What should I do if I receive a backflow prevention violation?

If you receive a violation for a backflow prevention device, you should take the following steps:

  1. Review the violation notice to understand the specific issue that needs to be addressed.
  2. Schedule an inspection with a certified backflow prevention device tester to have the device tested and repaired, if necessary.
  3. Correct any identified issues and provide documentation of the repairs to the appropriate authority.
  4. Keep records of all testing and repairs, in case of future audits.

One call to Cardinal Fire & Safety and we will take care of all of the items above on your behalf.

It’s very important to take necessary steps to correct the violation as soon as possible as backflow prevention is a critical safety measure that helps to prevent contamination of the public water supply.
