Expert Annual Backflow Testing in Lubbock, TX

Annual backflow testing keeps contaminated water from flowing backward into Lubbock's drinking water supply. When pressure drops or fluctuates in the city's water lines, a failing backflow preventer can pull irrigation water, chemicals, or other non-potable water into your clean supply. That is a real risk for Lubbock properties with connected irrigation systems, commercial fire suppression lines, or boiler feeds. The City of Lubbock requires backflow prevention assemblies to be tested by a licensed tester who is registered with the city and holds a current TCEQ license. After testing, results must be submitted to Lubbock Water Utilities on the city's official Test and Maintenance Form. At 1213 Plumbing LLC, we handle the full process: visual inspection, pressure differential checks on all check valves and relief valves, pass or fail documentation, and report submission to the city. If your device fails, we walk you through repair or replacement options before we leave. Call us to schedule your Lubbock backflow test and stay on the right side of city requirements.

Annual Backflow Testing FAQ

Common questions about annual backflow testing in Lubbock, TX.

Yes, the City of Lubbock requires backflow prevention assemblies to be tested by a TCEQ-licensed tester registered with the city. Commercial systems are tested annually, and residential irrigation systems are tested on a schedule set by the city.

Your licensed tester submits the completed Test and Maintenance Form to Lubbock Water Utilities after the test. At 1213 Plumbing LLC, we handle that paperwork and submission for you.

A failed device needs to be repaired or replaced before your property is back in compliance. We review your options with you on the spot so you can decide how to move forward.

Yes, your backflow preventer is connected to the water supply whether the irrigation system is active or not. The City of Lubbock requires testing based on the assembly type, not current usage.

No, only a tester who holds a current TCEQ backflow prevention assembly tester license and is registered with the City of Lubbock can legally perform and submit the test. Always confirm your tester meets both requirements.

A licensed tester inspects the device visually, connects calibrated gauges to the test ports, and checks pressure differentials across the check valves and relief valve. The results are recorded on the city's official form and submitted to Lubbock Water Utilities.

I have the pleasure of having Rudy take care of a bad faucet and a hot water replacement. Rudy was super pleasant, always on time, and made the process so smooth. He is very knowledgeable and I will happily use 1213 Plumbing again if the need arises. I would reccomend them 10 out 10 times.

Rudy is great! We have used his services three times now and I won’t be using anyone else again! He replaced our gas pipes and brought our gas appliances up to code a few months ago. Today, he fished a rubber duck from our toilet. He has always been quick to respond, honest and fairly priced! I definitely recommend him over anyone else!

Rudy helped us with a drain cleaning 2 months ago, so when we had some major issues with our kitchen remodel, we called him. He was able to figure out the problem and worked diligently to find the least invasive solution that would hopefully resolve the issue. When that didn't work he came back the next day to replace a section of the main kitchen drain pipe and get our drain working properly. We will use him again when we start our bathroom remodel. Rudy is a master plumber and a great guy!

Professional, on-time, very knowledgeable, friendly, reasonably priced. Rudy and his son were very easy to talk to and deal with. They solved my plumbing issues and were pleasant to have in the house. They even answered all the questions I had while they were working. I'll recommend 1213 Plumbing to anyone who asks for a plumber recommendation.
