About the Company

Q&A
What is involved in a backflow inspection?
Our plumbing inspection for your backflow preventer is a thorough check mandated by local codes to ensure contaminated water cannot reverse flow into the public drinking supply. A certified technician from Southern Backflow Inspections will test the device's pressure and mechanical components, document the results for the water authority, and provide you with a clear report. We handle all the paperwork and notify you well in advance of your scheduled date.
My home has a broken shutoff valve. Can you repair it?
Yes, absolutely. Broken or leaking shutoff valves are a common issue in Metairie homes, often due to age or mineral buildup. As part of our plumbing repair services, we can diagnose the issue, whether it's a simple washer replacement or a full valve swap, ensuring your home's plumbing system is secure and your backflow prevention device remains properly isolated for testing and maintenance.
Why should I choose a company that only does backflow prevention?
Specialization means deeper expertise and greater efficiency. After decades in general plumbing, our founders saw that backflow prevention requires specific knowledge and certified testing. By focusing solely on this critical service, we provide more reliable inspections, faster repairs, and expert installations. Our 5-year service contract also offers price stability and peace of mind, making us a straightforward, long-term partner for your property's compliance needs.
