Backflow Testing & Prevention

Backflow Testing & Prevention in Weatherford

Protecting Parker County's Water with Certified Backflow Prevention

Clean water is something most of us take for granted until something goes wrong. As a property owner in Parker County, you carry an important responsibility to protect the quality of our shared water supply. Backflow is one of the most serious threats to that water. When pressure changes cause water to reverse direction, contaminants from your property can flow backward into the public drinking water system.

That's where backflow prevention comes in. Local regulations require specific devices to stop this reversal, and those devices need annual testing to keep working correctly.

At Chris' Plumbing, we provide complete backflow services for homes and businesses across Weatherford and Parker County. We handle installation, testing, repairs, and all the paperwork so you stay compliant, and your water stays safe.

Get the process started for your backflow testing & prevention in Weatherford; schedule service by calling (817) 580-5500 or contact us online.

What Causes Backflow?

Backflow occurs when water flows in the wrong direction through your pipes. Instead of moving from the city supply into your property, it reverses course and pushes contaminated water back into the public system.

Two main situations cause this problem:

Back-siphonage. When firefighters draw massive amounts of water from city mains or a water main break, it creates a vacuum effect. This vacuum can actually suck water from your property's plumbing system back into the public water lines.
Back-pressure. If your building's plumbing system develops higher pressure than the municipal supply (common with boilers, rooftop tanks, or pump systems), it can force water to flow in the wrong direction.

The consequences are serious. Irrigation systems can push fertilizers and pesticides into drinking water. Industrial equipment can introduce chemicals. Even residential systems with pools or heating equipment pose contamination risks. A backflow preventer acts as a one-way valve, blocking contaminated water from entering the public supply.

Why Annual Backflow Testing Matters

Parker County requires annual backflow testing for good reason.

Testing verifies that every component works correctly. Seals wear out. Springs lose tension. Valves collect debris and stick. These mechanical failures happen gradually, and you won't notice until it's too late. A trained technician can catch these problems before they become contamination events.

Missing your annual test creates immediate compliance issues with local water authorities. But the real concern goes deeper. Without proper testing, your backflow preventer might fail when you need it most, putting your neighbors' drinking water at risk.

Our Backflow Prevention Services

We handle every aspect of backflow prevention for homes and businesses throughout the Weatherford area, from Aledo to Springtown. Our services cover initial installation, annual testing and certification, plus any repairs or replacements needed to keep your system working correctly. Our team has experience with all makes and models, keeping your property compliant and your water safe.

When we arrive for testing, we perform a detailed multi-point inspection using specialized pressure gauges to verify that check valves hold securely and all components function within safety parameters. Water quality depends on this process, so we take it seriously.

If your device passes, we handle the paperwork and submit it to local authorities, plus attach a new certification tag. If it fails, we explain the problem clearly and give you straightforward repair or replacement options.
