Simple Process

The 3-Step Process

Getting your backflow tested is simple. Here is exactly what to expect from start to finish.

Schedule

Book your appointment by call, text or email. We do our best to schedule within a reasonable timeframe. As a dedicated local specialist, we schedule appointments around our availability — contact us and we will find a time that works for both of us.

The Test

A licensed TCEQ-certified professional performs the full diagnostic test. If your device passes, we file the report directly with EPWater or Lower Valley Water District (LVWD) the same day. You will receive your copy by email as a PDF — just let us know if you prefer a paper copy. For exterior units — you don't even need to be home!

Repairs If Needed

If a device fails testing, repairs may be needed to meet state code. We will explain the issue clearly and give you a full quote before any work begins. Residential repair labor starts at $125.00 — parts required for the repair are additional and will be quoted upfront. You are never charged without your approval.

💡

Good to know: Most residential backflow devices are located outside near your water meter or irrigation shutoff — meaning we can often complete your test without interrupting your day at all.

No Hidden Fees

We believe you deserve to know exactly what you are paying before we arrive. No surprises. No hidden fees. Just honest pricing.

Know Your Water

What Is Backflow — And Why Does It Matter?

Backflow happens when water flows in the wrong direction — back into El Paso's clean water supply. Under normal conditions, water pressure pushes water from the city main into your home or business. But when pressure drops — due to a water main break, heavy fire hydrant use, or high demand — that flow can reverse.

When that happens, water that has been in contact with lawn chemicals, pool water, restaurant equipment, medical devices or industrial systems can be pulled back into the public water supply — contaminating the water your neighbors and family drink.

A backflow prevention assembly is a mechanical device installed on your water line that stops this from happening. Texas law requires these devices to be tested annually by a TCEQ-certified tester to verify they are working correctly.

Plumbers & Certified Backflow Testers

Two separate but complementary roles — here is how they work together to protect your water supply.

Plumbers are skilled tradespeople who install, replace and relocate backflow prevention assemblies as part of their plumbing work. We have great respect for what they do — and we work alongside them regularly. However, not all plumbers hold a TCEQ Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester (BPAT) license — and even those who do may not always have one available on the job when needed.

🔧

What Plumbers Do

→Install brand new backflow prevention assemblies
→Replace old or damaged backflow devices
→Relocate assemblies during construction or remodels
→Handle all pipe connections and water line work

💧

What Certified Testers Do

✓Perform the official TCEQ-required diagnostic test
✓Certify that the assembly meets state performance standards
✓File official test reports with EPWater and LVWD
✓Conduct required annual compliance testing every year

⚠️

The TCEQ Rule Most People Don't Know

Under Texas law, whenever a plumber installs a new backflow assembly, replaces an existing one, or relocates a device on your property — water service cannot be activated until a TCEQ-certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester is present to test and certify the newly installed assembly. This means your plumber — no matter how skilled — cannot complete the job without a certified tester signing off on it first.

That is where 915 Backflow comes in. We work directly with plumbers across El Paso to make sure your new or relocated assembly is tested, certified and reported to EPWater promptly — so your water gets turned back on without delay.
