Backflow Testing & Repair

Annual backflow testing and repair to keep your irrigation system compliant and safe.

Backflow testing is a legal requirement in Houston. We test your irrigation backflow preventer once a year to make sure water can't flow backward into the city's drinking water supply. If it fails, we repair or replace it on the spot. Most systems need just a minor adjustment. We handle the paperwork and send your test results to the city.

Houston's heat and mineral-heavy water are tough on backflow preventers. We see a lot of sediment buildup and worn seals, especially in older systems. We use standard test equipment and keep parts in the truck, so you're not waiting weeks for a fix. The whole job usually takes an hour or two, depending on what we find.

You get a certified test report you can file with the city. If we find a problem, we explain it clearly and give you the cost before we start repairs. No surprises. Once we're done, your system is safe and legal for another year.

Questions

About backflow testing & repair

Do I really need backflow testing every year?

Yes. Houston requires it by law. If you don't test and something goes wrong, the city can fine you and shut down your system. It's a quick, inexpensive way to stay compliant.

What happens if my backflow preventer fails the test?

We'll tell you what's wrong and what it costs to fix. Most failures are simple fixes like a worn seal or a stuck valve. We can usually repair it the same day.

How long does the test take?

Usually 30 minutes to an hour. If we need to do repairs, add another 30 to 60 minutes depending on what needs fixing.
