Annual Backflow Testing & Certification in Cleveland Heights, OH
Got a backflow test notice? Certified testing with results filed for you.

Ohio requires backflow prevention assemblies protecting the public water supply to be tested at least once a year by a certified backflow tester, with results reported to the water purveyor — for many local properties, Cleveland Water or your city's water department. If you have received a testing notice for your irrigation system, fire sprinkler line, boiler feed, or commercial building, On Our Way Plumbing can take care of it.
We test reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies, double check valve assemblies, and pressure vacuum breakers using a calibrated differential pressure test kit and the standard field test procedure for each device. For an RPZ, that means verifying the relief valve opens at the correct differential and both check valves hold tight; for a double check, verifying each check holds. We record the readings, file the results with your water purveyor in the format they require, and give you a copy for your records.
If a device fails, we explain why and quote the repair on the spot — many failures are fixed by rebuilding the checks or relief valve the same visit, followed by a retest. Property managers can schedule multiple sites together so nothing slips past a deadline.

Why Cleveland Heights Residents Choose On Our Way Plumbing
Cleveland Heights is one of Greater Cleveland's most culturally vibrant communities, a city of nearly 45,000 residents known for its stunning collection of early 20th-century architecture, including grand Tudor revivals, arts-and-crafts bungalows, and stately colonials designed by some of northeast Ohio's most celebrated architects. The city's commercial districts each have their own personality: Coventry Village draws an eclectic, bohemian crowd; Cedar-Fairmount offers boutique shopping and fine dining; and the Cedar-Lee District is home to beloved independent cinema and local eateries. Cain Park, the city's outdoor amphitheater and arts festival venue, has been a cultural landmark since the 1930s. These beautiful homes come with old plumbing — original galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, and 40+ year old boilers and water heaters — that increasingly need professional attention.
On Our Way Plumbing specializes in plumbing for the older, character-rich homes that define Cleveland Heights. Our experienced plumbers are skilled at repiping century homes from failing galvanized to modern PEX or copper, replacing cast iron drain sections without wrecking historic tile floors, servicing steam and hydronic boilers, and navigating narrow basement mechanical rooms and finished third-floor bathrooms. We also handle landlord plumbing for the many multi-unit buildings throughout the city.
Keep your Cleveland Heights home's plumbing as reliable as it is beautiful. Call On Our Way Plumbing at 216-677-2707 for a free estimate and same-day licensed service.

Annual Backflow Testing & Certification in Cleveland Heights — FAQ
Backflow assemblies have springs, seals, and check valves that wear out. Ohio rules and your water purveyor require an annual test by a certified tester to confirm the device still protects the public water supply.
A typical test takes well under an hour per device. Water to the protected line is briefly shut off during the test, so we schedule it at a time that works for your building.
Water purveyors can issue violation notices and, in some cases, discontinue service to the protected connection until the device is tested. Call us as soon as you receive a notice and we will get it scheduled.
