Backflow Services in Apex, NC

Apex calls itself the Peak of Good Living, and that good living runs on a lot of irrigation. Drive through Haddon Hall, Scotts Mill, or any of the newer pockets ringing the Peakway and you’ll see backflow assemblies on nearly every lawn — which is exactly why the Town of Apex takes cross-connection control seriously. Every one of those devices is the barrier that keeps fertilizer, pond water, and irrigation backflow out of the drinking water your neighbors rely on.

That drinking water is worth protecting. Apex pulls from Jordan Lake and treats it at the jointly-owned Cary/Apex plant, then distributes it town-wide. A single failed assembly on a hot, high-demand summer day can let contaminated water siphon back into that clean supply — the precise scenario the testing rules exist to prevent.

One company for the whole assembly

We handle the full lifecycle so you’re not juggling vendors: we test the device, and if it fails we repair or replace it on the spot when we can. Apex’s split housing stock means we see both ends of the range — tired assemblies in established 1990s and 2000s neighborhoods that have simply aged out, and dense new-construction rows in the 2010s and 2020s subdivisions where irrigation is standard. Either way, we file the passing report electronically and confirm it landed.

Apex runs its own cross-connection control program rather than handing it off — so the schedule, the deadlines, and the reporting process are all set locally. Here is how it breaks down for the two property types we serve most.

Commercial assemblies must be tested annually. Residential irrigation assemblies now test every three years under North Carolina Senate Bill 166 — with one important exception: if your system feeds a booster pump or a chemical-feed setup, it still tests every year.

In every case the certified tester submits the passing report electronically, and submission windows and deadlines can change. We confirm the current filing process and your specific deadline, run the test, and file the result — so a missed cutoff never puts your water service at risk.
