Backflow Prevention & Testing in Indianapolis
Licensed Plumbers. Local Team. We Know the 317.
Backflow testing isn’t a service you want handled by just anyone. When the safety of your drinking water is at stake, the person testing your device should be licensed and know exactly what they’re doing. At 317 Plumber, our plumbing division hires only licensed plumbers, and that’s the team that handles backflow inspection services we perform in Indianapolis.
We’re a local, family-owned company. When you call us, you’re calling a neighbor. We know the 317 because we are the 317, and that familiarity extends to the compliance requirements Indianapolis property owners face every year.
Ready to schedule your backflow test? Call us any time at (317) 548-0044 and we can walk you through what’s needed.
Why Indianapolis Property Owners Call 317 Plumber
Compliance deadlines don’t wait, and neither do we. Our team answers calls 24/7, so you’re never stuck leaving a message when a test deadline is approaching or a device has failed. Actual service timing depends on the nature of the situation, but you’ll always reach a real person.
We also know that unexpected plumbing costs aren’t always convenient. That’s why we offer financing through Synchrony, and we encourage customers to ask about our warranties when we’re on-site.
Indianapolis Backflow Compliance: What You Need to Know
Indiana regulates cross-connection control statewide under 327 IAC 8-10, administered by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). In Indianapolis, Citizens Energy Group, the local water utility, runs its own compliance program on top of that. Backflow testers must hold IDEM certification, and test results must be submitted through Citizens Energy Group’s Aqua Backflow portal within 30 days of testing.
Annual testing is required. Miss the deadline and you could face compliance notices, penalty fees, and potentially a water service shutoff. Staying ahead of it is more straightforward when you work with a backflow plumber who handles the documentation.
Properties that typically need annual backflow testing include:
- Residential properties with irrigation systems, pool fill lines, or other cross-connections
- Commercial buildings with fire protection systems, boilers, or cooling towers
- Industrial facilities with process water cross-connections
Backflow Testing for Indianapolis Homes & Commercial Properties
Our work runs about 80% residential and 20% commercial, so our licensed plumbers are comfortable with the full range of devices and cross-connection types across Indianapolis. On the residential side, that’s usually a pressure vacuum breaker on an irrigation line or a device protecting a pool fill connection. On the commercial side, it’s more often RPZ assemblies tied to fire suppression systems, boilers, or cooling towers.
The compliance requirements don’t change based on property type, but the devices do. We assess what’s installed, test it correctly, and submit the results with Citizens Energy Group.

Staying compliant shouldn’t be stressful. Our licensed plumbers handle the testing, documentation, and portal submission so you don’t have to track down the details yourself. Ask us about our warranties when we’re there, and financing through Synchrony is available if you need it.
