Backflow Prevention & Testing

Why Backflow Prevention Matters

Backflow prevention and testing are essential to water safety. When a backflow problem occurs, it can cause a reverse flow in your plumbing system — allowing contaminated water to enter your clean water lines. This is a serious health hazard that affects both residential and commercial properties, and it requires certified inspection to prevent.

Municipal water systems rely on properly functioning backflow prevention devices to keep the public water supply safe. Property owners are responsible for ensuring their devices are tested and maintained on schedule. Putman & Sons Plumbing provides state-certified backflow inspection to help you meet that obligation.

Our Testing Process

Putman & Sons performs thorough backflow device testing using calibrated equipment and following all state-mandated procedures. Our state-certified backflow inspectors test your devices, document the results, and submit all required reports to the appropriate city on your behalf. You receive a copy of every report for your records.

If any issues are found during testing, our team handles necessary repairs on-site at the time of inspection — eliminating the need for a second service call. We carry the parts and have the expertise to address most backflow device repairs immediately, getting your system back into compliance without delay.

We provide backflow prevention testing and repair services for both residential and commercial properties throughout Metro Detroit. Whether you are a homeowner who received a testing notice from your city, or a facility manager responsible for multiple devices across a commercial property, Putman & Sons has the certification and capacity to serve you.
