Protecting Public Water Supply From Contamination
International Equipment Company holds state licensing to test, repair, and install backflow prevention assemblies throughout Tennessee and Georgia. These critical devices prevent contaminated water from flowing backward into municipal water systems—protecting public health while keeping your facility compliant with water authority requirements. Our certified technicians service all backflow assembly types, including double check valves, reduced pressure assemblies, pressure vacuum breakers, and atmospheric vacuum breakers on fire sprinkler connections, domestic water lines, and irrigation systems.

Annual Testing With Complete Compliance Management
Tennessee and Georgia water authorities mandate annual testing for all backflow prevention devices. Our state-licensed inspectors conduct comprehensive tests using calibrated equipment that meets regulatory accuracy standards. We measure differential pressures, verify check valve closure, test relief valve operation, and document every result on official test forms. After testing, we submit documentation directly to your local water authority and provide copies for your compliance records—eliminating the paperwork burden from your facilities team. We also track testing schedules for all your devices, sending advance notifications so you never miss a compliance deadline.
Field Repairs That Get Devices Back In Service
When backflow assemblies fail annual testing, immediate repairs are necessary to maintain water service and avoid violations. Our technicians carry extensive parts inventory, including check valve seats, springs, diaphragms, and complete rebuild kits for rapid repairs. We diagnose valve malfunctions, replace worn components, and retest assemblies on the same visit—minimizing downtime and eliminating multiple service calls. For assemblies in underground vaults, we bring pumping equipment to remove standing water before testing or repairs.
Calibrated Testing Equipment & Licensed Personnel
Accurate backflow testing requires properly calibrated test kits and state-certified technicians. We maintain annual calibration schedules for all our testing equipment, ensuring measurements meet water authority specifications. Every technician performing backflow tests holds current state certification and stays updated on changes to testing protocols and regulatory requirements.
Preventative Service That Extends Assembly Life
Small valves and ports in backflow assemblies require periodic flushing and maintenance to prevent debris buildup that causes premature failures. Our technicians perform routine maintenance during annual testing visits—cleaning test cocks, flushing drain lines, and servicing components that benefit from regular attention. These preventative measures reduce repair costs and extend assembly lifespan.
New Installations From ¾" To 8" & Larger
New construction, building expansions, and fire sprinkler additions require properly sized backflow prevention assemblies installed according to plumbing codes and water authority specifications. We handle installations from small ¾-inch domestic assemblies to large 8-inch fire line devices. Our installation capabilities include underground vault installations and above-ground mountings for both potable water and fire protection systems. As a high-volume dealer, we source backflow assemblies at competitive pricing and coordinate installations using our in-house crews—controlling both quality and cost throughout the project.
