Certified Backflow Prevention Testing & Installation in Northern Virginia

Backflow is the reversal of water flow in a plumbing system — when contaminated water from an irrigation line, fire suppression system, pool, or plumbing cross-connection flows backward into your clean drinking water supply. This can introduce fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals, bacteria, and other harmful contaminants into the municipal water supply, posing a serious public health risk. Most jurisdictions in Northern Virginia require annual backflow testing by a certified tester, and many require a permit when installing or replacing backflow prevention devices. 2020 Drain Clean & Plumbing is certified to install, inspect, test, repair, and certify all types of backflow prevention devices for both residential and commercial properties — and we file the required compliance documentation on your behalf.
