Direct answer
What is backflow certification?
Backflow certification is the annual test and compliance filing that Florida law requires for most backflow assemblies, to keep contaminated water from flowing back into the public supply. Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow runs the test, processes results same-day, and files the compliance paperwork across Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, St. Lucie, and Miami-Dade counties — with upfront pricing and licensed since 1992 (CFC1426338). We have completed 100,000+ backflow tests since then.

Why it matters
Why does backflow certification matter?
A backflow assembly is the barrier that keeps contaminated water from being pulled back into the clean supply. Florida law requires it tested every year — and its internal parts wear, so the test is the only way to know it still holds.
- Annual certification is a legal requirement for most assemblies in Florida.
- Required on irrigation systems, pools, fire-lines, and commercial properties.
- Internal seals and springs wear over time and can stop sealing.
- Warning signs include discolored water, low pressure, or leaks at the device.

Backflow certification questions
Backflow certification questions people actually ask.
How much does backflow certification cost?
It depends on the assembly type — domestic, irrigation, fire-line, or commercial — and how many devices are on the property. Pricing is upfront before the test, financing is available, and the fee covers the test plus filing the compliance paperwork — call (561) 448-3200 for today’s pricing.
How often does a backflow assembly need to be certified?
Florida requires most backflow assemblies to be tested and certified every year to protect the public water supply. Enroll in Flamingo Annual Backflow Care and we track your due date and handle the recertification year after year.
Is backflow testing required by law in Florida?
Yes. Florida law requires annual certification of most backflow assemblies, and your water utility can issue notices or shut off service if the certification lapses. Flamingo runs the test and files the paperwork to keep you in compliance.
Who is allowed to test and certify a backflow assembly?
Only a state/county-certified licensed technician may legally test and certify a backflow assembly. Flamingo has run 100,000+ backflow tests since 1992 and filed 4,500+ certifications last year (CFC1426338, FPC17-000046).
What is a backflow preventer and why does it need testing?
A backflow preventer is an assembly that stops contaminated water from being siphoned back into the clean water supply. Its internal seals and springs wear over time, so an annual test confirms it still holds and keeps your water safe.
What happens if my backflow assembly fails the test?
If an assembly fails, we explain what failed and your repair or replacement options with upfront pricing. See backflow-replacement.html for repair and replacement; once the assembly passes, we certify it and file the paperwork the same day.
