspection
National Fire & Safety has certified inspectors with expertise on the following types of backflow systems:
- Fire suppression system
- Irrigation
- Domestic
Your backflow prevention devices must be inspected on an annual basis. The EPA estimates that backflow problems occur in about five percent of residential properties with backflow systems, and in an even higher percentage of commercial properties.
Many of the risks posed by backflow systems can be mitigated by being proactive about inspections.
We conduct inspections and provide you and your local water authority with a comprehensive report on an annual basis. All devices that pass inspection will be visibly tagged to reflect their status as up to code.
To learn more about our backflow inspection services or to schedule an appointment, fill out the request a quote form or call 720-657-1221.
Backflow Testing
Many states and municipalities make annual testing and inspection of backflow preventers mandatory. Tests must be conducted by a licensed fire sprinkler inspector certified in backflow prevention testing.
After a licensed inspector has certified the health of your backflow system, it then must receive approval by the presiding water authority in your area.
During backflow testing, the inspector must verify that none of the stagnant, non-potable water in your fire sprinkler system is backing up into the potable water system in your building or structure.
Backflow issues are not only a threat to the safety of your community’s drinking water, they can be an expensive problem for the owner of the property with the faulty device.
