Backflow Services

Annual testing is the baseline standard set by most California water purveyors and county health departments. Some jurisdictions in LA County and Orange County require more frequent checks — every six months for medical, food-service, or high-hazard facilities. Plumbing Squad tracks your testing cycle, files the required reports with your water agency, and sends a reminder before each due date so you never get hit with a non-compliance notice. CSLB #1081283 lets us test, repair, and certify in one visit.

Yes — most failed RPZ (reduced pressure zone), DCVA (double check valve), or pressure vacuum breaker assemblies can be rebuilt in place same-day if we have the right parts on the truck. Common failures are spring-driven check disc wear, relief valve diaphragm fatigue, or fouled shutoffs. If the assembly is condemned, we replace with a like-for-like model (Watts, Wilkins, Febco, Apollo) and re-test for certification on the same call. We always provide a written test report.

Yes — water service to the protected building must be shut off briefly during testing or repair. For a typical commercial or residential assembly the shutoff is 5–15 minutes; for a full rebuild expect 30–60 minutes. We coordinate timing in advance — early morning, after-hours, or weekend slots — to minimize impact on tenants, customers, or critical operations. For multi-tenant buildings we notify each unit before shutdown.

Yes — Plumbing Squad services campus environments, HOA portfolios, multi-tenant retail, and restaurant groups across LA County and Orange County. We can dispatch a tester to multiple assemblies in a single visit, file consolidated reports to your water agency, and maintain a tracking spreadsheet for your facilities manager.
