The Importance of Backflow Testing
A backflow is designed to only allow water to flow in one direction. Why would such a thing be necessary you may ask? Well, let’s just say contaminated water flowing back into your home is not something anyone would choose to happen to them! It makes sense to make sure the component which enables this to not happen is in proper working order. The test is mandated by the State of Illinois. American National Sprinkler and Lighting has state certified professional plumbers on staff to certify and make sure your backflow is in good working order keeping you in compliance with state and local regulationsIn addition, giving your family peace of mind that your house water is safe.
Backflow Test - One of our state licensed plumbers will test your backflow device with an approved and calibrated gauge to assure compliance with government standards. We then submit a copy of your test to the county or municipality you reside in.
