About Us
Michigan Backflow Institute
Waterford, MI
When the State of Michigan changed the law regarding backflow regulations, the Michigan Backflow Institute saw an opportunity to fill a pressing need. While some might take clean drinking water for granted, it’s the hardworking individuals who install and test the piping that protect it.
We are Michigan’s most comprehensive backflow school, offering 40-hour certification classes, recertification, and repair classes.
Use our more than 50 years’ experience in the field to your advantage. Our instructors and proctors are all heavily involved in the industry on a daily basis: testing, municipal administration, association leadership and industry code activity.
We want to help you earn and keep your ASSE certification, which will make you more viable in the workforce and help you keep up with the current requirements in the industry.
