Installation, repair, and annual testing
We install and replace backflow assemblies sized to your service, repair failing checks and relief valves, and perform required testing within our licensed scope. If you got a notice that your device is due for testing — or that it failed — we can test it, explain what needs repair, and help submit paperwork so your utility has the updated record.
Why it's required
Irrigation systems, pools, and certain fixtures create cross-connections where dirty water can be pulled backward into the potable supply during a pressure drop — a main break, heavy demand, or hydrant use nearby. A working backflow preventer is the safeguard, which is why local utilities require approved devices and yearly testing on many residential and most commercial properties.
What makes a device fail
These assemblies wear out. Rubber check seats and relief valves degrade, debris and grit lodge in the checks, and freezing or physical damage cracks the body. A device that's spitting water from its relief port, or that fails its annual test, isn't protecting your water anymore and needs to be repaired or rebuilt.
Annual testing and filing support
We gauge-test the assembly, repair issues within our scope, and help file the required test record with your utility. We track common testing windows so you're not scrambling at the deadline.
Residential and commercial
From a single irrigation backflow on a home to the larger assemblies on a restaurant, medical office, or multi-unit property, we install and service the right device for the application and code. For commercial sites we coordinate testing across multiple devices so records stay organized.
Signs it’s time to call
- Annual backflow test notice from your water utility
- Device failed its certification test
- Water dripping or spitting from the assembly's relief port
- New irrigation system or pool that needs a preventer
- Older or corroded backflow assembly
- Discolored water after a pressure drop
