Backflow Prevention in Dayton, OH

A backflow preventer is a code-required mechanical device that stops contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply. It’s required at any connection point between the public water supply and a potentially contaminating source, irrigation systems, fire suppression systems, commercial equipment connections, and many commercial facilities. Without a functioning backflow preventer, contamination events can affect not just your property but the broader water supply.

Korrect provides complete backflow services: new backflow preventer installation for residential and commercial properties, annual testing and certification with municipality documentation, repair of devices that fail testing, replacement of failed or end-of-life devices, and recertification following repair. We handle reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies, double check valve assemblies, and pressure vacuum breakers.

Ohio requires annual testing and certification of backflow prevention devices by a licensed tester. Most Dayton-area municipalities follow this standard and require documentation submission confirming the device passed testing for the current year. Korrect handles the testing, certification, and required paperwork as a complete service, you receive documentation for your records and we submit required municipality copies.

A device that fails its annual test must be repaired or replaced before it can be recertified. Korrect provides repair or replacement at the time of testing when possible, so you aren’t left with a non-compliant device that requires a return visit. Following repair or replacement, a post-service test confirms the device is functioning correctly and the recertification documentation is updated.

Yes. Any irrigation system connected to the municipal water supply requires a backflow preventer, specifically a pressure vacuum breaker or reduced pressure zone assembly depending on the irrigation system's hazard classification. This is a code requirement in Ohio and most Dayton-area municipalities. If your irrigation system was installed without a backflow preventer, Korrect can assess the connection and install the appropriate device.

Korrect installs all major backflow preventer types: reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies for high-hazard commercial connections, double check valve assemblies for lower-hazard applications, pressure vacuum breakers for irrigation systems, and dual check valve devices for residential connections. Device selection is based on the hazard classification of the connection and local code requirements.
