Backflow Testing and Repair for Clyde Homeowners

Backflow is the unwanted reverse flow of water in a plumbing system. When backflow occurs, contaminated water from irrigation systems, boilers, fire suppression systems, or other non-potable sources can flow backward into your clean drinking water supply. This is a serious public health risk. Total Quality Plumbing provides certified backflow prevention assembly testing and repair throughout Clyde, TX and the Big Country.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires backflow prevention assemblies at cross-connections where potable water systems connect to potential sources of contamination. These assemblies must be tested annually by a licensed tester to verify they are functioning correctly. Failure to comply can result in fines and disconnection of water service.

Jacob Gonzalez holds TCEQ Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester License #BP0020975, making Total Quality Plumbing fully certified to test, repair, and replace all types of backflow prevention assemblies. We serve residential properties, commercial buildings, and irrigation systems throughout the Big Country.
