Why it matters
A backflow preventer keeps irrigation water from flowing backward into the potable supply when pressure changes. Contaminated water in city lines is not a theoretical problem. It is the reason these devices are required. If your irrigation draws from potable water, you almost certainly need an approved assembly. In most places it is illegal not to have one.

Need a backflow preventer installed?
Older systems (DIY or contractor) sometimes lack the correct assembly. Confirm permit and code requirements with your city first. Then hire a contractor who will install to pass inspection. Cities differ; we keep you in compliance for the jurisdictions we serve across Lubbock and surrounding counties.
Frequently asked questions
Is backflow testing required in Lubbock?
Most jurisdictions require approved backflow protection on irrigation systems that draw from potable water, plus periodic testing by a licensed tester. Rules vary by city. We test, repair, and provide written certification for compliance.
What happens if my backflow assembly fails the test?
We diagnose the failure, repair or replace to manufacturer specs when possible, re-test, and issue certification when it passes. Do not remove or bypass a backflow assembly yourself.
My backflow is leaking. Is that urgent?
A drip is not cosmetic. It can waste water, freeze-damage the assembly, and signal internal failure. Call for service, especially before winter.
