Backflow Prevention and Testing

American City Plumbing, Inc. has over 25 years of experience in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and the surrounding area with 4 certified Backflow Prevention Testers on Staff. Protect yourself from liability due to contamination from backflow by calling the certified backflow prevention testers at American City Plumbing, Inc.  We will inspect your business or residence for compliance and test, service, or install backflow preventors that ensure the protection of public and private potable water supplies.  We offer property owners piece of mind as well as protection from backflow liability.

Every year, thousands of cases of backflow contamination and cross contaminations are reported.  Backflow contamination is caused by a reverse in direction of the normal flow of water in a piping system, often the result of a sudden loss of pressure in the public water mains.  As a property owner, if your plumbing system is found to have contaminated public water supplies, you could be liable for any resulting damage that occurs, opening the door for potential lawsuits.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (www.in.gov/idem) standards requires backflow preventor inspections every 6 to 12 months (depending on the device) to test for backflow compliance. American City Plumbing, Inc. will set up a schedule as necessary to make sure you stay within IDEM, State, County, and City requirements.
