Backflow Testing & Repair
Backflow testing & repair is one of TCR's core specialties, protecting Flagstaff's drinking water supply on both residential and commercial properties.
A backflow preventer is a small but important device installed anywhere your plumbing has a "cross-connection," a point where a hose, irrigation line, boiler, fire sprinkler system, or piece of commercial equipment connects to the clean water supply. If pressure in the system ever drops or reverses, the backflow preventer is what stops contaminated water from being pulled back into the drinking water line.
Annual Testing
Most water providers require certified annual testing on backflow assemblies to keep them working and stay in compliance. We test the device and file the paperwork for you.
Repair & Replacement
If a device fails testing, we repair or replace it on the spot when possible, so you're not left waiting on a second appointment.
Residential & Commercial
Irrigation systems, fire sprinklers, boilers, and commercial equipment all commonly need backflow protection. We test and service all of them.

Backflow FAQ
-
A backflow preventer stops water from flowing in reverse and pulling contaminants into the clean water supply at a cross-connection, such as an irrigation system, boiler, or fire sprinkler line. If your property has one of these connections, your water provider likely requires a backflow device to be installed and tested. Call 928-773-4905 if you're not sure whether your property has one or where it's located.

If a device fails testing, it usually needs a repair or a part replaced before it can pass and be certified. We carry common parts on our trucks and can often complete the repair and re-test during the same visit. Call 928-773-4905 to get it scheduled.
