What Is a Backflow Inspection?
A backflow inspection is a yearly safety check to ensure your plumbing system is not allowing contaminated water to flow backward into the city’s clean water supply. In Fort Lauderdale, the city requires annual certification for most residential and commercial backflow preventers.
During your inspection, a certified technician will:
- Verify that your device meets city and DEP standards
- Perform pressure tests on each valve chamber
- Confirm that no water is reversing through the system
- Provide a signed certification report for the city
Is This Mandatory in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Fort Lauderdale and the State of Florida both require annual backflow testing for any property with irrigation systems, fire sprinklers, or certain commercial plumbing setups. If you received a letter from the city, your deadline is approaching.
