Backflow Testing & Repairs in the Inland Empire

Protecting Your Water Supply

State and municipal codes require that backflow prevention devices be installed in commercial and public facilities, as well as certain residential buildings, such as apartments and condos. The devices are designed to prevent the backflow of contaminated water into potable water systems. At 24 Hour Express Services Inc., we provide backflow testing in San Bernardino and Riverside counties for multi-family residential buildings, commercial properties, and industrial facilities.

County ordinances require annual backflow testing and certification to ensure that these devices are in good working order and that the drinking water supply is protected. We are fully licensed, certified, and insured to provide services to meet all your Inland Empire backflow prevention and plumbing needs.

Backflow Prevention Keeps Water Clean

Under normal conditions, the water supply in your home, commercial facility, or industrial site maintains enough water pressure to enable the water to flow properly. However, there are circumstances in which the pressure becomes significantly reduced. This leaves you at risk of having wastewater mix with your drinking water supply. A backflow prevention device helps to prevent this from happening and keeps your water clean and safe.

A backflow prevention device offers protection when water pressure is reduced due to:

Frozen pipes
Broken pipes
A break in the water line
An emergency, such as a fire, that requires a lot of water from several hydrants

Regardless of the reason for a drop in water pressure, your potable water pipe may siphon wastewater through the pipe, which contaminates your water supply. This leaves anyone using the water at risk of serious diseases. The backflow prevention device is installed to block the contaminated water from entering your water supply.

The Importance of Backflow Testing

Backflow prevention devices, like any mechanical device, experience wear and tear over time. This can result in a failure of the device, which leaves your water supply vulnerable. For this reason, there are annual requirements for backflow testing in Inland Empire. Our trained and certified Inland Empire backflow testing technicians have the skill and experience needed to ensure that your backflow devices are in compliance with the law.

During the testing, our plumbers will:

Perform a visual inspection of the devices
Test the device with a gauge to measure the pressure
Assess the condition of the valve and results of the testing

What happens next depends on the results of the testing. If the device is working properly, you will be provided with a certification stating that your device passed the testing. In the event that a device does not pass backflow testing in Inland Empire, we can repair it to ensure that it is working properly and passes the test.

Common Backflow Preventer Problems

When your backflow preventer is not working as it should, it could result in the contamination of your water supply. Our Inland Empire backflow repair team can identify whatever issues may be impacting your system and provide effective solutions.

Some of the most frequent issues we see include:

Faulty first check valve: This valve should open when water pressure is around 2.0 PSI, but may open at lower pressures if it is not functioning correctly.
Faulty second check valve: If there is too much backpressure, this valve failing could result in water leaking past it and back into the system.
Relief valve opening point is incorrect: When the water enters the relief valve, there are several elements that are triggered to block the seal. If the opening point is too low or too high, the valve cannot function properly.

“Excellent experience. Shane was our service tech and he went above and beyond expectations. We had a rather unusual job and had already been turned down by two other plumbing services but Shane has years of experience and was able to complete the job quickly and for a very fair price. We will definitely use 24 Hour Express Services for any future needs.”
