Cat 5 Plumbing Services offers installation, testing, and maintenance of any backflow preventer with 24/7 emergency after-hours response on all residential and commercial properties. The State of Florida requires any business to install and test a backflow preventer on any potable water line where water service is provided through a municipality or governing body. Testing and inspection is required every year.

Backflow preventers have now moved into residential areas. The type will depend on governing officials in your jurisdiction. If you are not sure if you need a backflow preventer, contact your local water department or cross connection department and ask for their backflow requirements. Some FL counties now require a backflow preventer on residential main potable water lines suppling your home. Cat 5 Plumbing Service is licensed in the State of Florida to install and maintain your device. Our certified technician provides annual testing and inspections to satisfy state / local governing requirements.

Cat 5 Plumbing Services will submit all testing reports and required documentation to your local governing officials on your behalf to keep your service from being interrupted.

Prices vary greatly depending on the size of your water line and the condition of the property to install it. We offer free estimates on any backflow preventer. All installations include testing and submission to your local water department.

Installations start at $375.00 for residential pressure vacuum breaker backflows and testing starts at $85.00. Any repair or replacement will require a team member site visit for cost determination. All new backflow preventer installations include initial testing and document submission to local governing officials.

We do not offer any backflow service on fire suppression or fire water lines.
