Irrigation Backflow Testing in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Sprinkler systems are the most common reason a homeowner gets a backflow test letter. Heads sit in soil, fertilizer and pet waste, and a pressure drop on the main can pull that water back into the house supply.

Irrigation backflow testing covers whatever your system uses: a PVB on most homes, an RPZ where fertilizer injection is present, or a double check on some commercial sites.

Timing matters. In cold regions the device has to be charged and tested after spring start-up, then drained before the first hard freeze. Testing a winterized PVB is not possible, so the test lands between those two dates.

A tester also looks at the install. A PVB under 12 inches of rise, a missing union or a test cock painted shut are all common on older lawns.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with testers in Fort Lauderdale, FL who handle irrigation backflow testing, file the report and fix small problems on the spot when parts allow. Call (833) 990-5874 for backflow prevention on your sprinkler system.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Irrigation Backflow Testing in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Talk to a person
What is the difference between an RPZ and a double check valve?
Both have two independent check valves. An RPZ adds a relief valve between the checks that discharges water to atmosphere if the checks leak, which is why it is required on high-hazard connections.
How long does a backflow test take?
A residential PVB or double check test usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. Large commercial and fire line assemblies take longer.
Do I need an expansion tank after installing a backflow preventer?
Often, yes. The device makes your plumbing a closed system, so heated water cannot expand back to the main and the water heater relief valve may start dripping.
What is a cross-connection?
Any point where drinking water piping can come into contact with a non-potable source. Common examples are a hose in a bucket, a boiler fill line and an irrigation system.
Who sends the test report to the water utility?
The tester usually files it, either on the utility's paper form or through its online portal. Ask for a copy for your own records.
