We test, repair, and install backflow prevention assemblies for irrigation systems and commercial properties across Queen Creek, and submit your compliance report directly.
If you have an irrigation system connected to your home or business's water supply, the Town of Queen Creek requires an annual backflow assembly test, tracked through its BSI Online system. We're a certified tester and handle the whole process, including submitting your report.
A backflow preventer stops water from reversing direction and flowing back into the public drinking water system. That matters because a pressure drop in the main system, like one caused by a water main break or heavy firefighting draw nearby, can otherwise pull water, and anything mixed into it on your property, back into the supply lines serving other homes. It's a real cross-connection safeguard, not paperwork for its own sake, which is why testing is required annually rather than left to chance.
A certified tester connects a calibrated gauge to the assembly and checks that each internal check valve holds pressure correctly and that the relief valve opens as designed under a pressure drop. If any part fails to hold, that's recorded as a failed test, and the assembly needs repair or replacement before it can pass. We carry common repair parts for the assembly types most used in this area, so a failed test often gets resolved and retested in the same visit.

A typical residence with a single irrigation-connected backflow assembly has one annual test to track. Commercial properties often have several assemblies, covering irrigation, fire suppression, and sometimes process equipment, each potentially on a different testing schedule depending on the hazard level it protects against. We handle both, and for commercial properties with multiple assemblies, we can track and remind you ahead of each due date rather than leaving that to chance.
If you've recently had irrigation installed on a newer Queen Creek property, the backflow assembly should have been installed and registered as part of that work, but it's worth confirming it actually was rather than assuming. We can verify whether a device is properly registered in the town's tracking system and get it set up correctly if it was missed. That happens more often than you'd expect on new installs, especially when irrigation was added after the original build rather than during it.
Not sure if you're compliant? Call (480) 741-9332 and we'll check.
If you've owned your home for a while and have never had a backflow test done, that's worth addressing regardless of whether you've received a notice, since a device that's never been tested may have been failing quietly for years without your knowledge. We can locate your assembly, run the first test, and get you into the town's regular tracking system going forward.

Call to schedule your certified test and get compliant.
If you have an irrigation system connected to your water supply, yes. Queen Creek's water division tracks annual backflow assembly test reports through its BSI Online system, and testing is required for compliance.
We repair or replace the failed assembly and retest it, then submit the passing report as required. A failed device isn't unusual on an older assembly and is a normal part of the testing process.
It stops water, and anything that might be mixed into it on your property, like fertilizer or pool chemicals, from flowing backward into the public drinking water supply if pressure in the system drops. It's a real public health safeguard, not a formality.
Commercial properties, especially those with irrigation, fire suppression, or certain equipment, often have more assemblies to test and stricter compliance expectations. We handle both.
A standard test typically takes 30 to 45 minutes per assembly, and we submit the report as part of the visit.
