About ATX BackFlow
ATX BackFlow is a small, certified backflow testing and repair team serving Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, and Hutto. Founded in 2022 by testers who wanted to do backflow work differently, the company specializes in testing residential and commercial backflow prevention assemblies from half-inch domestic systems to twelve-inch commercial installations.
Three core services: annual certified testing with documentation and paperwork filed to your water authority, repair of failed assemblies (most failures are repairable without replacement), and full rebuild of older units using OEM-spec parts. The team holds itself to three non-negotiable standards: repair before replacement, file every report, and show up on time.
TCEQ licensed, insured, and committed to protecting the public water supply. Same-week scheduling available across the greater Austin service area.

Questions people ask
What happens during a backflow test?
A typical residential test takes less than thirty minutes. The team performs a visual inspection, isolates the assembly, connects calibrated test equipment, tests the check valves and relief valve if applicable, documents the results, and submits the report to the local water authority. If the device passes, you get a copy of the report. If it fails, they walk you through repair options.
Can a failed backflow preventer be repaired?
Most failures can be repaired without replacing the whole assembly. Common repairable issues include debris in check valves, damaged rubber seals, worn springs, freeze damage, and corrosion. The team diagnoses the failure, performs component replacement if needed, and re-tests the device. Replacement is the last option, not the default.
Are ATX BackFlow testers certified and insured?
Yes. Every tester is licensed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the company carries general liability insurance. Credentials and insurance proof are available on request. They are also registered with the reporting platforms used by water authorities across their service area.
