Professional Installation for Every Property Type

New Construction Backflow Installation

Building a new property requires backflow prevention systems that meet current codes and future-proof your water infrastructure. We work directly with contractors, property developers, and building owners to design and install systems that pass inspection on the first attempt. Our team coordinates with local water districts to ensure every installation meets specific jurisdiction requirements, from device selection to precise placement specifications.

Mandated Backflow System Installation

Received a notice from your water district requiring backflow installation? We handle the entire process—from determining the correct device type and size to securing permits, completing the installation, and filing all required paperwork. Our goal is to eliminate the stress of compliance and prevent any risk of water service interruption.

System Upgrades and Replacements

Older backflow prevention devices may no longer meet current lead-free requirements or fail to provide adequate protection for your property's needs. We assess existing systems and recommend appropriate upgrades, handling everything from permitting to final certification. Each installation is performed with minimal disruption to your operations or daily routine.

Our Installation Process

We've refined our installation approach over three decades to ensure precision, compliance, and lasting performance:

Site Assessment – Our certified specialists evaluate your property's water service, meter size, and specific requirements to determine the optimal device type and placement location.

Custom Design – For complex installations, we develop detailed plans that account for clearance requirements, accessibility needs, and future maintenance considerations.

Permit Coordination – We manage all permit applications and work directly with water districts to verify compliance before installation begins.

Expert Installation – Our licensed C-36 plumbing contractors install your backflow prevention system to exact specifications, ensuring proper elevation, clearances, and orientation.

Testing and Certification – Every new installation undergoes comprehensive testing to verify proper operation and meets all performance standards.

District Filing – We handle all paperwork submission to your water authority, providing you with copies of every compliance document for your records.

Device Types We Install

Our team is certified to install all makes and models of backflow prevention assemblies:

Reduced Pressure Zone Devices (RPZ) – High-hazard protection for potable water, fire service, and irrigation systems where contamination risk is significant.

Double Check Valve Assemblies (DC) – Low-hazard protection suitable for residential and many commercial applications.

Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVB) – Atmospheric protection commonly used for irrigation systems and specific commercial applications.

Double Check Detector Assemblies (DCDA) – Fire service protection with built-in bypass metering for monitoring unauthorized water use.

We work with industry-leading manufacturers including Wilkins, Febco, Watts, and Ames, selecting the appropriate device based on your property's hazard level, water usage patterns, and district requirements.

Installation Requirements and Compliance

Every backflow prevention system must meet specific installation criteria:

Location Specifications – Devices must be installed above finished grade with proper clearance from sidewalks, meters, and property lines. Most water districts require installation within 18 inches of the water meter or as close to the point of service as possible.

Clearance Standards – Installations require 12 to 36 inches of vertical clearance and adequate space on all sides for annual testing and maintenance access.

Lead-Free Compliance – All new installations must use lead-free components as mandated by federal and state regulations. We exclusively install approved lead-free devices that meet current standards.

Testing Requirements – Every new installation must be tested immediately following completion and annually thereafter to maintain compliance and ensure ongoing protection.
