California requires annual testing of backflow prevention devices for residential irrigation systems and all commercial water system connections. These devices protect the municipal water supply from potential contamination and must be confirmed annually to be functioning correctly. American Home Repair Services provides certified backflow testing for Encino residential and commercial properties. A backflow preventer is a mechanical device installed on a water system connection that allows flow in only one direction. When supply pressure drops, the preventer's internal valves close to prevent water from the private system from flowing back into the municipal supply. These valves wear mechanically and require annual testing to confirm they seal under the test pressure required. The annual test result must be submitted to the water authority responsible for the municipal supply in Encino, which is LADWP for most of the service area. American Home Repair Services' certified testers complete the test, document the results on the required forms, and submit the reports to the appropriate authority.

Failed backflow devices are replaced with devices appropriate for the specific application. The type of backflow preventer required depends on the potential contamination hazard of the connected use. Residential irrigation connections typically require a reduced pressure zone device or a double check valve assembly depending on the irrigation system's components.
