Protect Your Water Supply with Professional Backflow Services

Backflow prevention isn’t just a plumbing upgrade—it’s a legal and safety requirement. At Santa Barbara Plumbing and Rooter, we offer certified backflow testing, installation, and repair services for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you need annual testing to stay in compliance or emergency repairs to a failing device, our licensed technicians provide fast, professional service you can count on.

What Is Backflow and Why Does It Matter?

Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows in the wrong direction and enters your clean water supply. This can happen due to changes in water pressure caused by a burst pipe, mainline break, or even nearby construction.

To prevent this, properties are often required to install backflow prevention assemblies (BPAs) that act as one-way gates—ensuring that water only flows in the right direction. These devices must be tested regularly and repaired if they fail to meet code.

Annual Backflow Testing

State and local codes require annual testing of backflow prevention devices to ensure they’re working properly. Our team is fully certified to perform this testing and provide all necessary documentation for your records and city inspections.

We handle:
• Residential backflow testing for irrigation and domestic systems
• Commercial testing for restaurants, apartments, retail centers, and industrial buildings
• Multi-unit properties with multiple backflow assemblies
• Filing reports with the appropriate municipal agency on your behalf

We make the process easy, transparent, and efficient—minimizing any disruption to your water service.

Backflow Device Repairs & Replacements

If your backflow device fails a test or is damaged, we provide expert repair and replacement services. In many cases, a faulty seal, worn check valve, or corroded component can be repaired on-site. If the device is too old or damaged to repair, we’ll recommend a modern replacement that meets all current regulations.

We service all major brands and types of backflow assemblies, including:
• Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVB)
• Double Check Valve Assemblies (DCVA)
• Reduced Pressure Zone Devices (RPZ)

Our team will walk you through the repair or replacement process and ensure your water system is safe and up to code.
