Backflow Testing in East Lake Village Done Right the First Time

Below-grade devices can sit in standing water after winter storms, which corrodes brass fittings and causes relief valve failures. We see more corroded assemblies on lakefront streets than inland. We inspect the device elevation and recommend relocation above grade when flooding is a recurring issue. If the assembly is already corroded, we rebuild or replace it with stainless steel or brass components rated for wet environments.

Most East Lake Village associations require proof of annual testing by a specific date. Miss it and you get a notice, a fine, or both. The spring rush makes scheduling tight. We track your test date and send reminders before the deadline. During peak season, we block extra time for East Lake Village routes so we can get you on the schedule within a few days, not weeks.

Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s around Fairmont Knolls and Kerrigan Ranch often have discontinued backflow preventers. Parts are hard to find, and the devices fail more often. We stock rebuild kits for common older models and carry replacement assemblies on the truck. If your device is obsolete, we'll swap it for a current Watts or Febco model and test it the same day.

This is the state regulation that mandates annual backflow testing and certification for all assemblies. It's why your water district sends you a notice every year. We test to this standard and file the paperwork.

Orange County requires backflow testers to hold current certification. Our testers are certified, which means your test report is valid and accepted by the water district without question.

We follow AWWA procedures for testing RPZ, double check, and PVB assemblies. This is the industry standard that water districts recognize. It ensures your test results are accurate and defensible.
