Backflow Testing
Certified & Reliable Annual Testing by Valhalla Plumbing
At Valhalla Plumbing, we’re proud to offer licensed backflow prevention testing throughout Charlotte County, including Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, and surrounding areas. Backflow testing is required annually by Florida law to protect your drinking water from contamination—and we make it fast, easy, and affordable.
What Is Backflow Testing?
Backflow happens when the normal flow of water reverses due to changes in pressure—pulling dirty or contaminated water into your clean drinking supply. This can occur from irrigation systems, hose attachments, or cross-connections with non-potable water sources.
To prevent this, backflow prevention devices are installed at key points in plumbing systems. These devices must be inspected and tested annually to ensure they’re functioning correctly and preventing contamination.
Valhalla Plumbing is certified to:
Inspect and test backflow devices using certified equipment
Submit official reports directly to Charlotte County Utilities
Replace or repair failed devices to restore compliance
Guide you through compliance requirements if you’re unsure of your setup
