Is Your Property Backflow Compliant?
Answer a few quick questions and we'll tell you where you stand â no cost, no commitment.
Do you have a backflow preventer on your property?
A backflow preventer is typically a brass or bronze device installed on your water line, often in a vault, enclosure, or mechanical room.
Texas Backflow Testing Requirements
Texas requires annual testing of all backflow prevention assemblies by a licensed tester. This applies to commercial properties, multi-family residential buildings, irrigation systems with chemical injection, and any connection the water provider classifies as a potential cross-connection hazard.
Water providers across Texas â from Dallas Water Utilities and Fort Worth Water to Tarrant Regional Water District and hundreds of smaller municipal systems â enforce these requirements. Missing your annual test can result in water shutoff notices, fines, or being placed on a non-compliance list.
1-A Services has been testing backflow assemblies across Texas since 1998. We handle the test, file results directly with your water authority, and if anything fails, we walk you through the repair process. Close to 9,000 tests a year â this is what we do.
Annual Testing
Every RPZ, DCVA, PVB, and RPDA in Texas must be tested once per year by a licensed tester. Results are filed with your water provider.
New Installation Testing
Any newly installed or replaced backflow assembly must be tested before being placed in service. We handle that on the spot.
Failed Test Protocol
If an assembly fails, repair or replacement is required followed by a passing retest before the device is considered compliant.
Record Keeping
Water providers require certified test reports filed within a set timeframe. We file results directly so you don't chase paperwork.
