Irrigation Backflow Testing: When Annual Testing Is Required
Why irrigation systems need backflow devices, when annual testing is required, and how to stay compliant in DFW.
All Texas irrigation systems must have a backflow device installed, and many municipalities require annual testing. Check with your city, or call us and we'll tell you what is required for your property.
Why annually?
Irrigation backflow assemblies are mechanical. Over time, springs weaken, and debris may stop the seals from functioning as designed. An annual test can identify these problems before they put your drinking water at risk.
What we check
A complete test verifies the working components of the assembly. RPZ and DC assemblies are common, while PVB and SVB assemblies are also used on irrigation systems. The whole process typically takes about 20 minutes.
What you get from us
- Same-day or next-day appointments across DFW
- Test report filed directly with your city
- A friendly heads-up next year before your renewal deadline
