Backflow Testing and Repair Services

Safeguard Your Family's Health

Your home’s water supply deserves the best protection from contamination and cross-connection hazards. At CGC Home Services, our licensed plumbers provide comprehensive residential plumbing services, including expert backflow testing and repair, to safeguard your family’s health and keep your home compliant with local water authority requirements.

Certified Backflow Prevention to Protect Your Water Supply

Backflow occurs when contaminated water reverses direction in your plumbing system and flows backward into your clean water supply. This situation can happen during pressure changes caused by water main breaks, nearby fire hydrant use or plumbing system failures.

Backflow prevention devices are specialized valves that prevent contaminated water from mixing with your clean supply and ensure your drinking water remains safe. Our certified technicians understand how critical these devices are to protecting public health, and we’re committed to keeping your system functioning properly year-round.

Backflow Prevention and Compliance Services

Local water authorities require annual backflow testing to verify that your prevention devices are working correctly. Our team makes compliance easy with fast, reliable service that takes the stress out of meeting your testing deadlines.

During each inspection, we thoroughly test all internal valves and components to ensure they meet the required pressure standards. After completing testing, we handle all documentation and submit certification paperwork directly to your local water authority on your behalf.

What This Service Includes

Our comprehensive backflow testing and repair services cover everything you need to maintain a safe, compliant water system, including the following:

Signs You Need Professional Backflow Testing or Repair

If you notice any of these situations, it’s time to schedule a backflow inspection and repair:

When you get an annual testing reminder or compliance notice from your local water authority, contact us right away to schedule your inspection before the deadline.

Outdoor Watering Systems

Homes with lawn sprinkler systems or irrigation equipment typically require backflow preventers and annual testing to protect against fertilizer and pesticide contamination.

Visible Leakage or Corrosion

You need to repair your backflow prevention device if there is any water dripping from it or signs of rust that indicate internal component failure that requires immediate attention.

Overdue Inspection Status

If your system has not been inspected in over 12 months, it is essential to have it checked to protect public health.

We loved Liz! She was so personable and very knowledgeable on all the products. Our water softener is old and there are signs that it might not be working up to par. Liz listened and answered all our questions and concerns we had. She told us in detail how your softeners work and are installed. As she did our water test, she explained the process of each chemical it was searching for, confirming some of our suspicions. She showed us options on the best type of water softener for our house. We are looking forward to knowing we’ll have safe, clean drinking water!

Great company with great technicians!

Service was excellent.

Tommy is an awesome person to deal with. I had multiple issues to sort out and he practically sorted each one out before I could even tell him the issues I was having. I have been a customer for over 20 years and I very, very highly recommend CGC Home Services in Howell, MI.

My water system is 36 years old, rusted and posed electrical and water issues. A switch was replaced but it shut off when a cracked pipe leaked water on it. This left me without water overnight. CGC returned my call quickly and Joe came out early on a Saturday morning, with a positive attitude, and got everything working. They were quick to respond and very pleasant.

Great job. Fixed my leaking soft water system.

Great job,had my Softner up and running in less than 45 min.

Christian and Kelly are pros. They listened to our needs and offered two great suggestions.

Jordan did a very professional job and he did it in a timely manner too. I would recommend him for any of your plumbing needs!

Nickolas from CGC Home Services installed our new Kinetico Water Softener and RO Water Filter. He explained everything he was going to do before starting, confirmed placement options and after installation gave us a very good overview of what ongoing maintenance is required and approximately how often. Everything was neatly completed and cleaned up when finished. We would highly recommend Nickolas for his work.
