Why Backflow Testing is Mandatory in Maryland

Backflow occurs when a drop in water main pressure causes contaminated water to flow backward into your clean supply. To prevent this health risk, Maryland state law requires annual testing of all backflow prevention assemblies by certified technicians.

Annual Certification

Property owners must submit proof of certification every 12 months to the local water authority to maintain standards.

Licensed Inspectors

Only plumbers with ASSE certification are authorized to certify these critical safety devices in MD.
