What it is & why it matters
Protecting your water — and staying compliant
A backflow preventer keeps contaminated water from being siphoned back into the clean supply. Most Abilene-area water authorities require these assemblies to be tested every year by a certified tester and the results filed with the city. Miss it, and you can face fines or a shut-off notice.
Double R Plumbing is a certified backflow tester serving Abilene and the surrounding Big Country. Most plumbing shops send backflow work out to a specialist — we do it in-house, which means one call handles the test, any repairs, and the paperwork. Whether it's the annual test your city is asking for, a brand-new install, or a failed assembly that needs a rebuild, we've got the certification and the equipment to take care of it.

Do you test both residential and commercial assemblies?
Yes — homes, businesses, schools, and irrigation systems. Testing, repair, replacement, and annual re-certification. Most plumbers send this work out; we do it in-house.
How much does a backflow test cost?
A certified test in Abilene is $300 all-in — test, trip, and filing the paperwork with your water authority. Outside Abilene a small mileage fee applies. Ask about our 3-Year Backflow Plan to save.
Do you file the paperwork with the city?
Yes. We complete the certified test report and file it directly with your water authority, so you don't have to chase forms or deadlines.
What if my assembly fails the test?
We repair and replace assemblies too — not just test them. If yours fails, we can rebuild or replace it and re-test, usually on the same visit.
