Midseason Check Ups & Backflow Test by TradeWind Irrigation

Why Is Backflow Testing Required for Sprinkler Systems?
Regulatory standards call for irrigation backflow testing because lawn water flowing the wrong way can carry contaminants into the drinking supply. Everyone who shares that supply benefits when each backflow device works as it should. Reasons the test matters include:
- Keeping contaminants from the lawn out of the water your household drinks.
- Protecting neighbors who draw from the same community supply.
- Showing that your system meets the regulatory standards that apply to it.
What Does a Backflow Test Cover?
Pairing irrigation backflow testing with the midseason visit keeps every check on one schedule. Same-day sprinkler system inspection of heads, valves, and pipes means one trip covers both jobs. Results are explained before we leave, including whether the device passed. Fixes for a device that fails the test come through our sprinkler system maintenance service. Cold snaps in spring can still harm the device, so our videos show how to shut off the water and drain the 825Y and 765 models. Following those steps lowers the risk but cannot remove it. Draining the device before winter is part of the fall blow-out we handle as a lawn irrigation company.
Protect Your Drinking Water This Season
Now is a good time to book irrigation backflow testing, since the midseason check-up can happen on the same trip. Schooling for our Bristol, CT, technicians runs two years before they become state licensed. Deciding is easier when you can get a quote for the test at no charge. Mentioning when your last test took place helps us plan the visit. By phone or through the contact form, schedule a backflow test consultation to protect your drinking water this season.
