What you can do before we arrive
Find the testing notice from your water provider and the location of the device; most residential devices are near the irrigation shut-off or in a box by the meter.
What we see in Upstate homes
Irrigation is common on newer lots around Simpsonville, Greer and the Woodruff Road corridor, and many of those systems need a backflow assembly and yearly test.
Keeping it from coming back
Drain irrigation backflow devices before freezing weather where they are exposed, or insulate them. A frozen device usually means a repair and retest in spring.
