Backflow Prevention & Testing
Protect your drinking water. Certified backflow install, test, and repair.

Backflow preventers keep contaminated water from irrigation systems, boilers, fire suppression, and commercial connections from reversing into your clean drinking water supply. Most municipalities in Greater Cleveland require certified backflow preventers on specific connections — and annual certified testing to confirm they're working. On Our Way Plumbing has certified backflow prevention technicians on staff for installation, testing, and repair throughout Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.
We install RPZ (reduced pressure zone), DCV (double check valve), and PVB (pressure vacuum breaker) devices sized for the connection they're protecting. Our certified testers perform the annual test required by most Cleveland-area water utilities and submit the paperwork on your behalf. If a device fails testing, we can usually repair or replace it same-visit.
Call On Our Way Plumbing at 216-677-2707 for backflow installation, testing, or repair in Cleveland. Certified, permitted, and paperwork handled.

Backflow Prevention FAQ
Common questions about our backflow prevention service.
If you have an irrigation system, boiler, commercial connection, fire suppression system, or in some cases a pool or spa, most municipalities require it. Your water utility will notify you if you need one — call us if you're unsure.
Most Cleveland-area municipalities require annual certified testing. Some commercial connections require semi-annual. The utility will send you a notice when testing is due.
It needs to be repaired or replaced. Simple relief valve or check valve rebuilds can often be done in place. Severely failed devices need full replacement. We handle both.
