The industry standard is about 20 minutes, although traffic and distance to travel will increase or decrease this time.

While each insurance company will have their own policy, many companies do provide a reduction in premiums because of the extra level of protection fire alarm and security systems provide. Please note, regular maintenance, inspections and repairs have to be maintained on these systems in order for insurance companies to accept a claim.
Backflow is a term used for when wastewater flows in the opposite direction of the water current, mixing with clean drinking water. A backflow preventer is installed in fire sprinkler systems, water pumps, irrigation systems, and all wastewater plumbing systems to avoid this dangerous and unhealthy contamination.
To stop backflow, a backflow prevention device is installed in both commercial and residential water pipes to reverse the water current and prevent cross-contamination. It does this by only allowing the flow of water in one direction, using its valves as a one-way funnel.
Backflow devices often stop working due to a buildup of waste, dirt, debris, a change in water pressure, or worn-out valves. Extreme temperatures can also impact the effectiveness and quality of your backflow preventer because thermal expansion causes them to break down faster.
Washington State requires backflow preventers to be inspected and tested annually to protect public health and safety. Following your inspection and testing, you must obtain the proper certification that documents your device’s compliance.
If you are a commercial business located in Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, or the surrounding areas, consider Pacific Fire & Security your go-to resource for backflow testing and certification. We also provide comprehensive fire safety inspection and testing services tailored to your property’s unique needs.
