Backflow Preventer Testing & Inspections

Backflow preventers are an important part of your fire protection system.

Located between your fire protection system and the water source that supplies it, a backflow preventer ensures that the water inside your sprinkler system doesn’t backflow into your water supply, causing potentially hazardous cross-contamination to the drinking water.

There are two main backflow preventer types used for fire safety systems: Double Check Valves (DCVs) and Reduced Pressure Zones (RPZ).

DVCs are most commonly used for low-hazard settings where a cross contamination wouldn’t result in a health hazard.

RPZs are typically required in high-hazard settings. These include those where a cross-connection that is unprotected could result in contamination to the water supply and cause disease, illness, or even death.

At Certizona, we are well versed in all types of backflow preventers. With over thirty years of experience, our expert team can take care of your annual backflow testing and inspection, maintenance, repairs, and replacement.

We can also provide the necessary paperwork for submission to your local fire department and insurance provider.

Backflow Preventer Testing, Inspection, and Maintenance

Testing and inspections are required per NFPA 25 & local/state water departments to assure that all backflow preventers are up to code and will operate effectively and safely.

During a routine inspection, Certizona’s highly trained and certified service technicians will perform thorough testing.

This includes a visual inspection of the backflow assembly for damage, corrosion, and leaks.

Additionally, all valves are pressure tested to confirm that the assembly is operating correctly.

Following testing and inspection, we will forward a complete and detailed system report to you and the authority having jurisdiction in your local area (city water department).

Backflow Preventer Repairs and Replacements

If the device shows signs of water leakage, it will need to be repaired or replaced.

Repairs can vary from simple fixes like o-rings or rubber gasket replacement kits to more comprehensive fixes like replacing the valves or even the entire assembly.

Steve Rogers is AWESOME!! He went above and beyond while visiting my storage site, making sure I was confident and comfortable, on how to properly use a Fire Extinguisher if ever needed. I am so grateful for him and the obvious love he has for his job.

Copperhills Church

Steve did the annual inspection of our fire extinguishers and exit lighting.  He was very thorough, professional and friendly.  We appreciate the prompt service and will definitely continue to use Certizona Fire & Safety!  Thank you!

Mikel Sitterly

We have had a few Fire and Safety companies service our fleet extinguishers over the years.  The “other guys” never seemed to have time for us and would only service a few extinguisher at a time.  Most of the time the “other guys” would tell us they couldn’t service an extinguisher and needed to sell us a new one. Certizona is just the opposite of the “other guys”.  They are on time, very responsive and very professional.  They serviced our extinguishers on site and in a timely fashion.  They didn’t ask for our first born sons, nor did they ask for an arm and a leg.  They are fair on their pricing and eager to show us how it all works.  Everything they did was transparent and honest.  I could not recommend a company more.  Look if you have Fire and or Safety needs.  Definitely give Certizona a shot.  You will not be dissapointed.

Certizona Fire and Safety has done our annual fire inspections and maintenance for the past 3 years. We are always pleased with the service and reporting they provide. Steve came out this year and went above and beyond the standard level of service expected to take care of any issues we had. I highly recommend the company.

Drew Carroll

Steve was immensely helpful. I called Certizona out to inspect and certify our fire extinguishers but Steve did much more for us! Being a pastor of a small church, I don’t really know anything about fire code and what the Marshal is looking for but Steve helped walk me through that. By the end, all our exit signs and fire extinguishers were certified and ready to go. I recommend Certizona highly!
