Annual Backflow Testing in Plainview, TX

Your water utility mailed a notice. It names a device, a serial number and a due date. That letter is the start of annual backflow testing, and Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with a local tester in Plainview, TX who can handle it.

The tester closes the downstream shutoff, hooks a differential pressure gauge to the test cocks and reads each check valve in turn. On a double check, each check has to hold at least 1.0 psid. On an RPZ, the relief valve has to open at no less than 2.0 psid. The numbers go on the report exactly as read.

Most residential tests take about half an hour, and your water is off for part of it. Commercial assemblies take longer, especially 4 inch and larger devices.

If the device passes, the report gets filed. If it fails, you get the reason in plain words and the options: repair, rebuild or replace.

Backflow prevention only works when the device is checked on schedule. Call Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing at (833) 990-5874 to book your test in Plainview, TX.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Annual Backflow Testing in Plainview, TX.

Talk to a person
What does a failed backflow test mean?
A check valve or the relief valve did not hold its required pressure differential. The device needs repair or replacement, then a retest before a passing report can be filed.
Can a backflow preventer freeze?
Yes. Trapped water expands and can crack the bronze body or blow out the bonnet. Insulated enclosures, heat cable or draining the device for winter prevent it.
Do I need an expansion tank after installing a backflow preventer?
Often, yes. The device makes your plumbing a closed system, so heated water cannot expand back to the main and the water heater relief valve may start dripping.
How much does backflow testing cost in Plainview, TX?
Pricing depends on device type, size and the local market. Call (833) 990-5874 for current pricing on backflow testing in Plainview, TX.
Is fire sprinkler backflow testing different?
Yes. Along with the standard check valve test, NFPA 25 calls for an annual forward flow test on fire line backflow assemblies. Results often go to both the water utility and the fire authority.
