Testing, installation and repair of backflow prevention assemblies for homes, irrigation systems and businesses in Sherman and nearby towns.
Backflow is water flowing the wrong way through your pipes, pulled back from a lawn sprinkler, boiler or commercial system into the public water supply. It happens when pressure in the city line drops or pressure on your side rises. A backflow prevention assembly stops it, but only if it works.
That is why the City of Sherman requires assemblies on health hazard connections to be tested when they are installed and every year after that. Test results go to the city through BSI Online, and the city keeps a list of registered testers. We can test, repair or replace your assembly.
Required yearly tests on existing assemblies for homes and businesses.
A new assembly for an irrigation system or a commercial connection.
Failed tests usually mean worn checks or seals. We repair the assembly and retest it.
When an assembly is past repair, we replace it with an approved one.
For most homeowners, the assembly that needs testing is on a lawn sprinkler system. Restaurants, medical offices, car washes and buildings with fire lines or boilers also have them. If your annual test is due, call us and we will schedule it.
We test your assembly and make sure every check valve holds the way it should.
Sprinkler systems need protection so lawn water never flows back into your drinking water.
Assemblies for restaurants, shops and offices, tested and kept in good working order.
We rebuild worn checks, springs and seals, then test the assembly again.
We install the right assembly for the hazard on your connection.
Old or damaged assemblies are swapped for new approved units.
Simple outdoor protection that keeps garden hose water out of the house lines.
We look for places where your plumbing could let dirty water back into clean lines.
Springs and seals inside an assembly wear out, and a unit can fail without any sign you would notice. A yearly test is how you find out. While we are there, we can look at the rest of your plumbing too, from leak detection to water heaters, for homes and businesses in Sherman and Denison.
We check the unit, its location and its valves.
Test gauges confirm each check valve holds pressure.
Worn parts are rebuilt and the unit is retested.
Results are submitted the way your water provider requires.
Under the City of Sherman's ordinance, backflow assemblies on connections the city treats as health hazards must be tested when they are installed and every year after that. Test results are submitted to the city through BSI Online.
Yes. Texas rules require irrigation systems to be protected from backflow, and Sherman requires the assembly to be tested by a licensed tester before it is placed in service. Many water providers also require an annual test on irrigation assemblies.
A failed test usually means a worn check valve, spring or seal. The assembly is repaired or rebuilt and then tested again. If it is too old or damaged to repair, it is replaced with an approved assembly and tested before it goes back into service.
