Backflow prevention is one of those plumbing services that most property owners don’t think about — until their local water authority sends a notice, or worse, until contaminated water enters the potable supply. Barnett Plumbing provides backflow preventer installation, testing, and certification services for commercial and residential properties throughout Marietta and North Atlanta.

What Is Backflow?

Your plumbing system is designed to move water in one direction: from the public water supply into your building. Backflow occurs when a pressure reversal causes water to flow backward — potentially pulling contaminated water from irrigation systems, industrial processes, or fire suppression lines back into the clean water supply.

There are two types of backflow:

  • Back-pressure backflow — occurs when downstream pressure exceeds the supply pressure
  • Back-siphonage — occurs when supply pressure drops (due to water main breaks, firefighting demand, etc.) and creates a siphoning effect

Both can introduce contaminants into the water supply, which is why backflow prevention is required by Georgia law for many commercial and irrigation connections.

Who Needs a Backflow Preventer

Georgia law requires backflow prevention devices on:

  • All commercial and irrigation water connections
  • Medical and dental facilities
  • Car washes and restaurants
  • Multi-family residential buildings
  • Industrial facilities with process water connections
  • Any property with a fire suppression system connected to the water supply
  • Residential properties with in-ground irrigation systems

Our Backflow Prevention Services

Installation. We install the appropriate type of backflow preventer for your application — including reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies, double check valve assemblies, and pressure vacuum breakers.

Annual Testing & Certification. Most jurisdictions require backflow preventers to be tested annually by a certified tester and documentation submitted to the water authority. Our licensed backflow testers perform the inspection and submit required reports on your behalf.

Repair & Replacement. When a backflow device fails its test or begins leaking, we repair or replace the assembly and retest to confirm compliance.

Don’t let a missed annual test result in a notice of violation from your water authority. Barnett Plumbing serves Marietta, Kennesaw, Marietta, Sandy Springs, and surrounding communities. Call (678) 437-1234 to schedule backflow testing or installation.
