Backflow Testing Services for Dayton Properties and Businesses
Your water supply needs protection from contamination. Backflow preventers serve as the barrier between clean drinking water and potential contaminants. These devices stop water from flowing backward into your clean water supply. Without them, contaminated water from irrigation systems, fire suppression equipment, industrial processes, or commercial operations could enter the drinking water system.
Annual Backflow Testing
Backflow testing protects your drinking water from contamination. Water normally flows one direction through your pipes. Backflow happens when pressure changes cause water to flow backward. A pressure drop in the main water line, increased pressure from connected systems, or back-siphonage conditions create backflow risk.
Learn MoreBackflow Preventer Installation
New construction, irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, and certain commercial equipment require backflow preventers. Ohio plumbing code specifies when backflow prevention is mandatory. Local water authorities enforce these requirements through connection permits and inspections.
Learn MoreBackflow Preventer Repair
A backflow preventer that fails testing needs repair. The device stops protecting your water supply when components fail. Operating a system with a failed backflow preventer violates code requirements and risks water contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions About Backflow Testing & Certification in Dayton
Is Haven certified for backflow testing in Ohio?
Yes. Our plumbers hold Ohio backflow tester certification. We file all required paperwork with Dayton water authorities and maintain current certification through ongoing training.
Do you offer same-day backflow testing?
We do in many cases. Call before noon, and we can often send someone the same day. Most testing finishes within an hour depending on device type and quantity.
What areas of Dayton do you serve?
We serve Dayton and surrounding communities in the Miami Valley. Check your ZIP code when you book online, or ask when you call. We'll let you know if we cover your area.
How often does backflow testing need to be done?
Most backflow preventers need annual testing. Dayton water authorities require yearly certification for properties with backflow devices. Some commercial and industrial properties need more frequent testing depending on water use and hazard levels. We send reminders when your next test is due.
What happens if my backflow preventer fails testing?
We repair or replace failed components and retest the device. Once it passes, we file the certification paperwork. You cannot operate certain systems until the backflow preventer passes testing and gets certified. We explain what failed and what repairs will fix the problem.
Who needs backflow testing?
Properties with irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, commercial kitchens, chemical feed systems, medical facilities, car washes, and industrial equipment typically need backflow preventers and annual testing. Dayton water authorities notify property owners when testing is required. Any property with equipment that could contaminate the water supply needs backflow prevention.
How do I know what type of backflow preventer I need?
The required device type depends on the hazard level and system type. High-hazard situations require reduced pressure zone assemblies. Medium-hazard commercial applications use double check valve assemblies. Irrigation systems typically use pressure vacuum breakers. We evaluate your specific situation and recommend the appropriate device based on code requirements and water authority specifications.
What if I miss my annual testing deadline?
Properties that miss testing deadlines risk water service disconnection. Water authorities enforce testing requirements through compliance notices and potential service interruption. We send reminders before deadlines and can often accommodate urgent testing needs to prevent service issues.

Today I had problem in my bathroom,.They looked very well and explained to me very clear. I love that he talk with respect and you can see he have knowledge. They will coming back to changed my shower handle.
Al and Tony were very efficent and informative about what had caused the leak. They came in and quickly determined what the issue was and how to fix it. After they had fixed the leak they cleaned everything up! They were wonderful and I would recommend them 100%.
The technician, Bobby and Jeff were polite and considerate. Came in surveyed the trouble area, made an assessment, repaired the supply line to the toilet and replaced the toilet valve. No leaks detected.
Jonny was quick, efficient and kind. He came to my home within an hour and fixed my issue within 15 min on Christmas Eve for an affordable price.
They are professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They fixed my 🚿 shower pipe that was disconnected from the main unit in less than hour. I'll definitely use them for many more plumbing issues. The price was super reasonable and the plumbers were super friendly. 👍👍👍
Had a water leak I thought was from upstairs bath tub vs roof leak. Dan did not rush, was at my home for 2 hours trying to find leak but no leaking pipes found. Also had toilet tank seal and flushing device replaced.
We’ve used them several times and each time they were able to come the same day, had profession and friendly employees, and were a good value!
Piotr was able to identify the issue with our sewage system and explain what needed to be done. The quoting process was easy, we were able to accept and fund online. Piotr and his friendly crew took care of all the permits and inspections needed. As the work was being done, he explained what they needed to do and why. We now have a properly working, updated sewage system which was done quickly, professionally and cleanly.
Prompt reply, Quick to get service for new garbage disposal installation. , Polite and knowledgeable service man with the product I needed on hand. And he left his workplace clean. Highly recommended!!
Tony was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and extremely trustworthy, thoroughly explained the issue, the root cause of the issue and then offered us our options and his opinion on what we should do based on his experiences in the business for over 30 years. We completely felt comfortable and very appreciative of his opinion and we knew that it would be done correctly. While he was there to take care of the issue we scheduled him for, he noticed a very serious issue with how the gas line was installed by another contractor. He provided us with a written estimate of what needed to be corrected and we are scheduling it to be done as well!
Plumbers were great, did a bang-up job, answered all my questions, and were truly pleasant gentlemen.
The initial call was to unclog the drain located in the laundry room, however, the cable would not clear 75' out. However, Mike did everything he could and stayed even though we were having a thunderstorm and the power went out. So, he installed a new sump pump in the sump crock in basement. Mike is very professional, helpful, and friendly. He explained everything that needed to be done and answered all my questions.
Kyle and Jack provided truly outstanding service installing the water line for my new LG refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. The job presented some complexity, but they professionally "figured it out" and got the line perfectly installed. I was particularly impressed with how neat and meticulous they were throughout the process. The final result looks great, and everything is working nicely. Highly recommend these two for any tricky installation!
Great work by a super professional at a fair price. Have used them multiple times and am never disappointed. Highly recommend.
They showed up when they said they were going to show up did the work as expected and no surprises on the bill. Great competent employee.
Had a water line extended and an outdoor spigot attached. The extension was literally 5 feet. Job took only an hour. Paid 572 dollars with a senior discount. I thought it was a little much, but the work was well done. Plumber was great.
Overly expensive for the work done. This was a simple repair. The work was done properly. The bill was exorbitant.
Al looked at sump pump and found it to be OK but other issues were discussed. The basement set tub will need replacing and a sump pump with battery backup was recommended. He is very knowledgeable and guided us through the process for a later date.
Brandon arrived on time and solved my problems with my toilets quickly. I am very pleased with the service.
Awesome job. Have used them for 4 years possibly more. Professional on time and very appreciative of their services.
Always honest, with good customer service. After trying out other companies, I went back to them.
Bobby was great he took really good care of me and kept me updated all along the way. He was efficient, clean, and respectful. Took care of all of the several plumbing issues I was having.
My technician today was fast and pretty sure that the problem was the flapper in the toilet needing to be changed lets see if this is it, i believe it will help as well thank you
The service tech arrived promptly and went right to work. Peter was his name and he did an awesome job, repaired everything I needed done plus an extra request. Would recommend this company and Peter to anyone needing plumbing services.
The experience I had with this company was not. My toilets kept flushing and the plumbing technician said, “he knew exactly what the problem is changed out all the filters in my toilet tanks but this wasn’t the problem.” He said, “the work has a warranty for a year.” The problem was not solved therefore I contacted the office again to explained the problem wasn’t solved. I told the same person Blake plumbing technician will be out to Resolve the issue and exactly what problem is but failed to correct it the first time. Now they’re telling me I would need to pay the same price twice in order to correct the problem with the Continuously Flushing. I contacted the office and Claire tells me she would need to inform the owner regarding how much I should pay. She did contacted me back to resolve the toilet tank installation but tells me that flushing mechanism needs to be changed out. The company doesn’t care about their customers just money.
Easily the best experience I’ve had with a plumbing company. Johnny show up early (they let us know who was coming and when), fixed the issue and left everything in better condition than when they showed up. Johnny was very professional and communicated very well! Reasonable pricing as well!
