Backflow is a term in plumbing for an unwanted flow of water in the reverse direction and it can pose a serious health risk to our potable water supply. Backflow prevention devices come in the form of automatic check valves which are installed on plumbing lines. In the event of floods or other plumbing failures, the devices prevent contaminated water from flowing back up the lines and into the clean water supply.
Many cities in the metroplex already require annual testing of backflow devices and many more are implementing similar regulations in the next few years... so don't be too surprised when you get your notice in the mail!
We test, service, and install most backflow devices, including double check valves (DCs, DCAs), reduced pressure zone devices (RPZs, RPs, RPPs, RPPDs), and pressure vacuum breakers, PVBs.
For 2018 our annual backflow tests start at $85 per device plus any required city fees, if applicable. We also offer bulk discounts for multiple devices. Our licensed irrigation techs can usually get you scheduled within 24-48 hours and we are happy to provide same day service when possible.
If you've got water lines, you've probably got backflow devices, and when your backflow devices need testing, pick up the phone and call Prime Landscape Services at (817)461-4000... or email us!
