Irrigation Backflow Services
From plants to people, your property is home to a variety of life that requires plenty of thirst-quenching refreshment. However, the water that your landscaping uses shouldn't mix with the water that comes out of the tap. Doctor Sprinkler provides irrigation Backflow services for Raleigh, Cary and surrounding NC communities.
Our professionals are Licensed Irrigation Contractors and certified by the Irrigation Association. Our testing equipment is also recertified each year.
Why I Need Backflow Certification Or Testing?
Irrigation backflow preventers allow water to travel in only one direction- out towards your landscaping, and never in towards your drinking water.
Most cities and municipalities require the backflow to be tested by a certified contractor on a regular basis. Typically you will receive a letter in the mail regarding the requirement and when it’s due.
Doctor sprinkler is an approved contractor for all local cities and municipalities. We will test your backflow and send the results to the city. In the event your backflow needs to be repaired or replaced we can do that as well.

- One of our Uniformed Licensed Professionals will conduct an initial assessment of your Backflow then turn off the water for approximately 15 minutes while they connect their test kit
- Once the test is complete we will submit the report directly to the city for you.
- If we find any issues or the Backflow does not pass, our trucks are fully equipped with replacement parts to repair your assembly and immediately retest (additional repair charges may apply)

FAQ'S
An irrigation backflow refers to the unwanted flow of water from a potentially polluted or contaminated source back into the clean water supply system. It occurs when the water pressure in the irrigation system drops, causing the reverse flow of water. This can lead to contamination of potable water, posing health risks to humans and animals.
There are several benefits to having an irrigation backflow system installed:
- Protection of potable water: An irrigation backflow system helps prevent the contamination of the clean water supply by ensuring that water flows in one direction - from the water supply to the irrigation system and not the other way around.
- Compliance with regulations: Many municipalities require the installation of backflow prevention devices to safeguard public health and comply with plumbing codes and regulations.
- Peace of mind: Knowing that your irrigation system is equipped with a backflow prevention device provides peace of mind, as it significantly reduces the risk of water contamination and potential health hazards.
To maintain the effectiveness and reliability of your backflow prevention system, it is recommended to have regular inspections and tests performed. The frequency of inspections may vary depending on local regulations and the type of backflow prevention device installed.
As a general guideline, it is advisable to inspect and test your backflow system at least once a year. However, some regions or specific circumstances may require more frequent inspections, such as twice a year or on a quarterly basis.
When it comes to inspecting and repairing your irrigation backflow system, it is crucial to hire professionals who are experienced and certified in backflow prevention. You can contact licensed plumbers or irrigation service providers who specialize in backflow prevention to ensure that your system is properly maintained and repaired if needed.
These professionals have the expertise to identify any potential issues, perform necessary tests, make repairs, and ensure that your backflow prevention system complies with local regulations.
