In Atascosa, where irrigation systems are standard and water quality regulations are strict, the law requires backflow prevention, not just recommends it. Texas mandates annual backflow testing on most irrigation systems and any plumbing setup that poses a contamination risk.
A malfunctioning backflow device might not show visible signs of failure. That’s why annual testing is crucial—not just for compliance but also for peace of mind. Failing to schedule inspections could result in code violations or, worse, contamination of your household or community water supply.
Inside the Backflow Testing Process
What happens during a backflow test? It’s more than just a quick check. When you schedule a test with Superior Irrigation & Lawn, we follow a detailed, certified process:
- Isolate the Device – We turn off the connected system to test safely.
- Visual Inspection – We examine the unit for any signs of damage or incorrect installation.
- Gauge & Pressure Checks – Tools verify that the internal mechanics prevent reverse flow.
- Functional Valve Testing – We ensure relief and check valves are operating correctly.
- Paperwork Submission – We handle the test report and file it with the local water authority if required.
We also let you know immediately if repairs are needed—and offer fast, on-site service if they are.
