Backflow testing is a certified inspection that confirms a backflow preventer is working properly. A certified tester uses gauges to check the backflow assembly’s valves, pressure zones, and safety parts to make sure contaminated water cannot flow backward into the clean drinking water supply.
Different properties require different types of backflow prevention assemblies depending on the level of hazard and plumbing system design.
Our technicians are trained to test, inspect, and evaluate all major backflow prevention assemblies commonly found throughout North Carolina.
We provide certified backflow testing in Forest City and surrounding neighborhood, helping homeowners and businesses protect drinking water and meet testing requirements.

At Piedmont HVAC, Plumbing & Chimney, we follow a structured testing process designed to verify compliance and identify potential problems before they become larger issues.
After installation, testable assemblies such as RP, DCVA, PVB, DCDA, and RPDA devices must be tested by a certified backflow prevention assembly tester within 10 days. This confirms the device is working properly before it is relied on for water supply protection.
The customer or property owner is responsible for the cost of required backflow prevention installation, testing, repair, and maintenance. Forest City’s code places that responsibility on the consumer when a backflow prevention assembly is required.
A backflow test record may include the service address, owner information, assembly location, installation date, installer details, device type and size, manufacturer, model number, serial number, and test results. These records help document that the backflow assembly was tested and properly identified.
Copies of backflow testing and repair records must be provided to the Town of Forest City Water Department’s cross-connection control department within 10 business days after the work is completed.
Backflow testing usually requires a short water shutdown of about 5 to 20 minutes. If your property cannot have water service interrupted, Forest City’s code allows for a parallel backflow prevention assembly setup instead of an unprotected bypass.
Repair deadlines depend on the hazard level. Forest City lists a maximum repair time of 14 days for health hazard facilities and 21 days for non-health hazard facilities. After repair, the backflow assembly should be retested to confirm proper operation.
