Backflow testing · Lubbock and the South Plains
Four licensed testers visit your sites, test each backflow assembly, send the report to your water utility and remind you when the next test is due.
Annual reminder
Tell us where your assemblies are. A few weeks before each test is due, we text or email you and offer a day when a tester is already nearby.
Who we test for
Pools, common irrigation and clubhouse lines across many addresses, on one schedule with one folder of reports.
Campus irrigation, kitchens and boiler feeds, tested during breaks so reports are filed before students return.
Well-house and yard assemblies, plus the ones that protect your water when you run chemicals through the lines.
Restaurants, car washes, shops and offices with a meter, a sprinkler line or a chemical feed to protect.
Test fees
The report to your water utility is part of every test.
The size of the assembly, and how many we test on the same visit.
¾ to 1 inch, 1¼ to 2 inch, or 3 inch and larger
The first assembly on a site, or each added one on the same visit
A retest after a repair
We tell you the test fee when you book. A repair is quoted in writing after a failed test, before any work starts.
The tester runs the test, reads each check and relief valve, and explains pass or fail before leaving. The report to your water utility is part of every test.
There is no after-hours rate. Tests are weekday daytime visits.
Nothing is repaired until you approve the written price. After a repair we retest, and the passing report goes to your utility.
Test day
You get the day and an arrival window in writing, with the list of assemblies we will test.
The tester locates every assembly on the list, isolates it and reads it with a gauge. Most take 15 to 30 minutes when access is clear.
Pass or fail is explained before we leave. A failed assembly gets a written repair price, not a surprise.
We send the report to your water utility on its form, give you a copy and put next year's date on your reminder list.
Test days
Testers work weekdays on a rotating route. Ask for the day nearest you.

“We had fourteen assemblies on four different dates. Now it is one list, one visit and every report in a single folder.”
“They tested the assembly at the well house and told us what to change before we ran chemicals through the lines this spring.”
“The tests were done over the summer break, and the reports were with the district before the first day of school.”
Sample reviews.
Before the first test
If it connects to the public water supply through a backflow assembly, most utilities ask for a test once a year. Your utility's notice says which of your assemblies it tracks.
Not if we can reach the assembly. Send gate codes and tell us about locked yards or buried vaults, and we test while you work.
We show you the reading and write a repair price before touching anything. After the repair we retest, and the passing report goes to your utility.
We do, on the form your utility uses, and you get a copy.
No. Tests are weekday visits during the day, so there is no after-hours rate.
Schedule tests
Send the sites and a rough count. We reply with a test day, and add each assembly to your reminder list.
