What Is Backflow & Why It Matters
Understanding the Risks to Your Water System
It often occurs when there’s a sudden drop in water pressure, allowing contaminated water to reverse direction and enter your system due to failures in components like a check valve or improper separation between cross connections.
This is especially important in Portland, where local regulations require certain properties to maintain properly functioning backflow prevention systems. Keeping your system compliant helps protect not only your home, but also the public water supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is backflow?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction than intended, allowing contaminated water to enter your clean water supply. This can happen due to pressure changes in the system, such as a drop in main water pressure, and can pose serious health risks if not properly prevented.
Is backflow testing required in Portland?
Yes, many residential and commercial properties in Portland are required to have annual backflow testing. This ensures that backflow prevention devices are functioning correctly and protecting the public water supply. Requirements may vary based on property type, but compliance is important to avoid penalties and maintain safety.
How often should backflow be tested?
Backflow devices typically need to be tested once per year, though some systems may require more frequent checks depending on local regulations and usage. Regular testing ensures the device is working properly and helps identify issues early before they pose a risk to your water supply.
What happens if my backflow device fails?
If a backflow device fails inspection, it must be repaired or replaced to restore proper function and meet local compliance requirements. A failed device means it may not effectively prevent contaminated water from entering your clean supply, so prompt action is necessary to ensure safety and avoid violations.
How much does backflow testing cost?
The cost of backflow testing varies depending on the type of system and accessibility of the device. We provide clear recommendations and transparent pricing before performing any work, so you understand the cost upfront and can make an informed decision about testing or repairs.
