Expert RPZ Backflow Prevention Repair in Lubbock, TX

RPZ backflow prevention repair keeps contaminated water from flowing back into Lubbock's public water supply. A reduced pressure zone assembly uses a pressure differential to block reverse flow. When the assembly fails, drips, or loses pressure, it can no longer do that job. At 1213 Plumbing LLC, we inspect the full assembly, identify the failing component, and repair it to bring it back into working condition. After repair, the assembly must be retested by a licensed tester and results submitted to the City of Lubbock, as required by city ordinance and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality rules. Both residential and commercial properties in Lubbock are subject to these requirements. Irrigation systems tied to the city water supply are a common repair trigger, especially after freeze-thaw cycles on the South Plains. If your assembly has failed a test or is visibly leaking, call 1213 Plumbing LLC to schedule a repair assessment.

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.
