Backflow Preventer Installation & Care

Protecting your home’s water supply starts with a reliable backflow preventer. At Local Sprinkler Pros, we provide professional backflow preventer installation, testing, and annual maintenance in American Fork, Utah. Backflow devices are essential for preventing contaminated water from entering your home’s drinking supply—especially in irrigation systems connected to fertilizers, pesticides, or outdoor water sources.

We help homeowners and businesses stay safe and compliant with local backflow prevention regulations. Whether you need a new install or an annual checkup, our certified team ensures your system is protected from dangerous backflow events.

What Is a Backflow Preventer and Why Do You Need One?

A backflow preventer is a safety device that stops water from flowing in the wrong direction—back into your home’s clean water system. In irrigation systems, there’s a risk that dirty or chemically treated water could siphon backward into your potable water supply during a sudden pressure drop or system failure.

Why backflow protection matters:

  • Keeps Contaminants Out of Drinking Water
    Prevents fertilizers, pesticides, dirt, and bacteria from entering your clean water supply.
  • Complies With Utah Regulations
    Most municipalities—including American Fork—require certified backflow prevention devices for lawn irrigation systems.
  • Protects Public Water Systems
    Prevents contamination that could affect not just your home, but the entire neighborhood water supply.
  • Provides Peace of Mind
    You’ll know your water is safe—even during unexpected events like line breaks or pressure surges.

Our Backflow Preventer Services

We offer full-service care for residential and commercial backflow preventers.

1. New Backflow Preventer Installation

If your system doesn’t have a backflow device or your current one is outdated, we install code-compliant units that meet local standards. We size and place the device properly based on your system design and water supply location.

2. Annual Testing & Certification

Backflow devices must be tested annually to meet local requirements. Our certified testers will inspect your device, run required tests, and submit documentation to the proper municipal agency.

3. Repairs & Replacements

We diagnose and repair leaking, broken, or malfunctioning backflow preventers. If the unit is beyond repair, we’ll replace it with a new, approved model.

4. Winterization Support

We prepare your backflow preventer for winter by draining water and protecting it from freezing conditions—extending its life and preventing cold-weather cracks.

Signs Your Backflow Preventer May Need Service

Don’t wait for a health hazard to find out something is wrong. Here are a few warning signs to watch for:

  • Unusual water color, taste, or odor
  • Leaks or puddles near the backflow device
  • Noisy or vibrating pipes
  • Reduced water pressure in your sprinkler system
  • Past-due annual inspection or city notice for compliance
