How often does a backflow preventer need to be inspected?
Inspection frequency is set by your local code and water provider, not one fixed schedule. A licensed plumber should confirm the required testing interval for your property during a site visit in Dallas, Garland, Plano, or nearby. If you’ve had recent plumbing work, notice pressure changes, or can’t find a current test tag, schedule a test promptly. Exact costs and timing are confirmed after inspection.
Quick checks:
- Look for the last test date on the device tag.
- Note any pressure drops or discolored water.
- Book a test after repairs or system changes.
