Backflow Testing
in Culver City
Backflow Prevention for the West Los Angeles Area
Backflow occurs when water flows in the wrong direction, allowing contaminants to enter your clean water supply. This can occur when pressure drops in the main line, during nearby construction, or when irrigation systems and household plumbing interact unexpectedly. If your property has certain plumbing features, you may be required to complete regular backflow testing.
If you own a home, rental, or multifamily property connected to the Los Angeles County Waterworks District system, you’re required to have annual testing. More importantly, you need it to keep contaminants from entering your drinking water. When you choose Ford's Plumbing & Heating, the process is quick, accurate, and handled by professionals who respect your time and property.

Why You Need Regular Backflow Testing
Backflow testing is a controlled process that must be completed by a certified professional using approved equipment. During the test, your water may be temporarily shut off, so scheduling at a convenient time is helpful.
Our certified team at Ford's Plumbing & Heating tests each backflow prevention device to confirm it’s functioning properly and keeping your water safe. During testing, we follow all local safety standards to prevent contamination and minimize downtime in your home.
Here’s how we test your system:
- Close and isolate the device’s relevant valves
- Monitor pressure gauges and check for proper response
- Inspect for leaks or irregular movement
- Test air ports and relief valves for proper function
- Record all readings and results for your compliance report
Testing usually takes less than an hour, and your water supply is restored promptly. With regular inspections, you can avoid hefty fines, unexpected shutdowns, and costly repairs later.

Understanding Local Requirements and Prevention
Backflow testing in Culver City is governed by Title 17 of the California Administrative Code. Depending on your plumbing system, this may require annual testing and proper documentation.

Key requirements tied to backflow testing include:
- Approved backflow prevention assemblies
- Annual testing when required
- Proper planning for new water system connections
- Certified professionals performing and reporting tests
Beyond compliance, prevention helps protect your water supply in the long term. Keeping plumbing components in good condition and addressing issues early can reduce the risk of backflow.
