What We Check
The W.A. Sherman Company team performs several tasks during the appointment, including valve inspections and pressure checks. This ensures the backflow prevention device is functioning correctly.
There are several signs that the device may not be working properly. Frequent water pressure changes, bad-smelling water, and discolored water are a few signs the device isn’t working as it should.
However, even if you don’t notice any signs, it’s still important to schedule an annual inspection. Our team can assess the device’s condition to identify any potential problems in the works before they become severe. It’s much better for us to address minor issues early rather than when the device fully malfunctions.
After the device function test, we’ll inform you if you need any repairs, which we recommend scheduling immediately. When everything is in proper working order, we’ll provide you with certification paperwork that confirms your system’s compliance.

FAQs
Some homeowners in Orange may not be entirely familiar with the backflow testing process. However, it’s an important task, and we’re here to provide as much information about it as possible. Here are three questions clients often ask us about the process.
What is backflow?
Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows backward into the clean water supply. This can happen due to changes in water pressure or a system malfunction. Preventing this situation is important for maintaining the safety of the drinking water. You’re also contributing to the protection of the health of your neighbors in the community.
Do I need annual testing?
Most communities require annual testing of backflow prevention devices. It’s ideal to schedule it in late winter, before spring flowers start blooming and irrigation systems are fully in use. Request it along with an annual plumbing inspection, so that you can do both at the same time.
Can you fix backflow issues if something fails?
Whether we can fix the backflow issue depends on the severity of the problem. In some cases, more extensive measures, such as a replacement, are necessary. However, we offer both repair and replacement services, so you can feel confident we’ll address any needs you have with the device.
