Irrigation Backflow Testing in New Braunfels, TX

Sprinkler systems are the most common reason a homeowner gets a backflow test letter. Heads sit in soil, fertilizer and pet waste, and a pressure drop on the main can pull that water back into the house supply.

Irrigation backflow testing covers whatever your system uses: a PVB on most homes, an RPZ where fertilizer injection is present, or a double check on some commercial sites.

Timing matters. In cold regions the device has to be charged and tested after spring start-up, then drained before the first hard freeze. Testing a winterized PVB is not possible, so the test lands between those two dates.

A tester also looks at the install. A PVB under 12 inches of rise, a missing union or a test cock painted shut are all common on older lawns.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with testers in New Braunfels, TX who handle irrigation backflow testing, file the report and fix small problems on the spot when parts allow. Call (833) 990-5874 for backflow prevention on your sprinkler system.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Irrigation Backflow Testing in New Braunfels, TX.

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in New Braunfels, TX?
Most water utilities require a test once a year. Many also require one at installation, after any repair and after the device is moved. Your utility's notice letter gives the exact due date.
Who is allowed to test my backflow device?
A tester who holds a backflow tester certification recognized by your state or your water utility. Many utilities keep an approved tester list and reject reports signed by anyone not on it.
Why is water dripping from my RPZ relief valve?
A steady drip usually means debris is holding the first check open or the relief valve diaphragm is worn. A cleaning or a rebuild kit fixes most cases.
What is a cross-connection?
Any point where drinking water piping can come into contact with a non-potable source. Common examples are a hose in a bucket, a boiler fill line and an irrigation system.
Who sends the test report to the water utility?
The tester usually files it, either on the utility's paper form or through its online portal. Ask for a copy for your own records.
