Signs You Need Backflow Testing & Repair in San Diego

Your plumbing usually gives you clues before it fails. Keep an eye out for these common signs around your San Diego home:

• It has been more than a year since your last certified test, leaving you out of compliance with district rules.
• You’ve noticed discolored water or an unexplained drop in pressure, which can signal a failing assembly.
• The backflow device is visibly corroded, dripping, or sticking, all signs the internal valves are wearing out.
• You’re adding irrigation, a pool, or a fire line that triggers a new backflow requirement under local code.
