WHY YOUR HOME
Needs Backflow Testing
Your irrigation system, pool fill connection, or specialized plumbing may create a pathway for contaminated water to flow backward into the municipal water supply. Backflow prevention devices protect not just your home, but the entire water system—including Lake Pontchartrain and the freshwater sources that sustain our region.
Residential Backflow
The New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board requires backflow testing on residential properties with cross-connections. If you receive a notice, you typically have 30-60 days to complete testing and submit certification.
THE INSPECTION PROCESS
1. Quick Scheduling
Call for next-available appointment. Same day availability is usual.
2. Testing
We test your backflow device on-site. Most residential tests take 15-20 minutes.
3. Results
Immediate pass/fail determination. If your device fails, we explain exactly what repairs are needed.
4. Report
We submit all paperwork to the sewage and water board, so you don't have to.
