Backflow Services

Most people need backflow preventer installation when adding a sprinkler system, putting in a pool, or during new home construction. In Norman and Oklahoma City, the water company requires these devices to keep the public water supply safe. 

Our licensed plumbers handle everything—choosing the right device for your setup (like a double-check assembly for sprinklers or a reduced pressure zone unit for higher-risk connections), installing it to code, and making sure it ties into your plumbing the right way. We’ll also take care of the paperwork with your utility so you don’t have to worry about compliance.

Backflow devices are tough, but they’re not maintenance-free. Oklahoma’s hard water can cause sediment buildup, and rubber seals and springs wear down over time. With our backflow preventer maintenance, we open the assembly, clean the inside, check all the moving parts, and replace anything that’s wearing out. 

Have your backflow device tested every year, and plan for maintenance every few years or whenever it fails a test.

A failed test or a leaky valve doesn’t always mean you need a brand-new unit. Our backflow preventer repair service can often bring the device back to life by rebuilding valves, replacing springs, or installing new rubber parts. 

Repairs are faster and more affordable than full replacements, and we’ll always try that route first if the device is still in good shape. Only if it’s cracked, badly corroded, or beyond saving will we recommend replacement—and we’ll explain exactly why before you make a decision.

By law, most backflow preventers in Oklahoma must be tested once a year by a certified technician, especially on irrigation systems. Our backflow testing service takes about 30–45 minutes per device. We use calibrated gauges to check pressure and flow, verify that the valves are sealing properly, and confirm that the unit is still providing protection. 

Once testing is complete, we’ll give you the results on the spot and send the official paperwork to your city or water provider. If the device fails, we can usually make the repair and retest during the same visit, saving you time and hassle.
