Certified backflow prevention testing, installation, and repair

Click's Plumbing is licensed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. We have the necessary training and certifications to take care of all your backflow prevention needs.

The State of Texas requires every lawn sprinkler system installed in the State to be protected by a certified backflow prevention device. A certified backflow prevention device must also be installed at all commercial facilities and anywhere a contamination possibility exists. These devices are required to protect the quality and safety of the drinking water supply. As a homeowner or commercial property owner, you are partially responsible for protecting the water supply. You are actually liable for contamination that is derived from your property and can be sued. Therefore, it is extremely important that you use the appropriate licensed professionals to make the connection for your sprinkler system or commercial building. In the state of Texas that means a licensed plumber or licensed irrigator. There are many people out there that are putting in sprinkler systems that are not licensed and they are putting their customers (and the rest of the community on the water supply) at risk. Don't make the mistake of using someone that is not licensed to make this connection. Also, make sure that your licensed professional pulls the appropriate permits if they are going to make a cross connection to the water supply.

In accordance with state law, Texas Water Code Chapter 37, and Title 30 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 30 and Chapter 290 a person who repairs or tests the installation or operation of backflow prevention assemblies must hold a license issued by the TCEQ. We are licensed from the TCEQ as a Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester, license #BP0011147.

In addition to being in compliance with state laws, it is very important that an approved and working backflow device be installed to prevent the cross contamination of water from your irrigation system into your drinking water system. Without a backflow preventer, a loss of pressure in the city water supply can cause the "backflow" of water from the irrigation system into your drinking water, causing possible contamination by fertilizers, pet wastes, and other toxic materials.
