Backflow Preventer Testing in Baytown
A backflow preventer has moving parts that wear. The only way to know it still works is to test it.

What Happens During a Backflow Test
Connect the Test Kit
A gauge is connected to the test ports on the device.
Check Each Valve
We measure whether each check valve holds and whether the relief valve opens when it should.
Record the Readings
The readings go on the test report for your device.
File the Report
We file the report with the city, so you do not have to.
If the Device Fails
A failed test usually means a worn seal, spring or check valve. Those parts can be replaced.
