Keep Your Home's Water Safe and Compliant

Schedule Residential Backflow Testing & Repair in Austin

You rely on clean, safe water every day, and protecting that supply starts with properly functioning backflow devices. If you own a home in Austin with an irrigation system, landscape watering setup, or any cross-connection to your municipal supply, you're required to test your backflow assembly annually. H&S Backflow Testing & Repair sends State-of-Texas–certified technicians to your property to test, diagnose, and repair residential backflow devices with accurate readings and proper compliance documentation. Austin's dense residential neighborhoods and rapid development mean increased water-safety inspections, and staying ahead of those requirements protects both your family and your community.

Each residential backflow test is priced transparently at $75 and includes pressure measurement, valve inspection, and device sealing using professional tools. If your device fails, we provide immediate repair recommendations and fast turnaround to keep you in compliance with Austin municipal requirements. Seasonal pressure changes, especially during summer irrigation cycles, can affect device performance, and our technicians are trained to identify those issues before they escalate into costly violations.
