Backflow Testing & Installation For Your Atlanta Business
ACAPX is a certified backflow testing and installation service provider servicing commercial properties. We strive to be the most efficient and affordable commercial plumber in Atlanta.
The state of Georgia, following the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, requires that backflow testing be done on every commercial building to protect the safety of everyone from contaminants such as pesticides and fertilizers.
At ACAPX, we understand that failing a building test can be costly for your business. We are also aware that backflow preventers are the root cause of inspection test failures, and we will administer periodic tests to ensure that they conform to all rules and regulations. It is suggested that for every building that backflow tests be conducted annually to ensure the safety of the occupants.
White Collar Solutions to Blue Collar Problems.
Professional, Skilled, and Efficient
Our company only hires the most skilled and efficient commercial plumbers who are well-trained with multiple years of plumbing experience. We understand the magnitude of backflow testing, and we handle all types and sizes of backflow preventers designed for a variety of water distribution systems.
Apart from backflow testing, we also offer residential backflow installation services that are designed to keep the water in your building flowing in the right way. Without them, sudden changes in water pressure can make it start flowing backward, which can turn out to be a serious health hazard by causing water contamination.
We have stepwise procedures we use for our backflow installation process. First, we start by evaluating your backflow system, and then we take a look at your plumbing system and identify the best position to install a backflow preventer. Only when the appropriate steps have been determined do we move forward with the installation. We want to ensure that your commercial property is safe from any future issues that could be caused by an incorrect installation.
If you are in the market for a certified backflow testing and installation service provider in Atlanta, hire us today! We can take care of any drain cleaning, sewage issues, or leaky faucets that may be damaging your property.

How we evaluate a backflow job
On site, we inspect the assembly and the distribution system, and then provide a clear recommendation. Key evaluation factors include type and size of the assembly, condition, test results, system pressures, and accessibility for maintenance and local code compliance.
- Type and size of the backflow assembly
- Installation condition and valve accessibility
- Test results and documented leakage or seat failure
- System pressures and thermal or hydraulic stressors
- Evidence of past repair history or recurring failures
- Accessibility for maintenance and local code requirements
We document findings, record test data, and provide an itemized recommendation for repair or replacement, with commercial grade pricing and a compliance timeline.
Typical project workflow
- Schedule certified tester and safety check in with facility staff.
- Isolate assembly, and perform step by step test and inspection.
- Document results, and determine repair or replacement needs.
- Execute repair or install new assembly with proper backflow orientation and anchors.
- Perform certification testing, chlorination where required, and produce an electronic test report.
- Submit required documentation to the authority having jurisdiction, and update owner maintenance records.
Materials and methods we commonly use
Materials and equipment selection aligns with local code and owner priorities: stainless steel and bronze assemblies, brass and iron fittings, double check and reduced pressure assemblies, and stainless service valves. Methods include inline testing, adjustment and seat replacement, valve rebuilds, and full assembly replacement with proper supports and access.
Common causes of backflow assembly failure
