Protect Your Clean Water Supply
Water is supposed to flow one way, from the public supply into your building. A drop in pressure, such as a water main break or heavy demand from firefighting, can cause it to reverse. That reverse flow is called backflow, and it can pull water from a sprinkler system, irrigation line, or other connection back into the clean water supply.
A backflow prevention assembly is a mechanical device that stops that reverse flow. Because it protects drinking water, many Arizona municipalities and water providers require backflow assemblies to be tested every year by a certified technician.
Craig Fire Protection tests, repairs, replaces, and installs backflow assemblies, and provides the testing and certification paperwork that comes with them. Common reasons people call us include an annual test coming due, a failed test, a leaking or damaged assembly, a certification or compliance deadline, or a device that needs repair or replacement.

Why Backflow Testing Matters
A backflow assembly can look fine from the outside and still fail inside. Testing is the only way to know it works.
-

A working assembly keeps contaminated water out of the supply your building, and your neighbors, depend on.
-
Confirms Your Device Works
Testing checks the valves and pressures inside the assembly, so problems are found before they matter.

Annual testing and certification help you meet municipal and water provider requirements and deadlines.

Backflow Testing for Arizona Properties
In Lake Havasu City and the communities along the Colorado River, the clean water that reaches homes and businesses is a resource worth protecting. Working backflow assemblies are a big part of that.
Requirements are not the same everywhere in Arizona. Each city or water provider sets its own cross-connection rules, testing deadlines, and paperwork. We can help you understand what your notice is asking for.
Arizona conditions also take a toll on the devices themselves. Assemblies above ground sit in direct summer sun, mineral buildup can affect valve parts over time, and in the higher, colder areas of the state, exposed assemblies need protection from freezing. Annual testing is how these problems get caught.

Backflow Prevention FAQs
What is a backflow prevention device?
A backflow prevention device is a mechanical assembly that stops contaminated water from flowing backward into a clean water supply. These devices are commonly used with fire sprinkler systems, irrigation systems, and commercial plumbing systems.
How often does a backflow preventer need to be tested in Arizona?
Many Arizona municipalities require annual backflow testing by a certified technician. Exact requirements can vary by local water provider, property type, and system.
Who needs backflow prevention services?
Commercial, industrial, and residential properties with fire sprinkler systems, irrigation systems, commercial plumbing systems, or other cross-connections may require backflow protection. Restaurants, apartments, warehouses, healthcare facilities, schools, and other businesses commonly require testing and certification.
What happens during a backflow test?
A certified technician inspects the assembly, checks valve performance and pressure levels, and verifies that the device is preventing reverse flow. A failed assembly may need repair or replacement before certification can be completed.
I received a backflow testing notice. What should I do?
Request a quote or call (928) 453-7185, and have your notice handy so you can tell us the deadline. We test the assembly, take care of any needed repairs, and provide the documentation your water provider requires.

Requirements may involve NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, NFPA 13D, NFPA 25, applicable Arizona plumbing requirements, and local cross-connection control rules. Exact requirements depend on the system and where it is located.
