Certified Backflow Testing in Memphis & Shelby County
Due for backflow testing? Memphis and Shelby County require it every year. Annual backflow testing keeps your irrigation system compliant and your drinking water safe. Our state-certified testers inspect your device, document the results, and file them directly with your water utility — a flat $125 per test. Backflow testing is included in every maintenance package.
Stay compliant and protect your water
A backflow preventer stops irrigation water — and anything in it — from being drawn back into your home’s drinking supply. Memphis-area utilities require these devices to be tested every year by a certified tester. With our backflow testing, Memphis customers don’t have to lift a finger: we handle the test, the paperwork, and the utility filing so you stay compliant without the hassle. Backflow prevention protects the public water supply, part of broader EPA WaterSense stewardship.

Backflow Testing Memphis — Common Questions
Is annual backflow testing required in Memphis?
Yes. In Shelby County, irrigation systems connected to the public water supply must have their backflow preventer tested every year by a certified tester, and the results filed with the water utility. It is a code requirement, not optional.
How much does backflow testing cost?
Our backflow testing is a flat $125 per device, which includes the test and filing the report with your utility. If a repair is needed, we quote that separately before doing any work.
What is a backflow preventer and why does it matter?
It is a valve that stops irrigation water — which can contain fertilizer, pesticides, or bacteria — from flowing back into your home’s drinking water. Testing confirms it still seals correctly.
How long does a backflow test take?
Most tests take under 30 minutes. We test the device, record the readings, and file the certified report with your utility the same day.
What happens if my backflow device fails the test?
We will explain exactly what failed and your options. In many cases we can rebuild or replace the assembly and retest on the spot, so you stay compliant.
