What is Backflow?

Backflow happens when a sudden change in water pressure causes dirty water to flow backward into your clean water supply. This can introduce contaminants such as:

• Pesticides and fertilizers

• Sewage and waste water

• Chemicals and cleaning agents

• Rust, dirt, and debris

Without proper backflow prevention, your drinking water and household plumbing are at risk.

FAQ

What is a backflow preventer and why does my property need one? A backflow preventer is a mechanical device installed on your water supply line that stops contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean municipal water supply. Under normal conditions, water flows in one direction from the main line into your property. But sudden pressure drops caused by a water main break, heavy municipal demand, or a burst pipe can reverse that flow, pulling irrigation water, chemicals, or sewage back into the supply line. A backflow preventer closes automatically when that reversal happens, protecting both your water and your neighbors'. In Georgia, backflow prevention devices are required by state law for most commercial properties, irrigation systems, fire suppression systems, and any property where a cross-connection risk exists. Many residential properties with in-ground irrigation systems are also required to have one installed.

How do I know if my backflow preventer needs to be repaired or replaced? The most common signs of a failing backflow preventer are a drop in water pressure at the affected line, water discharging from the relief valve on the device itself, visible corrosion or physical damage to the assembly, or a failed annual test. Backflow preventers have internal rubber seals and check valves that wear over time typically after 5 to 10 years of service depending on water quality and usage conditions. In many cases a failing device can be rebuilt with new internal components rather than replaced entirely, which is a lower-cost fix. We inspect the assembly, test it on site, and tell you whether repair or replacement is the right call before any work begins.

Does Georgia require annual backflow testing, and who handles the paperwork? Yes. Georgia law requires all backflow prevention assemblies to be tested annually by a certified backflow tester. Local water utilities, including those serving Cobb County, enforce this requirement and track compliance by property. A device that has not been tested can result in a notice of violation from the utility and, in some cases, interruption of water service. Paramount Plumbing is certified to perform backflow testing and files the test results directly with your water utility on your behalf. We handle all the paperwork, send you a copy of the certified test report for your records, and notify you when your next annual test is due so compliance never lapses.

What types of backflow preventers do you install and repair? We install and service all major types of backflow prevention assemblies, including reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies, double check valve assemblies (DCVA), pressure vacuum breakers (PVB), and atmospheric vacuum breakers (AVB). The correct device for your property depends on the degree of hazard present. A medical facility or chemical handling operation requires a higher level of protection than a residential irrigation system, as well as local utility requirements and the specific cross-connection being protected. We assess your property, confirm what your utility requires, and install the right device for the application. All installations are permitted, inspected, and certified to meet Georgia state and Cobb County requirements.
