Backflow testing
in Little Rock, AR

You got a letter from the Little Rock water department saying your backflow prevention device needs testing. Or maybe you installed an irrigation system last year and you know the annual test is due. You're not sure what backflow testing involves or why it's required, but you know you have to get it done or risk having your water shut off.

We're certified backflow testers serving Little Rock. We test backflow prevention devices, handle all the paperwork with the city, and make sure you stay compliant with Little Rock's water regulations. It's a straightforward process that usually takes less than an hour, and we submit the results directly to the water department so you're done for the year.

Your Local Plumber: Keeping Your Device Compliant

Backflow testing is a required annual inspection of your backflow prevention device. Little Rock mandates that any property with a backflow preventer gets it tested every 12 months by a certified tester. This applies to residential irrigation systems, commercial properties, and any building where contaminated water could flow back into the public water supply.

The test checks whether your device actually works. These devices have internal valves and springs that wear out or get clogged over time. We use specialized equipment to measure pressure at different points and verify the valves close when they should. Homes in Hillcrest and The Heights with irrigation systems need this, along with commercial properties in West Little Rock, restaurants, medical facilities, and industrial buildings.

After testing, we fill out the official forms and submit them to the Little Rock water department. That submission shows you're compliant for another year. If you don't get your device tested annually, the city will send you notices and can eventually shut off your water service.

Most people don't think about their backflow preventer until they get a notice from the city. The device just sits there doing its job. But the annual test is required whether you think about it or not, and falling behind creates problems.

Why Local Matters
For Your Plumbing

You could call a big national chain. They'll probably charge you more and send someone who doesn't know Little Rock. Local plumbers understand that homes in Pulaski Heights have different plumbing than new builds in West Little Rock. They know which neighborhoods have hard water problems and which areas tend to have foundation shifts that affect plumbing.

When you call a local company, you get someone who answers the phone and can usually tell you right away what's probably happening and when they can get there. No automated system. No waiting on hold for 20 minutes.

Response times are better too. A local plumber is 15 minutes away, not coming from another city. If you've got a burst pipe or sewage backing up, those minutes matter. Plus, local companies know the city inspectors, understand Little Rock's specific codes, and can get permits processed faster. When you need plumbing work done right and done quickly, local is the way to go.
