| Backflow preventers fall under the definition of a
"plumbing appurtenance", as defined and addressed in the local applicable
Plumbing Code. As such, these devices can legally be disassembled, maintained and repaired
only by a Master Plumber, who is required to be licensed in the state in which the work is
to be performed. Additionally, the plumber must complete training and hold current
certification by a recognized authority, such as the American Backflow Prevention
Association, specifically for the maintenance and repair of these devices. Not all plumbers hold this certification, and not all
certificate holders are Licensed Master Plumbers. BakFlo-Tek, Inc. maintains the necessary
certificates and licenses for testing in the State of Georgia, along with a 1.0 million
dollar liability insurance policy. |
