The test your water provider requires — done right, on time, every year.

If you’ve got a backflow prevention device on your property (common for irrigation systems, commercial buildings, and some residential setups), most water providers in this area require annual testing and certification to keep your water service in good standing. Miss it, and you can end up with a notice from your provider — or worse, water service actually cut off.

Texas Plumbing & Drain tests and certifies backflow prevention devices for homes and businesses across Aledo, Weatherford, Fort Worth, and the west DFW Metroplex.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO HERE

Backflow Device Testing

We test your existing backflow prevention assembly to confirm it’s functioning correctly — preventing contaminated water from siphoning backward into the clean water supply, which is exactly what these devices exist to stop.

Backflow Certification

Once tested, we complete and file the certification documentation your water provider requires, so you’ve got a paper trail proving compliance without you having to chase down forms or figure out where they go.

Backflow Device Repair & Replacement

If your device fails testing, we repair or replace it on the spot when possible, then retest and certify so you’re not left in limbo waiting on a second visit for something we could fix during the first one.

New Backflow Device Installation

For new construction, irrigation system installs, or properties that don’t currently have a required backflow prevention device, we install one that meets your water provider’s specifications.

FAQ — STRAIGHT ANSWERS

What is a backflow preventer, and why do I need one tested?

It’s a device that stops water from flowing backward into the clean supply line — which matters because without it, contaminated water (from irrigation systems, certain commercial equipment, or other sources) could potentially siphon back into drinking water. Most municipalities require annual testing to make sure the device is actually doing its job.

Is backflow testing legally required, or optional?

In most of our service area, if you have a backflow prevention device installed (often required for irrigation systems and certain commercial properties), annual testing and certification is required by your water provider — not optional. Requirements can vary by city, so we’ll confirm what applies to your specific property.

What happens if I don’t get my backflow device tested?

Depending on your water provider, consequences range from a notice and fine to actual water service disconnection until the test is completed. It’s not worth letting the deadline pass.

How do I know if I have a backflow prevention device?

If you have an irrigation/sprinkler system, a fire suppression system, or certain commercial plumbing setups, you almost certainly have one. It’s usually a visible assembly with test cocks, often located near where your water line enters your property or near the irrigation system’s connection point.

How long does backflow testing take?

Typically a quick, straightforward test — most residential and small commercial devices can be tested in well under an hour, assuming the device passes without needing repair.

Do you handle the paperwork and submission to my water provider, or is that on me?

We handle the certification paperwork and submission as part of the service — you shouldn’t have to track down forms or figure out where compliance documentation needs to go.

Can you remind me when my annual test is due?

Yes — since this is an annual requirement, we can set you up to be notified when your next test is coming due, so you’re not the one keeping track of the deadline or finding out it lapsed because of a notice in the mail.

Don't Just Take Our Word for It

See what a local homeowner had to say after calling Texas Plumbing & Drain.

We had two sink drains giving off a persistent smell and were also losing water pressure every time the sprinklers kicked on. David from Texas Plumbing and Drain came out to our home on Jabez Ct in Weatherford and took care of both issues in one visit. He tracked down the source of the smell in both drains and got the pressure issue sorted out as well. Such a relief to finally have everything working the way it should. David was professional, thorough, and easy to work with the whole time. If you’re dealing with drain odor or water pressure problems in Weatherford or anywhere in the DFW area, don’t wait on it. Call Texas Plumbing and Drain. Highly recommend.
