Need Backflow Testing or Repair? We can help
Our licensed plumbers provide stress-free, city-approved backflow services across Killeen, Temple, and Copperas Cove.
Why Backflow Testing Matters
Backflow prevention devices protect your drinking water by keeping contaminants out of the clean water supply. If you own a sprinkler system or commercial property, your city likely requires annual backflow testing to remain compliant.
We’re registered with the cities of Killeen, Temple, Copperas Cove, and surrounding areas to legally perform testing and submit results directly to your local water department.
We're happy to help you with your residential backflow needs!
Did you know that you don't need to be home for us to test your backflow? We'll email you an invoice and then send the results to the city upon payment.

How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?If you notice slow draining sinks, frequent clogs, unpleasant odors, or gurgling sounds, it's time to call a professional. These are signs of buildup or a deeper blockage that DIY methods can’t fully resolve.
-
What’s the difference between a clogged drain and a sewer line blockage?A single clogged drain usually means a localized issue. If multiple fixtures are draining slowly or backing up, the problem is likely in the main sewer line, which requires specialized sewer line cleaning or inspection.
-
What methods do you use for drain cleaning?We use a variety of professional grade drain snakes and augers depending on the severity and location of the blockage. For deeper issues, we offer sewer camera inspections to identify the exact problem.
-
Is sewer camera inspection really necessary?Yes, sewer camera inspection is highly recommended, especially for recurring drain problems or suspected sewer damage. A camera inspection helps us locate cracks, tree roots, or collapsed pipes, allowing for precise and targeted repairs. This non-invasive method saves time and reduces the need for extensive digging.
-

We believe in adhering to all local regulations and building codes to ensure the safety and legality of our work. Pulling permits is an essential part of our process to guarantee that our installations and repairs meet the necessary standards and are approved by the relevant authorities.
-
How do I know if the leak is in my yard and not in my home?We isolate the water supply and test pressure in different zones to determine where the leak is occurring.
-
How long does a slab leak repair take?Most repairs are completed within 1-2 days depending on the severity and location of the leak.
