Same-Day Backflow Preventer Repair
Same-day repair of failed backflow devices with parts on the truck.
A malfunctioning backflow preventer can compromise the safety of your water supply. It's crucial to seek immediate professional repair if you notice any of these issues:
Backflow Preventer Repair — What Every Homeowner Should Know
When your water utility sends a notice that your backflow preventer failed its annual test, you've got a ticking clock to get it fixed before they shut off your water service. Maybe the device is leaking, the relief valve won't hold pressure, or the test cocks are corroded beyond repair. Blackmon Plumbing handles backflow preventer repairs throughout Greater Houston, getting your system back to passing condition so you can stay connected to city water without the headache of dealing with utility deadlines.
This repair becomes urgent when you receive a failed test notice from your water authority, when you spot water pooling around the device after heavy rains, or when the annual inspection reveals worn check valves or faulty relief components. Houston's clay soil movement and our Gulf Coast humidity take a toll on these devices over time, especially on older installations where brass fittings corrode or rubber seals deteriorate. The city won't wait long for repairs, and neither should you.
Our trucks carry the full range of backflow parts — check valves, relief valves, test cocks, and gasket kits — so we can complete most repairs in one visit instead of making you wait for special orders. As a Texas Responsible Master Plumber (MPL-38162), we handle all the testing documentation and submit the passing results directly to your water authority. You get flat-rate pricing approved before we start, and your water stays on while we work.

Our Backflow Preventer Repair Process
We send licensed, experienced plumbers equipped with professional tools and testing equipment to diagnose and repair your problem.
Diagnose the Failure
Our certified technician performs a thorough inspection of your backflow prevention assembly. We identify the exact cause of failure—worn seals, faulty check valves, or broken springs.
On-the-Spot Repair
We fix it with high-quality replacement parts our experienced technicians bring to every job. Our technicians ensure your device meets all manufacturer specifications and local code requirements.
Re-Test for Compliance
After repair completion, we conduct a certified test using calibrated equipment. We verify that your device functions correctly and effectively prevents backflow.
Submit Official Paperwork
Once your device passes the post-repair test, we complete and submit all necessary documentation. We file test reports directly to your local water authority on your behalf.
