Backflow Prevention and Testing in Florence

Protecting Clean Water in Manning and the Pee Dee Area

Most of us don’t spend much time thinking about the direction water flows through our pipes, as long as it’s moving when we turn on the tap. However, your home relies on a very specific balance of pressure to keep the clean water coming in and the used water going out. Backflow happens when that pressure shifts, potentially pulling contaminated water backward into your clean supply. For over two decades, Quality Service Company has been helping our neighbors in Florence keep their water safe with reliable testing and prevention. It is one of those behind-the-scenes jobs that makes a world of difference for your family’s health.

We know that getting a notice from the city about a required backflow test can feel like just another item on a long to-do list. Our goal is to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible. We’ve been part of this community for a long time, and we take pride in helping you stay compliant with local regulations while protecting the integrity of your plumbing. When we stop by, we don't just run a test; we make sure you understand how your prevention device is working and what we can do to keep it in good shape.

Why Backflow Testing Matters

It’s easy to overlook backflow prevention until there’s a problem with a city water main or a sudden change in pressure at your own property. These devices are the silent guardians of your plumbing, sitting between your home and potential contaminants like fertilizers, soaps, or even waste. 

Because these mechanical valves have moving parts that can wear down over time, regular checks are the only way to be sure they are still doing their job. Our team brings decades of experience to every visit, so that your home remains a safe place for your kids to brush their teeth and for you to cook dinner.

Here’s what homeowners gain from professional backflow testing and prevention:

• Detailed inspections – We look at the entire setup to identify any external damage or signs of aging that could cause future trouble.
• Straightforward documentation – Once the test is complete, we handle the paperwork and help you understand the results without technical jargon.
• Honest repair advice – If your device needs a mend, we’ll explain your options and help you choose a path that makes sense for your budget.
• Proactive scheduling – We can help you remember when your next test is due so you don't have to worry about missing a deadline.

Regular testing confirms that these devices are working as intended. For many homeowners, testing is required periodically by local water providers, especially when irrigation systems, auxiliary water sources, or specific plumbing setups are present. Our technicians at Quality Service Company take time to review test results, explain any findings, and discuss what actions may be needed if a device is not functioning properly.
