WHAT IS A BACKFLOW VALVE?
Our municipal water systems are a vital part of our community’s health and environment. Therefore, the state (TCEQ) regulated through your local city backflow program, requires an annual inspection by a licensed tester on all backflow devices, including irrigation and industrial applications. Backflow devices are installed where there is a risk of cross contamination to your municipal water supply. These devices prevent water from your system, building, etc. from flowing back into the municipal water supply. ABI can schedule an inspection for your system usually within 2 to 3 business days. Most residential irrigation systems can be inspected without the homeowner being present, providing that the valve is accessible to the tester. A copy of your report and invoice will be left for you. The original reports will be filed with the city backflow office within two business days. We will also send you out an invoice for rental properties or vacation homes.
