Water normally flows from the city main into your property under steady pressure. A burst water main or heavy fire hydrant use can cause a sudden pressure drop. If pressure drops enough, water can flow backward through your pipes. Without a working backflow preventer, water from irrigation or other cross-connections can enter your drinking water lines. That water may carry pesticides, fertilizers, or even sewage, which can make it unsafe to drink. Proper backflow prevention in Glendale helps stop that contaminated water from reaching your taps.
Arizona requires certain backflow assemblies to be tested at least once a year by a certified tester. A device can appear normal even when an internal problem is developing, which is why regular testing matters. For backflow testing in Glendale, our Arizona-certified backflow testers use specialized equipment to check for reverse flow. If a required device fails testing, we can make code-compliant repairs or replace it when necessary, helping address the issue before it leads to further municipal action. We can also install a new backflow preventer when a property needs one. After repair or installation, required backflow devices must be tested to confirm they are working properly.
As a trusted local plumber in Glendale, AZ Family Plumbing can help with annual backflow testing, repairs, and new prevention system installation. We’ll explain what your property needs and the next step to take.

Property owners often have questions about backflow devices and the rules that apply to them. Here are answers to several common questions. We’re always glad to answer all your plumbing questions, so reach out to our friendly team at any time.
Water backflow is the reverse flow of water into your clean supply lines. It becomes dangerous at a cross-connection, where drinking water can come into contact with a non-drinking source. Irrigation systems and garden hoses are common examples. Backflow concerns the direction of water flow, not a drain blockage. For clogged drain lines, our rooter services address a different plumbing problem.
For some Glendale properties, yes. Under Arizona rules, required backflow assemblies must be tested at least once a year by a certified tester. Glendale requires commercial water customers to have their backflow assemblies inspected annually. Your water provider can confirm the requirement for your property.
Yes. The plumbers who handle our backflow testing are certified backflow testers. You can ask about their credentials when you schedule your test.
A failed test means the assembly is not stopping reverse flow the way it should. Our plumbers explain what failed and whether backflow preventer repair or replacement makes more sense. If we find a separate plumbing problem during the visit, our plumbing repair service in Glendale can address it.
Yes. We give you the price before starting a backflow repair. You can review the recommendation and decide whether you want us to proceed.
