Safe, clean water is a must for every home and business in Acadiana. Backflow can threaten that safety by allowing pollutants or contaminants to flow backward into your water supply.

What is Backflow and Why Does Testing Matter?
Backflow is the unwanted reversal of water flow in your plumbing system, potentially drawing pesticides, chemicals, or wastewater into the clean water lines. Causes can include drop in municipal water pressure (main breaks, firefighting, etc.) or faulty plumbing assemblies.
Cities like Lafayette, Youngsville, and Carencro require annual backflow testing, especially for commercial properties and irrigation systems, to prevent contamination and protect public health.
