Commercial Backflow Testing in Akron, OH

A single commercial property can have five or six devices: one on the domestic service, one on the fire line, one on irrigation, and smaller ones on the boiler feed, the soda machine and the ice maker.

Commercial backflow testing means finding all of them, testing each one and getting every report to the utility on time. Missing one device is enough to trigger a violation letter.

Restaurants are a common example. Carbonated drink dispensers need protection because CO2 mixed with water forms an acid that can eat copper. Medical and dental offices often need RPZs on equipment lines.

Large services also mean large assemblies. A 4 inch domestic RPZ takes more time to test and more water when the relief valve discharges, so the tester checks that the floor drain can handle it.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects property managers in Akron, OH with testers who keep a device list for each building and schedule backflow testing so all reports land before the due date. Call (833) 990-5874 for backflow prevention across your properties.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Commercial Backflow Testing in Akron, OH.

Talk to a person
What happens if I miss the backflow test deadline?
Utilities usually send a second notice, and after that some add a fee or schedule a service shutoff. Calling (833) 990-5874 before the deadline is the simplest way to avoid it.
How long does a backflow test take?
A residential PVB or double check test usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. Large commercial and fire line assemblies take longer.
What does a failed backflow test mean?
A check valve or the relief valve did not hold its required pressure differential. The device needs repair or replacement, then a retest before a passing report can be filed.
Do I need an expansion tank after installing a backflow preventer?
Often, yes. The device makes your plumbing a closed system, so heated water cannot expand back to the main and the water heater relief valve may start dripping.
What is a cross-connection?
Any point where drinking water piping can come into contact with a non-potable source. Common examples are a hose in a bucket, a boiler fill line and an irrigation system.
