Backflow issues can cause serious problems in the household, specifically the contamination of drinking water in the plumbing system. When backflow occurs, there is an unwanted reversal of the flow of water from its projected direction in any pipeline. Winters® Home Services provides Massachusetts residents with effective backflow services, allowing families and individuals to sip on clean, healthy water. We’ll provide a full inspection to ensure proper operation and to maintain compliance with local code.

Schedule your Boston backflow testing appointment when you call 617-221-5899 or contact us online. Same-day service is available!

What Is Backflow?

Backflow is when the pressure in a typical plumbing system fails and the distribution of water goes to the opposite direction. When this happens, water can become contaminated with pollutants, which can be hazardous to your health.

Backflow Prevention Devices

A Backflow Prevention Device is used to protect water supplies from contamination. We encourage all homeowners to test their device at least once a year to ensure it is working properly. Failure to test this could lead to a harmful backflow in the future.

What Is Involved in a Water Backflow Test?

Backflow tests are quite simple when done by our experienced Boston plumbers. The device does have test ports, which allow the yearly testing to occur. Our technicians will connect our test kit to the device and verify that it is working properly.

Why Is My Water Backflow Device Failing?

If your backflow device is not working correctly, this could be due to water pressure, water quality, or frequency of use. However, only 5% of tested devices have problems. A majority are caused by worn O-rings, cut seals, or broken springs. Winters® Home Services provides thorough water backflow tests and if you find your water backflow device failing, we offer fast repair service.

"Zane was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. He arrived on time, gave clear explanations, and resolved the problem promptly. Winter's rates are high, but that's not his fault. Update, 1/2/2026: We had a complimentary servicing on our boiler today. The technician, Stephen Brown, was courteous and helpful. There was a small mixup where the home office hadn't flagged the visit as complimentary from the promo, but upon being shown the text, Stephen agreed that it was. I would be happy to have a visit from him again."

"Zack Kirdulis was great. He figured out the right way to contact us and kept in touch. He did a great job, was kind and very personable. Trying to be in touch through the company and the AI bot was totally unacceptable and didn't work. It apparently gave the wrong info, or the right info never got where it needed to go. We finally figured out how to get to a real person and then I still needed to push to get the promised appointment. And, based on google search, the price was high, but the work was done and well."

"Terry Baccus from Winters Home Services visited twice to install and replace parts on the house HVAC system. As I've come to expect with Winters, he was efficient, cordial and very clear with me about what he was doing."

"Online scheduling tool failed and had to wait a week with no water for a slot. Was fixed within 30 mins partially because I had done the work of finding the leak in my wall. Plumbing industry is overpriced, minimum $200 just to show up."
