216-677-2707Annual Backflow Testing & Certification in University 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. Call On Our Way Plumbing at 216-677-2707 for backflow testing in University Heights and Greater Cleveland, with free quotes.
Why University Heights Residents Choose On Our Way Plumbing
University Heights gets its name and much of its identity from John Carroll University, the Jesuit institution that has anchored this east side community since 1935 when it relocated from the west side of Cleveland. The campus's Gothic architecture and manicured grounds set the tone for a city of about 13,000 residents who value education, community, and well-kept neighborhoods. The Cedar Road corridor and Warrensville Center Road intersection form the city's commercial heart, while the tree-lined streets off Silsby Road and Fenwick Road are home to a mix of long-time residents, young families, and rental properties popular with students and faculty — properties where plumbing issues need to be handled quickly to keep tenants happy.
On Our Way Plumbing is a go-to resource for University Heights homeowners, landlords, and property managers. We specialize in rental unit plumbing repairs — running toilets, dripping faucets, water heater replacements — for the quick turnovers that landlords need. We also handle full home service, water heater installations, drain cleaning, sewer line repair, and same-day repairs for urgent problems. Our experienced plumbers understand the plumbing quirks of the older housing stock that defines this community.

Annual Backflow Testing & Certification in University 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.
