Will use for any future plumbing needs. Had a 70 ft buried gas line installed for a generator along with Riser and regulator. They showed up on time for both the estimate and the work. Finish the work in a timely manner communicated every step of the way there were no surprises. 100% recommend.
Backflow Prevention and Testing
A backflow preventer stops water from your building running backwards into the public supply. Most commercial properties, and a lot of irrigation systems, are required to have one and to have it tested on a schedule set by the water purveyor or the local authority.
GarSan installs, repairs and replaces backflow assemblies, and arranges the testing and certification. Testing is carried out by a qualified tester where the jurisdiction requires one. All work is performed under the supervision of Responsible Master Plumber Jose Garcia, RMP #44229.

How we handle it
What to expect
Find out what is required
The requirement comes from the water purveyor or the local authority, and it differs between them. We establish what yours actually asks for.
Inspect the assembly
We check the type, size and condition of what is installed, and whether it suits the hazard on the property.
Test or repair
Testing is carried out by a qualified tester. If it fails, we quote the repair or replacement before doing it.
Certify and file
The result goes to whoever asked for it, so the requirement is closed out properly.

What customers say
Responsive, easy to work with. Clearly explained the issues and the options. We are a small business and will definitely keep Jose on speed dial.
Jose from GarSan Plumbing Services came out to assess and locate a water leak that had caused significant damage inside my home. He was punctual, or early, for each visit and spent the time required to assess the situation and provide cost effective solutions. I think he did a fantastic job and I would definitely call him again when I need plumbing work in the future. Thank you!

Questions
Backflow Prevention & Testing FAQ
Not answered here? Call and ask. We would rather talk it through.
How often does a backflow preventer need testing?
For most commercial properties it is annual, but the interval is set by your water purveyor or local authority rather than by us. Tell us who sent you the notice and we will tell you what it requires.
Does my house need one?
Usually not for ordinary domestic plumbing. It is normally required where there is a specific hazard, an irrigation system tied into the supply, or a commercial use. We will tell you honestly if you do not need one.
Who performs the test?
Testing and certification is carried out by a qualified tester where the jurisdiction requires one. Not every plumber holds that endorsement, so it is a fair question to ask anyone quoting you for it.
What happens if it fails?
We tell you what failed and what it costs to repair or replace, and we do not carry out the additional work until you have approved it.
