Backflow prevention
in Little Rock, AR

You're installing a new irrigation system. This is the most common reason homeowners need backflow preventers. The city won't approve your irrigation system without one.

The city sent you a notice requiring installation or testing. Little Rock periodically surveys properties and sends notices to property owners who need backflow prevention devices or whose devices need testing.

You're opening or already run a business that uses water for processes. If your business uses water in any way other than basic drinking, cooking, and sanitation, you probably need backflow prevention. Restaurants, medical offices, car washes, beauty salons, and industrial facilities all typically require it.

You have a pool or hot tub with an auto-fill system. Automatic fill systems can create cross-connections and typically require prevention devices under plumbing code.

You're adding a fire sprinkler system. Fire protection systems need backflow prevention because the water sits in pipes and can become stagnant.

Your property has connections to wells, ponds, or other non-potable water sources. Any time your plumbing connects to water that isn't from the city's clean supply, you need backflow prevention.

You're doing commercial or multi-family construction. New commercial buildings and apartment complexes require backflow prevention as part of the plumbing plan.

Backflow prevention protects public health. Contaminated water flowing back into the city's water supply affects everyone connected to that system. Your backflow preventer keeps your water on your property where it belongs.

It keeps you in compliance with city regulations. Having a properly installed and tested backflow prevention device means you meet Little Rock's requirements. You won't get notices from the city or risk having your water shut off.

Prevention protects your own water quality. While backflow preventers mainly protect the public water supply, they also stop contaminated water from flowing back into your house if pressure changes happen on your property.

You avoid penalties and service disruption. Property owners who don't comply with backflow prevention requirements risk having their water service discontinued after repeated warnings. Annual testing keeps you compliant and avoids those consequences.

Proper backflow prevention maintains your water service. If you don't meet requirements, your water provider can shut off your water until you install a device or get testing done. Nobody wants to deal with that.

It protects your business operations. For commercial properties, compliance with backflow regulations is part of operating legally. Health inspections and business licenses often require documentation of backflow prevention.
