Certified backflow testing and repair
We test, repair, replace, and install backflow assemblies and pressure vacuum breakers for sprinkler systems throughout the Treasure Valley.
Use these links if you already know what you need, or keep reading for more about backflow testing, repairs, and device types.
Backflow testing must be conducted by a certified backflow assembly tester at installation, repair, relocation, and at least annually thereafter.
If your backflow preventer does not pass, we will explain the next steps before doing repair work. The fix may be as simple as cleaning parts, replacing worn components, or replacing the device when repair is not practical.
No repair work is performed without your permission after we discuss options and estimate the repair or replacement cost.
These are common backflow assemblies and vacuum breakers we see on sprinkler systems and commercial sites in the Treasure Valley.
A pressure vacuum breaker can protect against pollutants or contaminants, but only for backsiphonage. It must be installed at least 12 inches above downstream piping and outlets.
We see PVB assemblies often on Treasure Valley sprinkler systems and can test, repair, or replace them.
Double check assemblies are found on many older sprinkler systems. Existing units can remain in place as long as they pass required testing.
If a DC assembly cannot be repaired, it may need to be replaced with a PVB or RP assembly.
An RP assembly contains two check valves and a relief valve. It is a reliable form of backflow protection when site conditions require it.
We can test, repair, replace, and install this type of backflow assembly.
An SVB is similar to a pressure vacuum breaker and can be used for backsiphonage protection. It must also be installed above downstream piping and outlets.
We see these occasionally and can test, repair, or replace them.
An atmospheric vacuum breaker cannot be tested. We show it because we still see them on sprinkler systems from time to time.
If you have one on your sprinkler system, contact us about replacement with a proper backflow prevention device.
Many backflow repairs come from freeze damage. A late blowout, incorrect winterization, or water left in the device can cause expensive repairs.
If you are not sure what type of backflow device you have, or you need help after reading the freeze prevention information, call or text us

Backflow testing must be performed by a certified backflow assembly tester at installation, repair, or relocation, and at least annually thereafter.
Yes. We perform the test, tag the device, email the results to you, and submit the results to the water purveyor on your behalf.
Yes. If the device fails, we will explain repair or replacement options and estimate the cost. No repair work is performed without your permission.
