Backflow Testing in Salt Lake City, UT | IMC Services
If you own a home or run a business in Salt Lake City, the water that comes out of your tap is something you probably never think about — until something goes wrong. Backflow testing in Salt Lake City is how you keep it that way. A backflow assembly is the small device that stops contaminated water from reversing direction and flowing back into the clean, drinkable supply. When it fails, fertilizer, chemicals, or wastewater can end up where your family or customers drink. Testing it once a year isn't just good practice in Utah — it's the law.
That's where IMC Services comes in. Established in 2019 and built on more than 40 years of combined plumbing experience, our licensed team handles backflow testing for residential and commercial properties across Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, and the surrounding Intermountain area. We test, we document, and we file your results with the right water supplier — so you stay compliant without the headache. Honesty and clear communication are how we've earned the trust of homeowners, landlords, and business owners throughout the valley.
Salt Lake City sits in a high-desert valley where water is precious and tightly regulated. Local suppliers like Salt Lake City Public Utilities and Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District actively enforce cross-connection control, which means most commercial buildings, irrigation systems, and many homes are required to have their backflow assemblies tested every single year. Miss that window and you can face notices, fines, or even a shut-off. We keep track of those deadlines so you don't have to.
The best part: staying compliant is far cheaper and easier than dealing with a contamination event or a lapsed certification. Utah requires every backflow assembly to be tested at least annually by a certified tester, and the test itself is quick. When you call IMC Services, you get a certified technician, a straight answer, and all the paperwork handled — usually in a single visit. That's protection for your water and peace of mind for your property.

Salt Lake City Backflow Testing Snapshot (2026)
A quick look at what Utah's cross-connection control rules mean for your property and your testing schedule.
Here's what those numbers mean for you: Utah requires every backflow assembly to be tested at least once a year, and only a certified backflow tester (Class II or III) can perform that test. After a new install, relocation, or repair, the assembly must be retested within ten working days. Once your test is complete, the results have to be reported to your water supplier within 30 days. Fall behind on any of these and you risk a compliance notice — IMC Services tracks every deadline and files on your behalf so you stay covered.
* Requirements per Utah Administrative Code R309-305 (Cross-Connection Control) and local water suppliers including Salt Lake City Public Utilities and Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District. Contact IMC Services for guidance specific to your property and supplier.
