When a backflow device leaks continuously from its relief port or fails its annual inspection, prompt repair prevents water waste, pressure loss, and county violation warnings
At Backflow Services Done Right (operated by Baumbach Plumbing & Remodeling), our family-owned plumbing company has protected Northern Virginia drinking water systems for nearly a century. Clifton is known for its rolling countryside, historic charm, custom acreage homes, and expansive residential landscapes. Whether you own a historic property in Clifton Village, manage an estate home with complex multi-zone lawn irrigation in Balmoral or Wyckland, or operate a boutique commercial venue along Clifton Road, maintaining a code-compliant backflow preventer is vital for public health and county legal compliance.
Drinking water for public supply connections across Clifton is regulated through Fairfax Water, which mandates annual inspection and testing for all containment backflow prevention assemblies under the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) and Fairfax County cross-connection control guidelines.
From seasonal irrigation backflow inspections along Chapel Road and Popes Head Road to high-hazard Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) device installations for agricultural feed lines, boilers, or commercial kitchens along Main Street, our licensed Master Plumbers deliver prompt, flat-rate, worry-free service.
We proudly serve all residential subdivisions, estate enclaves, and commercial properties across Clifton, including Historic Clifton Village, Balmoral, Wyckland, Ivakota, and properties along Clifton Road, Union Mill Road, Kincheloe Road, and Newman Road.
Different plumbing hazards require specific backflow assembly designs. Our DPOR-certified specialists are qualified to service all code-approved devices:
| Device Type | Primary Application | Hazard Level |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) | Commercial Buildings, Boilers, Medical, High-Risk Supply | High Hazard (Health Hazard) |
| Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) | Indoor Plumbing, Low-Hazard Fire Lines, Subterranean Vaults | Low Hazard (Non-Health) |
| Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) | Residential Lawn Irrigation, Landscape Sprinklers | High Hazard (Outdoor Backsiphonage) |
| Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) | Hose Bibbs, Point-of-Use Supply Connections | Low to Medium Hazard |
Offers maximum mechanical protection against backsiphonage and backpressure. RPZs feature two independent check valves separated by an intermediate differential relief valve, making them mandatory for commercial facilities, boilers, and high-hazard plumbing systems.
Consists of two spring-loaded check valves in series. DCVs are typically installed indoors or in subterranean vaults for low-hazard non-health risks.
