How often does a backflow preventer need to be inspected?

There isn’t one universal schedule. Inspection and testing frequency for a backflow preventer depends on your local water authority and the exact device. A licensed Summers plumber can confirm what applies in Elkhart, Mishawaka, and South Bend, and provide written results for your records.

Quick times to schedule:

• After plumbing changes or pressure issues
• When you move in or prepare to sell
• After a boil-water advisory or contamination event
