California law requires annual backflow testing to prevent irrigation contaminants from entering Sacramento's water supply. Our certified testers handle everything from 1920s bungalow systems to large commercial installations.
We specialize in the complex valve assemblies common in Sacramento's older neighborhoods, where aging pipes increase contamination risks. Testing includes full documentation for submission to SMUD and the City of Sacramento—we know exactly which forms each jurisdiction requires.
For failed tests, we carry all common repair parts on our trucks to minimize downtime. We also install new assemblies to current code standards, particularly important for homes undergoing renovation in Midtown's historic districts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Sacramento require annual testing?
Our clay soil's shifting can misalign valves over time, while older pipes have higher contamination risks.
My test failed—what's the next step?
We typically repair or replace assemblies same-day using parts that meet Sacramento's strict lead-free requirements.
