BACKFLOW TESTING & PREVENTION
Protect Your Water Supply. Stay Compliant.
Commercial properties throughout Northwest Indiana are required to have backflow
prevention devices tested annually by a certified tester. Backflow prevention
protects the public water supply from contamination caused by back-siphonage or
back-pressure — making it both a safety requirement and a regulatory obligation.
Downing Plumbing provides certified backflow preventer testing for businesses,
industrial facilities, irrigation systems, and fire suppression systems across
Lake, Porter, and LaPorte County. We handle all required documentation and submit
test reports to the appropriate water authority on your behalf.
If your backflow preventer fails testing or needs replacement, we can repair or
install new devices — including reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies and double
check valve assemblies — to bring your property back into compliance quickly.
Don't wait for a notice of violation from your water utility.
