Why Dallas requires an irrigation backflow test
Sprinkler heads sit in soil, fertilizer, and pet waste. If pressure in the Dallas main drops — a hydrant flush, a water main break — water can be siphoned backward out of your yard and into the drinking water system. The backflow assembly on your irrigation line prevents that, and Dallas Water Utilities requires proof each year that it still works.
Where your assembly is and what we do
Most Dallas homes have a double check or pressure vacuum breaker assembly near the water meter, in a green in-ground box, or above ground close to the house. Our technician isolates it, tests each check with calibrated gauges, notes the results, and restores the system. You do not have to be home — just leave the gate unlocked or send a gate code. On-site time is typically 20 to 30 minutes.
Freeze damage and failed assemblies in Dallas
The most common failure we see in Dallas is a cracked bonnet or split body from a hard freeze, followed by debris fouling a check. We carry common irrigation parts, so a failed test often becomes a same-visit repair and re-test. Once it passes, we submit the report to Dallas Water Utilities and you are done for another year.
Dallas water authority: Dallas Water Utilities
Dallas Water Utilities requires annual backflow assembly testing for every property with an irrigation system, fire line, or commercial water connection. Failure to test on time can lead to fines or service interruption. Our crews cover every Dallas ZIP code and file your test directly with DWU the same day.
We submit your passing irrigation backflow testing report directly to Dallas Water Utilities — no paperwork on your end. Dallas Water Utilities mails an annual notice with a firm due date and can assess penalties or interrupt service if a passing report is not on file.
