Backflow Installation in Salt Lake City
Professional Backflow Assembly Setup Throughout Salt Lake County
Installing a backflow prevention device is a necessary step when adding an irrigation system, connecting to secondary water sources, or making plumbing changes that pose a risk of cross-contamination. This device serves as a physical barrier, preventing water from irrigation lines or non-potable sources from flowing backward into your clean drinking water supply. Correct placement and setup are essential, as a device installed improperly will fail to protect your home and likely not meet municipal inspection standards.

Proper Positioning for Irrigation Backflow Preventers
Placing a backflow device involves more than just finding an open spot in the yard; it requires precise positioning to meet Salt Lake City safety codes and the laws of physics.
These assemblies must sit at a specific height relative to your irrigation lines to work correctly and require sufficient clearance so they can be easily reached for mandatory annual testing. Furthermore, because these devices include relief valves that discharge water, they must be situated where drainage is available and where the internal components are shielded from the damaging freeze-thaw cycles standard in the Salt Lake Valley.
To keep the assembly from sagging as the ground settles over time, our team mounts each device on sturdy, stable supports. We also integrate drainage paths to prevent discharged water from pooling and position the unit for easy access during annual inspections. Following manufacturer specifications and regional codes for valves and test cocks allows us to provide a setup that stays functional and accessible throughout its lifespan.
