Backflow prevention is one of the most important safeguards in your plumbing system. At 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP, we install and coordinate testing for backflow preventers to make sure your water supply stays clean, safe, and compliant with local regulations. Whether you own a home or manage a commercial property, preventing contamination from entering your drinking water line protects your health and your community.
A backflow preventer is a mechanical valve that stops dirty water from flowing backward into your clean water line. When there is a sudden change in water pressure, such as when a main breaks or a fire hydrant is opened, contaminated water from irrigation systems, boilers, or industrial equipment can be drawn back into the drinking water supply. A properly installed backflow preventer keeps those contaminants out. It is a small device with a big job, protecting every faucet, appliance, and fixture in your home or business from unsafe water.
In most Texas municipalities, including Katy and the surrounding areas, backflow prevention is required by law for both commercial and certain residential properties. Local water authorities enforce these requirements to keep public water systems free of contamination. That means if your property has an irrigation system, fire sprinkler, or any connection that could allow cross-contamination, you are required to have a backflow preventer installed and tested by a certified technician.
24/7 Plumbing Co., LP handles both installation and coordination of testing with licensed backflow specialists. We make sure every system we work on meets state and local codes, keeping you compliant and avoiding costly violations.
Most backflow preventers must be tested once a year to stay compliant. Over time, internal seals and springs can wear out, or debris can build up and keep the valve from closing properly. Regular testing ensures that the system is working exactly as it should. During installation, our team provides clear documentation for your records, including when to schedule your next inspection.
If testing ever shows signs of a problem, we repair or replace the unit before it becomes a risk. Many devices last for years with proper maintenance, but Texas heat and mineral-heavy water can shorten their lifespan. That is why timely inspections are important.
Most backflow issues start quietly. You might notice a change in water pressure, discolored water, or even a sulfur-like odor near certain fixtures. These are signs that the valve is not sealing properly or that contaminated water could be entering the line. If you see or smell anything unusual, shut off your water and call 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP. We can send a technician out quickly to assess the issue and coordinate certified testing if needed.
