Your backflow prevention device has an important job: keeping contaminated water from flowing backward into your home’s plumbing system or the public water supply. Regular backflow testing confirms that the device is working properly and helps keep your property compliant with local requirements.
Great American Plumbing & Drain Cleaning provides professional backflow testing throughout Broward County and Palm Beach County for $99 plus applicable permitting fees.
With 20 years of experience serving South Florida homes and businesses, we understand local plumbing systems, municipal requirements, and the challenges created by our region’s heat, humidity, storms, and year-round irrigation.
Call Great American Plumbing at (954) 578-1080 to schedule your backflow test.
Backflow occurs when water reverses direction inside a plumbing system. Instead of clean water flowing into your property, contaminated water can be pulled or pushed backward toward the potable water supply.
A sudden drop in water pressure
A broken water main
Heavy demand on the municipal water supply
Irrigation system pressure changes
Improper plumbing connections
A damaged or failing backflow prevention assembly
Backflow prevention devices are designed to stop that reversal before potentially contaminated water reaches your drinking water or the public supply.
A backflow preventer contains internal valves, springs, seals, and other mechanical components that can wear out over time. The device may look perfectly normal from the outside while failing internally.
Professional backflow testing checks whether the assembly opens, closes, and maintains pressure as intended. Testing can identify worn components, leaks, pressure problems, or other issues before they become larger plumbing and compliance concerns.

Straightforward Backflow Testing Prices
Backflow testing from Great American Plumbing costs $99 plus applicable permitting fees. Permitting and reporting fees can vary depending on the municipality, water provider, property, or testing requirements. If the backflow prevention device fails its test, any recommended repairs, replacement parts, or additional services will be discussed separately before work is performed. Our goal is to make the process clear and straightforward, so you understand the test results, applicable fees, and any next steps.
Backflow Testing for South Florida Homes
Many South Florida homeowners have backflow prevention devices connected to irrigation systems, pools, private fire systems, or other plumbing installations. These devices may require periodic testing depending on the property, system, and local water provider. We provide residential backflow testing for homeowners throughout Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Whether you live in Plantation, Sunrise, Coral Springs, Davie, Weston, Pembroke Pines, Fort Lauderdale, or Hollywood, we make the process straightforward. We also serve homeowners farther north in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Wellington, Lake Worth Beach, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Royal Palm Beach, and surrounding Palm Beach County communities. Not sure whether your home has a backflow prevention device or whether it needs testing? Give us a call. We’ll help you determine what you have and what your next step should be.
Backflow prevention is especially important for commercial properties, where irrigation systems, fire suppression systems, specialized equipment, and higher water demand can create additional cross-connection risks.
Office buildings
Retail locations
Restaurants
Warehouses
Multifamily properties
Medical and professional offices
Schools and childcare facilities
Condominium and homeowners’ associations
Property management companies
Other commercial facilities
We understand that business owners and property managers need prompt service, clear communication, and minimal disruption. Our goal is to complete your backflow test efficiently and explain any problems in plain language—without burying you in unnecessary plumbing jargon.
During a backflow prevention test, the assembly is evaluated to determine whether its internal components are functioning and maintaining the required pressure.
Identifying the device and checking its general condition
Connecting professional testing equipment
Measuring pressure at designated test points
Checking the internal valves and relief components
Determining whether the assembly passes or requires attention
6. Explaining the results and recommended next steps
If the backflow preventer passes, you’ll know the device is performing its job properly. If it fails, we’ll explain what was found and discuss the appropriate repair or replacement options.
Most backflow problems are discovered during routine testing, but you may also notice signs that the assembly needs service.
Water leaking or dripping around the device
Unusual changes in water pressure
Cloudy, discolored, or unusual-tasting water
Damage after landscaping or construction
A failed previous inspection
Visible rust or corrosion
An overdue testing notice
These symptoms do not always mean that backflow has occurred, but they should not be ignored. A professional evaluation can determine whether the issue involves the backflow assembly or another part of your plumbing system.

Testing frequency depends on the type of device, its application, and the requirements of your local municipality or water provider. Many assemblies require annual testing. If you received a notice, follow the deadline listed or call us for help reviewing it.
