Services
Backflow Testing
Our backflow testing service ensures compliance with state and local regulations by inspecting and certifying backflow prevention devices. We test assemblies for fire sprinkler systems, irrigation, and potable water lines. All findings are documented and submitted to relevant authorities for regulatory compliance.
Repair
We diagnose and repair leaking or malfunctioning backflow valves to restore system integrity. Our licensed technicians use industry-approved methods to address issues while minimizing service disruptions. Repairs include component replacement and system recalibration to meet safety standards.
Replacement
When backflow assemblies fail inspection, we provide replacement services using CA-NV AWWA-approved equipment. Our team ensures proper installation orientation and submits updated documentation to local water districts. Replacements follow CA IAPMO Uniform Plumbing Code requirements.
Installation
We install new backflow prevention systems for residential and commercial properties. Services include device selection, proper orientation, and integration with existing plumbing infrastructure. All installations include permit acquisition and final inspection coordination with regulatory bodies.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance services extend the lifespan of backflow prevention systems through cleaning, lubrication, and component checks. We identify potential issues before annual inspections to prevent compliance violations. Maintenance plans help avoid water service interruptions due to device failures.

California regulations mandate annual inspections to prevent water contamination. Failure to comply may result in water service disconnection by local authorities.

Locations with 2+ assemblies receive 10% off testing services. Commercial properties with 4+ devices qualify for enhanced volume pricing.
How do I verify tester certifications?
Our AWWA-certified technicians appear on SFDPH and SFPUC approved tester lists. We provide documentation upon request to confirm regulatory compliance.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards for completed services. Payment terms for large commercial projects can be arranged in advance.
Do you offer emergency repair services?
While we don't provide 24/7 emergency repairs, we prioritize urgent cases during regular business hours and offer same-day scheduling when possible.
