Why Backflow Testing Is Required

Water Safety Requirement

Backflow preventers protect the public water supply from contamination. Annual testing is required by most Louisiana water utilities.

Annual Deadline

Most properties with irrigation systems or commercial connections are required to test their backflow preventer every year by a set deadline.

Same-Day Certificate

WD Plumbing issues your certificate the same day the test is completed so you can submit it to your utility without delay.

Who Needs Backflow Testing?

  • Homes with irrigation or sprinkler systems
  • Commercial and industrial properties
  • Properties that received a notice from their water utility
  • New installations requiring initial certification
  • Properties with fire suppression systems
  • Any property with a backflow preventer device

What Happens During the Test

A licensed tester checks that the backflow preventer is functioning correctly and preventing water from flowing back into the public supply. The test typically takes 30 minutes or less.

If the device passes, a certificate is issued the same day. If a repair is needed, WD Plumbing can advise on next steps.
