Cross-Connection Survey in East Smithfield, PA

A cross-connection survey is a walk through your property looking for places where potable water piping meets something it should not: a hose left in a mop sink, a boiler fill line, a chemical feeder, a pond fill, a irrigation zone with fertilizer injection.

Each point gets classified by hazard. High hazard, meaning anything that could make someone sick, typically calls for an RPZ or an air gap. Low hazard, meaning pollutants that affect taste or color, can usually take a double check.

Water utilities order surveys for new commercial accounts, change of use and some renewals. Owners also ask for them before a purchase or a remodel, so they know what devices they will be required to install.

The result is a written list of each cross-connection, its hazard level and the device or fix it needs.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects East Smithfield, PA property owners with surveyors who know local backflow prevention rules and can follow up with installation and backflow testing. Call (833) 990-5874.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Cross-Connection Survey in East Smithfield, PA.

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in East Smithfield, PA?
Most water utilities require a test once a year. Many also require one at installation, after any repair and after the device is moved. Your utility's notice letter gives the exact due date.
Who is allowed to test my backflow device?
A tester who holds a backflow tester certification recognized by your state or your water utility. Many utilities keep an approved tester list and reject reports signed by anyone not on it.
What happens if I miss the backflow test deadline?
Utilities usually send a second notice, and after that some add a fee or schedule a service shutoff. Calling (833) 990-5874 before the deadline is the simplest way to avoid it.
Can a backflow preventer freeze?
Yes. Trapped water expands and can crack the bronze body or blow out the bonnet. Insulated enclosures, heat cable or draining the device for winter prevent it.
Can a backflow preventer be repaired instead of replaced?
Often it can. Rebuild kits with new discs, springs and seals are sold for most brands. Replacement makes more sense when the body is cracked or parts are no longer made.
