Rivas Backflow Testing - Santa Monica's Professional Plumbing Contractor

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection proactively checks for signs of stress, corrosion, and minor leaks that are common with Santa Monica's dry conditions and hard water. Catching these issues early, especially in outdoor irrigation lines, prevents small problems from becoming major bursts that waste water and cause property damage. It's a key step in drought-conscious home maintenance.

Using the wrong materials or techniques for our local soil and climate can lead to quick failure. We install or replace irrigation pipes with materials rated for drought stress and proper burial depth to resist shifting soil. This correct installation minimizes the risk of underground leaks, which are a major source of water waste and can go unnoticed for months, hurting both your wallet and our community's conservation efforts.

We frequently repair cracked sprinkler heads, leaking hose bibs (outdoor faucets), and damaged irrigation valve boxes. These are often the first points of failure due to sun exposure and pressure fluctuations. A timely repair on these components stops significant water loss, protects your landscaping from over/under-watering, and helps you avoid surprise spikes on your LADWP bill.
