When water flows the wrong way, the risk is serious
Backflow occurs when water pressure drops suddenly — during a water main break, heavy fire suppression, or irrigation demands — and contaminated water reverses course into your clean water supply. Sewage, pesticides, and chemicals can enter the water you drink and cook with.
Many Houston-area municipalities require annual backflow preventer testing on irrigation systems and commercial connections. Failing to test or maintain these devices puts your household at risk and can result in fines or water service interruption.
Signs of a failing backflow preventer include discolored water, unexpected changes in water pressure, visible leaking from the device, or a failed annual test. These are not situations to wait on.
Professional backflow testing and repair
Weatherford Air & Heating performs certified backflow preventer testing, inspection, and repair for residential and light commercial properties. We document results and file test reports with the municipality when required.
If your device fails testing or shows signs of wear, we repair or replace it promptly — using quality, code-compliant components. Our plumbers understand Houston's local requirements and ensure your system stays in compliance.
Inspection-Backed Certification
Camera Inspection Alongside Every Backflow Test
Backflow testing confirms the device is working. A camera inspection confirms your supply-side plumbing is free of cross-connections and intrusions that the backflow preventer alone cannot catch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need annual backflow testing?
Most Houston-area municipalities require annual testing on irrigation system backflow preventers and commercial connections. Residential domestic lines may also require testing depending on local code. We can confirm your specific requirements.
What happens if my backflow preventer fails the test?
We repair or replace the device and retest it on the same visit in most cases. A replacement unit is issued a new test report and your compliance record is updated.
How long does backflow testing take?
A standard residential backflow test takes 30 to 45 minutes. If repair or replacement is needed, allow one to two hours depending on the device type.
