ATTENTION: WE DO NOT TEST FIRE PROTECTION BACKFLOW VALVES in Irving, only a fire protection contractor can test these. Please make sure of this before scheduling the service, the 49.00 trip fee will still be applied if we are scheduled and we cannot test the device!

Back-flow protection is a process using Back-flow prevention devices to prevent a foreign source to enter the potable water supply. There are over 10,000 cases reported each year of contamination, most reported are severe and even fatal. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TECQ) has made it mandatory for all commercial, industrial, and residential buildings to have back-flow prevention devices installed to prevent this from happening. These Back-flow prevention devices can be tested; and are now required to be tested annually. Your home, restaurant or building’s back-flow assembly system(s) must be tested annually, and a report from a licensed back-flow assembly tester (BPAT) must be filed with the city your business resides in.

There are several back-flow testing companies out there, but few are also plumbers. If your back-flow assembly was to fail the annual inspection (which is very common), the tester you hire cannot replace the back-flow assembly; a licensed Irving plumber must do the installation. You still owe this tester his fees, and you have to have the assembly re-tested after the installation. At Jimmy Cash Plumbing we are licensed to Test, Install, and Repair your back-flow assembly in Irving and the mid-cities; giving you a one trip one solution service. We also can remind you about your annual testing (at no charge) before the city begins to cite you, giving you one less worry for your business.

All back-flow assembly’s that are tested by Jimmy Cash Plumbing are guaranteed to pass any inspection done by the state or city municipality. All repairs made on back-flow prevention valves are guaranteed for a period of 90 days. Any back-flow device that fails the testing procedures and need replacement will be tested for FREE upon completion. Jimmy Cash Plumbing also guarantees your building’s water supply will be protected and safe for the public when we service your plumbing!

Every testing situation is different, so each individual test has a different price. On average, with the service charge our customers bill is 149.00. This is in the event that the testing situation is in the best possible environment and the back-flow valve passes.
