Backflow Prevention & Testing
Certified Backflow Prevention: Testing, Repair & Compliance
Protecting your building's water supply is not just a safety measure—it’s a legal requirement. American Fire Protection LLC provides certified testing, repair, and replacement of backflow prevention devices throughout Connecticut to ensure system integrity and full compliance with state regulations.
Why Backflow Testing is Mandatory in CT
A cross-connection between your fire protection system and the public water supply can lead to serious contamination. Per CT State Health Code (Section 19-13-B38a), backflow preventers must be tested annually to ensure they are functioning properly.
