Water discharging from your backflow device?

A continuously dumping relief valve means the assembly has failed and your water may not be protected. Shut the irrigation valve off and call us — we respond 24/7.

Backflow Services We Provide

Certified testing and real repairs.

Everything your assembly needs, from the annual test to a full replacement — done by licensed Tucson plumbers.

Annual Backflow Testing

Certified testing of PVB, RPZ, and double check assemblies with a documented pass/fail report.

Report Filing

We complete the required test forms and submit results to your water provider so you stay compliant.

Assembly Repair & Rebuild

Worn seats, springs, poppets, and O-rings replaced with factory rebuild kits instead of a full replacement.

Backflow Preventer Replacement

Freeze-cracked, obsolete, or failed assemblies replaced with approved units sized for your system.

Irrigation Backflow Devices

Pressure vacuum breakers for drip and sprinkler systems — the most common device on Tucson homes.

Hose Bib Vacuum Breakers

Inexpensive protection at outdoor spigots so a hose left in a bucket or pool can't siphon back.

Commercial & RPZ Work

Reduced pressure zone assemblies for restaurants, salons, medical offices, and multi-family buildings.

Cross-Connection Surveys

We identify unprotected connections — pools, boilers, soft water loops — and recommend the right device.

Pressure Troubleshooting

Backflow devices can cause pressure loss when fouled. We test and correct instead of guessing.

Freeze Protection

Insulated covers and proper drainage so your assembly survives Tucson's cold snaps.

Failed Test Corrections

Got a failure notice from your water provider? We fix the issue and re-test to close it out.

New Installations

New assemblies for irrigation additions, pools, casitas, and remodels — installed to Arizona code.

Signs Your Backflow Preventer Is Failing

Don't wait for the test to fail.

These are the symptoms Tucson property owners notice before a device fails inspection.

Water leaking from the device

Steady discharge from the relief valve or bonnet means internal seals or check valves have failed.

Weak irrigation pressure

A fouled or partially stuck check valve restricts flow and starves your sprinklers and drip lines.

Discolored or bad-tasting water

Any change in taste, smell, or color at the tap should be treated as a possible cross-connection issue.

A failed annual test

A failure notice from your water provider requires repair and re-test within a set window.

Freeze damage

Cracked brass, a split bonnet, or a device that sprays when charged usually means winter got to it.

No device at all

Pools, irrigation, and soft water loops with no backflow protection are code violations and real health risks.

Our Backflow Process

Test, document, correct.

A clear, compliant process — so you're protected and your paperwork is handled.

1

Locate & identify

We find the assembly, note the make, model, and size, and confirm the hazard level it protects.

2

Certified test

Using calibrated gauges we test each check valve and relief valve against code thresholds.

3

Report results

You get a copy of the pass/fail report, and we file it with your water provider.

4

Repair options

If it fails, we quote a rebuild and a replacement side by side so you can pick the better value.

5

Repair or replace

Rebuild kits or a new approved assembly installed the same visit whenever parts allow.

6

Re-test & close out

We re-test after the repair, submit the passing report, and set your reminder for next year.

FAQ

Call Now
A backflow preventer is a valve assembly that keeps water flowing in one direction only. If pressure drops — a main break, hydrant use, or heavy demand — water can siphon backward and pull irrigation water, pool water, or chemicals into your drinking water. Arizona plumbing code requires protection wherever that risk exists.
