216-677-2707Annual Backflow Testing & Certification in Lakewood, 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. Call On Our Way Plumbing at 216-677-2707 for backflow testing in Lakewood and Greater Cleveland, with free quotes.

Lakewood holds the distinction of being the most densely populated city in Ohio, packing roughly 50,000 residents into just over five square miles along the Lake Erie shoreline.

On Our Way Plumbing has the experience with old plumbing systems that Lakewood homes demand.

Annual Backflow Testing & Certification in Lakewood — 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.
