Backflow Prevention Devices
Backflow prevention shouldn’t be a blind spot.
Backflow testing should be simple, but for multi-site facility managers, it often turns into a patchwork of reminders, inspections, and missing reports.
Addilan Group brings order to the chaos.
Addilan Group manages every fire sprinkler backflow preventer in your system with complete clarity. From inspections to documentation, we keep your devices in check and your records clean.
What is Backflow Prevention?
A fire protection backflow preventer is a device that stops water from reversing direction and contaminating your clean water supply. It may sound basic, but it’s critical for health and safety.
Sprinkler systems pull water from the same lines that serve the rest of your building. If there’s a sudden drop in pressure (say, a hydrant gets opened nearby), stagnant or chemically treated water sitting in the fire lines could flow backward, straight into the drinking water.
Every commercial fire protection system should have backflow prevention. That device needs to be tested, documented, and maintained regularly. It’s not just best practice. It’s required by most municipalities, and it’s something your AHJ is likely to ask about.
According to the EPA, backflow incidents have been known to cause contamination involving everything from fertilizers to human waste. In one survey of water utilities, 51% of backflow incidents originated from commercial buildings.
We Don’t Just Test Devices. We Build Confidence.
You shouldn’t have to chase vendors. Or wonder if your inspection reports are up to date. Or lose sleep before an unannounced visit from the fire marshal.
With Addilan Group, you won’t.
We manage your backflow program across your entire portfolio, all while maintaining constant communication with your team and ensuring your buildings are protected. We test and document each fire water backflow preventer to make sure it’s working the way it should, then provide clear reporting and real-time status updates.

Protect Your Portfolio
You’re doing everything to keep your buildings running safely. Backflow issues shouldn’t be the thing that throws it all off.
Industry Insight: Backflow prevention testing is required annually by most jurisdictions, but a 2020 study found that over 18,000 Community Water Systems (CWSs) had at least one Safe Drinking Water Act violation. That’s a liability you don’t want on your record.
