ABOUT THIS SERVICE

BACKFLOW PREVENTER INSTALLATION & TESTING
FROM UTAH'S LOCAL EXPERTS

When a backflow event happens, non-potable water — from sprinkler lines, boilers, or commercial equipment — reverses into the clean water supply. A properly installed and annually tested backflow preventer is the only barrier stopping that. Utah requires annual testing on commercial and sprinkler backflow devices. Failing that test means shutting down service until the device is repaired or replaced.

Every job starts with an assessment of your system type — reduced pressure zone (RPZ), double check valve (DCVA), or pressure vacuum breaker (PVB). New install is flat-rated at $2,850. Annual testing fees are quoted separately. If a device fails testing, a licensed tech explains your repair or replacement options before touching anything — no surprise add-ons.

Service covers all of Salt Lake County, Utah County, Davis County, Summit County, Wasatch County, and Tooele County. Same-day scheduling available on most calls. Utah state licensed and fully insured on every job.

Backflow Preventer Installation

📋
Annual Testing & Certification
Utah requires annual backflow testing on commercial and sprinkler systems. A licensed tester runs a differential pressure gauge test and records the results. The test cert goes to the water authority on your behalf. Call for current testing pricing.

🔨
Repair & Rebuild of Failed Devices
A device that fails its annual test doesn't always need full replacement. Many units can be rebuilt — new check valves, seat seals, and relief valve parts restore it to passing condition. The quote comes first, before any parts are ordered. Rebuilt units are retested on the spot to confirm they meet Utah water authority code.

🔄
Assembly Replacement
Older or badly corroded units that can't be rebuilt need full replacement. A failed RPZ or double-check valve on a sprinkler or commercial system can trigger a water service shutdown. Replacement includes removing the old unit, installing a code-compliant device, and a same-day test cert so the water authority gets updated records without delay. Pricing is quoted upfront after the failed test is on record.

🏗️
Utah Annual Testing Requirement
Utah state law and most local water utilities require commercial properties and homes with sprinkler systems to have their backflow device tested and certified every year by a licensed tester. Failing to test on schedule can trigger a water service notice from your utility — and a second failed test can mean shutoff. Ninja holds the required certifications to perform the annual test, generate the signed report, and submit it directly to Salt Lake City, Sandy, Provo, and surrounding utilities. Testing visits are fast — typically 30–45 minutes for a single device. Call after your utility sends a test notice or schedule before your annual deadline to avoid fees.

🚨
Urgent Backflow Inspection
A water authority notice, a smell of waste in the water, or a visible pressure drop can mean the device has failed between annual tests. Same-day dispatch is available across the Wasatch Front for urgent inspections. A licensed tech arrives with gauge equipment, tests the unit under current pressure, and decides on the spot whether repair, rebuild, or emergency replacement is needed — no waiting days for a service window.

DO YOU NEED BACKFLOW PREVENTER SERVICE?

SIGNS YOUR BACKFLOW PREVENTER
NEEDS ATTENTION

📅
Overdue Annual Test
Utah requires annual testing on all commercial and sprinkler backflow devices. A missed test can trigger a water authority notice and a service shutoff. Don't wait for a letter — schedule before the deadline and avoid a shutdown.
Don't ignore this
💧
Discolored or Unusual-Tasting Water
Brown, cloudy, or chemical-smelling water from a tap on an sprinkler or commercial line is a red flag. A backflow event may have already sent waste into the water. Left alone, polluted water creates serious health risks and potential liability. Call for an urgent inspection same day.
Don't ignore this
⚠️
Device Leaking or Losing Pressure
A relief valve that drips nonstop, visible rust on the device body, or a sudden pressure drop all point to a failing unit. A compromised backflow preventer no longer protects your water supply. Annual testing catches these problems early. Waiting until full failure usually means replacement, not repair.
Don't ignore this

COMMON QUESTIONS

BACKFLOW PREVENTER INSTALLATION & TESTING
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

New install is flat-rated at $2,850. That covers the device, all labor, fittings, and a post-install function test. Annual testing fees are separate — call for current pricing. There are no hidden charges. You get the full number before any work starts.

Yes. Utah requires annual testing on all commercial and sprinkler backflow prevention devices. A licensed tester runs a differential pressure gauge test and records the pass/fail results. The test cert goes to your water authority. Missing the annual test can trigger a notice and a service shutoff until the test is on file.

A failed test means the device is no longer protecting your water supply. Many units can be rebuilt — new check valves and seat seals restore it to passing condition at a fraction of replacement cost. If the housing is badly corroded or damaged, full replacement is the safer option. Either way, you get an upfront quote before any parts are ordered. The rebuilt or replaced device is retested on the same visit.

Reduced pressure zone (RPZ), double check valve (DCVA), and pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) units are all in scope. The right device depends on your hazard level. Sprinkler systems in Salt Lake County and Utah County typically use RPZ or DCVA units per local water authority code.

Yes. Every tech who tests, installs, or certifies a backflow device is Utah state licensed and fully insured. Utah DOPL licensing covers plumbing work statewide. Backflow testing also requires a separate endorsement. You receive records of the license and test results with every service call.

Permit rules vary by city. Salt Lake County and Utah County typically require a plumbing permit for new backflow preventer installs — especially on commercial and sprinkler systems. Ninja handles the permit application and inspection scheduling so you don’t have to deal with the building department yourself.

Call or book online and request a same-day testing slot. A licensed tester arrives with gauge equipment, runs the differential pressure test, and submits the results to your water authority. Most overdue test notices allow 30 days before service shutoff. Acting quickly keeps your water on and avoids a reinstatement fee.

Both. Commercial properties in Salt Lake County, Utah County, and Davis County with sprinkler systems, boiler makeup water lines, or fire suppression connections are the most common customers. Residential sprinkler systems also need protection if they’re cross-connected to the potable water supply. Call to confirm whether your system needs a device and what testing schedule applies.

March is a great time to test before spring sprinkler systems turn on across the Wasatch Front. Testing while the system is dormant avoids an emergency call when you restart and find the device failed over the winter. Spring slots fill fast — booking now locks in your test cert before the pre-season rush.
