We’ve gotten a few questions about the annual backflow preventer (aka vacuum breaker) inspections required by Shreveport/Bossier City. A backflow is the reverse flow of water in your system that could contaminate drinking water, and a backflow prevention device obviously prevents that.
If you have a sprinkler system or pool, you probably have this installed. Making sure this device works correctly helps protect you and your neighbors from contaminants.A yearly inspection is required by residents of Shreveport and Bossier City. This has to be done by a plumber or irrigation technician that has a license with the state of Louisiana. Many businesses around town offer it, but it’s important to make sure they’re licensed when choosing who to go with.
We offer this test for a $100 flat fee and will send the required paperwork to the city. We put tags on the systems we test with our information, as well as the date it was tested and when it will need to be done again. If you have any questions, let us know!
