Why Backflow Prevention Matters for Your Home

Your home’s plumbing system is designed to keep clean water flowing in—and contaminated water flowing out. But without a properly installed and maintained backflow preventer, that boundary can break down. When pressure changes occur in your water line—due to a burst pipe, frozen line, or hydrant use—there’s a risk that dirty water can be siphoned back into your clean water supply. This isn’t just unpleasant—it’s dangerous.

Backflow can introduce everything from lawn chemicals and sewage to bacteria and waste into the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in. That’s why the state of Texas and many municipalities require backflow prevention systems for homes with irrigation, wells, and certain plumbing layouts. At 72 Degrees, we make backflow compliance and protection simple, affordable, and worry-free.

Professional Backflow Preventer Installation & Testing

Backflow preventers aren’t one-size-fits-all. Our licensed plumbers assess your property layout and local code requirements to recommend the right backflow device for your home. We offer professional backflow preventer installation backed by decades of experience serving the Fredericksburg and Texas Hill Country communities.

Once your backflow preventer is in place, annual testing is critical to ensure it’s functioning properly. We provide certified backflow testing services that meet city and state inspection requirements—no stress, no surprise paperwork. We’ll even remind you when it’s time for your next test so you never fall out of compliance.

Signs You May Need Backflow Service

If you notice any of the following, it could point to a backflow issue:

  • Water with a strange odor or color

  • A noticeable change in water pressure

  • Bubbles or sediment in your tap water

  • Rusty water from outdoor spigots

  • Unusual tastes when drinking tap water

Don’t wait to investigate. Contaminated water can be a health hazard. With 24/7 emergency plumbing services, our team is always ready to jump in—day or night—to get your water safe again.
