Common Reasons Alpharetta Customers Call
Annual Compliance Testing
Many irrigation systems and commercial properties require yearly backflow testing by code.
Device Failed A Previous Test
A failed test needs repair or replacement before it will pass certification.
New Irrigation System Installed
New irrigation installations typically require a backflow preventer if one isn't already in place.
Visible Leaking At The Device
A leaking backflow preventer usually needs repair or replacement, not just tightening.
What To Do While You Wait
Don't Bypass A Failed Device
Never remove or bypass a backflow preventer that fails testing; it exists to protect drinking water from contamination.
Report Suspected Contamination
If you notice unusual taste, color, or odor in tap water after irrigation or other cross-connection use, stop using it and call us or your water utility.
Keep Test Records
Hold onto your annual test certificate; many jurisdictions and insurers require proof of current testing.
Schedule Testing Before The Deadline
Don't wait until a compliance deadline is imminent; device issues found during testing sometimes need parts we have to order.
What This Looks Like In Alpharetta
Alpharetta's water provider requirements for backflow testing apply to both residential irrigation systems and commercial properties, and we can help confirm which applies to your address.
Newer Alpharetta subdivisions with in-ground irrigation almost always have a backflow preventer already installed, which still needs annual testing even if it's never given you a problem.
Commercial properties along Alpharetta's retail and office corridors typically have more frequent inspection requirements than residential customers, which we can help you track.
Newer construction along the GA-400 corridor sometimes already meets current backflow prevention code, but retrofitted irrigation systems in older properties are the calls where we most often find a device missing or overdue for testing.
We keep a record of testing dates for our repeat customers, so we can send a reminder before the next annual requirement comes due rather than leaving it entirely up to you to track.
