Common Questions
What is a backflow preventer?
A backflow preventer (also called a backflow prevention assembly) is a set of valves installed on a water line that lets water flow only one way. It stops dirty or contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean public drinking water supply. Backflow Plumbing Solutions tests, repairs and installs backflow preventers throughout Fresno and Tulare Counties.
Why is annual backflow testing required in California?
California regulations require water suppliers to run a cross-connection control program. Most water purveyors require backflow prevention assemblies to be tested when installed and at least once a year after that, to confirm they still work. Your water district will usually mail a notice when your test is due.
Where do I get my backflow tested?
The test is done at your property, right where the assembly is installed. You don't take anything anywhere. In the Fresno, Clovis, Visalia and Tulare County area, call Backflow Plumbing Solutions at 559-480-5538 and a certified tester comes to you.
Who does same-day backflow testing in Fresno?
Backflow Plumbing Solutions offers same-day backflow testing in Fresno, Clovis and nearby areas, when the schedule allows. Call 559-480-5538 early in the day for the best chance of a same-day appointment.
How long does a backflow test take?
Most standard tests take about 20 to 45 minutes per assembly, depending on the type, its condition and access. Repairs, if needed, take longer.
What happens if my backflow preventer fails the test?
A failed assembly needs to be repaired or replaced and then retested. Because Backflow Plumbing Solutions is a C-36 licensed plumbing contractor, we can usually repair it, retest it and file the passing report for you.
Who files the backflow test results with the water district?
The tester completes the test report. Backflow Plumbing Solutions files the results with your local water purveyor for you, so you don't have to.
