Clean Water Guaranteed
At Jordan Air, we understand that safe, clean water is essential for every home and business in Athens, GA. Backflow events can contaminate potable water, pose health risks, and lead to regulatory problems for commercial properties. Our team brings decades of experience in plumbing and full-service water systems to backflow testing and prevention.
Whether you own a single-family home, a multifamily property, or a commercial facility, Jordan Air is here to ensure your water supply stays protected, code-compliant, and reliable.
Why Backflow Testing Matters
Backflow occurs when water flows in the reverse direction from its intended path, allowing contaminants to enter the clean water supply. This can happen due to changes in pressure or flow conditions in the plumbing system. Without proper control and regular testing, backflow can compromise water safety for occupants, risk public health, and even result in violations of local water regulations.
At Jordan Air, we view backflow testing not as an optional service but as a vital safeguard. By routinely examining backflow prevention devices and making sure they operate correctly, we help prevent contamination before it becomes a problem. Testing is especially important after unusual water events, plumbing changes, or periods of disuse. Whether for a residential household or a commercial facility, proper backflow testing helps preserve water quality and peace of mind.
Our Backflow Testing Process
Our backflow testing service begins with a careful evaluation of your plumbing layout, the existing backflow prevention device or devices, and your property’s water usage. From there, we follow a systematic, transparent process to verify that everything is functioning as required.
Here’s a look at our backflow testing process:
- We inspect the existing prevention device to ensure it is correctly installed, rated for your water system, and compliant with local codes.
- We connect testing equipment and measure pressure differences, flow direction, and sealing integrity to ensure the device prevents any reverse flow.
- We operate inlet and outlet valves under real-world conditions to simulate potential backflow scenarios and confirm the device responds properly.
- We document all readings, observations, and test outcomes in a clear report that you receive when testing is complete.
- If the device fails to meet performance standards, we alert you immediately and make recommendations for repair or replacement.
By combining careful inspection, precise testing, and detailed documentation, our process helps ensure your backflow preventer is doing its job and that your water remains safe.
Backflow Preventer Installation for New or Upgraded Systems
Installing a reliable backflow prevention device is essential when building a new home, renovating plumbing systems, or preparing a commercial facility for occupancy. At Jordan Air, we handle backflow preventer installation for both residential and commercial clients, making sure you have the right device in the right place for your water system’s demands.
When we install a backflow preventer, we follow strict procedures to deliver long-lasting, effective protection:
- We assess the property’s water supply layout, pressure levels, and potential contamination risk to determine the best type of backflow prevention device.
- We select high-quality, code-compliant backflow preventers designed for residential or commercial use, based on needs and requirements.
- We install the device in a location that is accessible for inspection, testing, and maintenance, while also protected from freezing, flooding, or physical damage.
- We connect the device securely to your existing plumbing system, test the installation for proper sealing and operation, and calibrate it according to manufacturer and local code specifications.
- We provide documentation confirming installation, device model, and compliance status for your records, insurance providers, or local water authority.
With a properly selected and professionally installed backflow preventer, you reduce the risk of contamination, meet regulatory requirements, and protect all water users on your property.
Reliable Backflow Preventer Repair
Even a well-installed backflow preventer can wear over time due to mechanical stress, mineral buildup, pressure fluctuations, or exposure to environmental conditions. When sealing surfaces degrade, valves become sticky, or seals fail, the device may no longer prevent reverse flow effectively.
At Jordan Air, we offer thorough backflow preventer repair in Athens. Our licensed plumbers carefully examine all components, including internal valves, seals, springs, housings, and connection points. We clean or replace worn parts, recalibrate pressure settings, and test the unit under simulated flow conditions to verify restored function. After repair, we perform a full backflow test to confirm the device is operating at the required standards. We then provide a detailed service report so you know precisely what was done, and we offer recommendations for future monitoring or maintenance.
Repair often extends the life of an existing device and can be more cost-effective than full replacement, while restoring the essential protection backflow preventers provide.
Backflow Preventer Replacement
In some cases, a backflow preventer repair may not be sufficient. If a backflow preventer is outdated, repeatedly failing inspections, significantly corroded, or incompatible with updated plumbing or water pressure conditions, replacement may be the most secure choice.
When you choose backflow preventer replacement in Athens with Jordan Air, we manage the entire process from start to finish. We evaluate your current water supply conditions, select an appropriate, code-compliant replacement device, and remove the old unit safely. Then we install and connect the new backflow preventer, test its operation thoroughly, and calibrate it to match local water pressure standards. After installation, we perform full backflow testing and provide official documentation confirming compliance and device performance. This ensures your system meets local regulatory requirements, restores reliable protection for your water supply, and reduces the risk of future failures.
Replacing an aging or faulty backflow preventer is often the most reliable way to guarantee long-term water safety, especially for commercial properties or high-usage systems.
