Backflow Testing and Certification
In many parts of Tennessee, including Knoxville, homeowners are required to have their backflow preventer tested annually by a certified professional. These tests are not just about compliance—they are vital for confirming that your device is functioning correctly.
Mr. Rooter Plumbing offers certified backflow testing and will provide documentation to meet your municipality’s requirements. During testing, we will:
- Inspect all components of your backflow device
- Measure pressure levels

- Submit required reports to local water authorities
If we detect any issues, we’ll walk you through your repair or replacement options so you can make informed decisions.

Time for a Replacement? We’ve Got You Covered.
Backflow preventers, like all plumbing components, have a limited lifespan. If your unit is outdated, corroded, or no longer meets local standards, we’ll help you choose a suitable replacement. Our plumbers ensure a seamless transition with minimal disruption to your home’s water supply.
We’ll also verify that the new installation passes required tests and submit documentation to your water utility for compliance purposes.
