Backflow preventers protect the public water supply from contamination, and Indiana takes them seriously. Under 327 IAC 8-10, commercial properties with backflow prevention devices must have them tested at least annually by a certified tester, with results submitted to the water utility and records maintained.
Sutton Life Safety tests backflow prevention assemblies on domestic water lines, fire protection lines, and irrigation systems for commercial properties across Northwest Indiana, and we handle the paperwork that goes with it.
Our certified backflow testing keeps your assemblies compliant with Indiana 327 IAC 8-10 and proven cross-connection control standards. We test reduced pressure zone, double check, and pressure vacuum breaker assemblies, tag every device, and file the report with your water purveyor. Backflow testing across Northwest Indiana is scheduled annually so your business never falls out of compliance.
We test and document all common backflow prevention assemblies:
Devices protecting against hazards must be tested at intervals no greater than one year, more often for severe hazards.
Testing must be performed by a certified backflow tester, with results submitted to the utility.
Test documentation must be maintained, both you and the utility are responsible for the paper trail.
Most backflow work starts with a compliance letter from the water utility and a deadline. We schedule the test, perform it, file the paperwork, and put you on a recurring annual cycle so the next letter never comes.
Indiana requires annual testing of backflow prevention devices under 327 IAC 8-10, and utilities send notices when a device is due. We perform the test and file the paperwork with your utility before the deadline.
Only certified backflow testers. Results must be documented and submitted to the water utility, and records maintained, both the property owner and the utility share responsibility for the paper trail.
We quote the repair, install the rebuild kit or replacement parts, retest the assembly, and refile the passing result, usually in a single return visit.
Yes. Backflow preventers on fire protection lines require the same annual testing, and we coordinate it with your NFPA 25 sprinkler inspection so it all happens in one visit.
