Protect Your Water From Contamination

Secure Backflow Prevention in Katy

When water pressure drops suddenly, contaminated water can flow backward into your clean supply, putting your household at risk. Backflow prevention devices stop this reversal, keeping your drinking water safe in Katy homes and businesses. Aba One Plumbing installs, tests, and certifies these devices to meet local safety standards and protect you from hazardous backflow events caused by pressure changes or broken mains.

We work with residential and commercial properties throughout Katy, ensuring that backflow preventers are correctly sized, installed at the right location, and inspected annually. You'll receive documentation that confirms compliance and proper operation, giving you confidence that your water supply is secure.

Schedule backflow installation or annual testing in Katy and safeguard your water quality now.

Details That Matter Most

Backflow prevention starts with installing the right device for your property type and water use. In Katy, we install double-check valves, reduced-pressure zone devices, and atmospheric vacuum breakers depending on your system's complexity and risk level. Each device includes test ports and shutoff valves that allow for annual inspection without disrupting your water service.

Aba One Plumbing inspects and certifies devices to ensure proper operation during pressure changes. We attach a test kit to the ports, simulate pressure drops, and verify that internal springs and check valves respond correctly. Any device that fails testing is repaired or replaced on the spot.

If you're adding an irrigation system, pool fill line, or commercial boiler, we install a backflow preventer as part of the setup. This keeps contaminants from entering your main supply and meets code requirements for new plumbing work.

How do you test a backflow preventer?
We connect a test kit to the device's ports, close shutoff valves, and measure pressure differentials. This confirms that internal check valves seal tightly under simulated backflow conditions.
