Texas licenses backflow prevention assembly testers through TCEQ, and utilities in Texas accept reports only from licensed testers. TCEQ rules also require backflow prevention on landscape irrigation systems.

The February 2021 freeze cracked devices across the state and taught many owners about freeze protection. Summers are hard on rubber parts. Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects Texas owners with licensed testers for irrigation backflow testing, backflow enclosure and freeze protection, and backflow preventer replacement.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Common questions about backflow testing in Texas.

Talk to a person

What happens if I miss the backflow test deadline?

Utilities usually send a second notice, and after that some add a fee or schedule a service shutoff. Calling (833) 990-5874 before the deadline is the simplest way to avoid it.

Why is water dripping from my RPZ relief valve?

A steady drip usually means debris is holding the first check open or the relief valve diaphragm is worn. A cleaning or a rebuild kit fixes most cases.

Will my water be off during the test?

Yes, briefly. The tester closes the shutoff valves on the assembly while reading the checks, so water downstream of the device is off until the test is done.

Does my lawn sprinkler system in Texas need a backflow preventer?

Almost every US plumbing code requires one on irrigation, since fertilizer, pesticide and standing water at the heads can siphon back. The device type depends on local code and how the system is laid out.

Can a backflow preventer be repaired instead of replaced?

Often it can. Rebuild kits with new discs, springs and seals are sold for most brands. Replacement makes more sense when the body is cracked or parts are no longer made.
