Every backflow preventer repair we perform includes on-site testing before we leave your property. This means you're not waiting for a third-party inspector to discover problems; we've already verified the repair meets code requirements. The double-check valve, relief valve, or check cartridge we replace gets tested under actual water pressure conditions to confirm proper operation. If there's any doubt about performance, we address it immediately rather than scheduling a follow-up appointment.
Whether we're repairing a residential backflow preventer on a lawn irrigation system or a commercial reduced pressure assembly protecting a building's domestic water supply, the same standard applies. If the device fails the official re-test conducted by your local water authority, we dispatch a technician at no cost to diagnose and repair the issue.
A failed backflow preventer can allow contaminated water to flow backward into your municipal water supply, creating public health risks and regulatory violations. Most jurisdictions require annual backflow testing and certification, often through the American Backflow Prevention Association (ABPA) standards. When a device fails, you're facing potential fines, water service restrictions, or mandatory replacement, costs that quickly exceed the original repair investment.
We're an authorized Generac and Noritz dealer, which means we maintain relationships with quality manufacturers and stay current on the latest equipment standards. That same commitment to quality extends to backflow preventer repairs, where we source certified replacement cartridges and components that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications.
If the water authority's re-test identifies an issue weeks later, we're back out: no service call fee, no parts markup, no questions asked. This approach eliminates the frustration of being caught between a failed inspection and repair bills you weren't expecting.
We test every repair before leaving your property because the work must pass inspection.
Blackmon Plumbing provides licensed backflow preventer repair and testing throughout the service area, with fast, often same-day emergency dispatch available for failed devices requiring immediate correction.
