Residential Backflow Testing & Repair in Austin
Keep Your Home's Water Supply Safe and Compliant
Your home's drinking water depends on backflow devices that prevent contamination from irrigation lines, sprinkler systems, and landscape plumbing. In Austin's rapidly expanding residential neighborhoods, maintaining these assemblies isn't optional—it's a municipal requirement that protects your family and your community.
H&S Backflow Testing & Repair brings State-of-Texas–certified technicians to your door, trained to test, diagnose, and repair every type of residential backflow device with precision and integrity. Austin's seasonal pressure changes, combined with heavy irrigation use during dry months, place unique stress on valve seals and check assemblies. Backflow preventers installed on irrigation systems are required to be tested annually under Austin Water's cross-connection control program.
From Mueller to Hyde Park and south to Barton Hills, our family-operated team delivers transparent pricing—$75 residential tests—and the detailed compliance documentation Austin Water demands, so you avoid fines and keep your water safe.
Why Austin Homes Need Regular Backflow Testing
Austin's dense residential growth means more homes share pressurized water mains, and any failure in a single backflow device can introduce pesticides, fertilizers, or stagnant water into the potable supply. Whether you're watering St. Augustine turf in Travis Heights or maintaining xeriscaping in North Shoal Creek, your irrigation backflow assembly is the only barrier between contaminated runoff and your kitchen tap.
Our technicians use calibrated pressure gauges and valve-inspection tools to evaluate every component—inlet shutoffs, check valves, test cocks, and relief valves—ensuring accurate readings and proper device sealing. A failing check valve can allow reverse flow during pressure drops, a common occurrence when city crews perform main repairs or hydrant flushing. We catch those failures before Austin Water does, and we repair them on the spot when parts are available.
If your device can't be restored to compliant operation, we provide clear replacement recommendations and fast turnaround so you meet deadlines without stress. Call us today at your earliest convenience for Residential Backflow Testing & Repair in Austin.
