Annual Backflow Testing for Florence Homes
In Florence, the first question is often who sent the notice. Homes in town usually get water from the city utility, while properties out in the county may be served by a water supply corporation, and each provider keeps its own list of assemblies and its own form. The notice tells us which assembly is on file and where the results should go, so keep it handy. With that in hand, we can match the device on your property to the provider's record before we connect a test kit, which keeps the report from landing in the wrong file.
The town mixes older homes near downtown with a few newer streets, and the backflow preventer on each can look very different. An older house may have a device added long after it was built, sometimes in an awkward spot by the foundation. A newer home with a lawn system usually has a pressure vacuum breaker near the house or a double check in a yard box. Out on acreage, the assembly may protect a line to a barn or an outdoor hydrant. Each one gets the test sequence that matches its type, with every check measured.
Killeen Backflow Testing is locally owned and operated, and our crew comes down SH-195 to test assemblies in Florence and the ranch land around it. For rural properties, tell us about gates and animals and give directions from SH-195 or FM 487. We record a clear pass or fail on site, and minor grit on a check can sometimes be cleaned out and retested during the same visit. If parts are needed, you get a free quote first. Call to schedule a backflow test in Florence and keep your provider's notice where we can see it.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Florence property is outside town. Who gets my backflow test results?
Properties outside the city limits are often served by a water supply corporation rather than the city utility, and the notice you received names the provider and how it wants results sent. We follow those instructions when we file. If you never got a notice but know you have a testable assembly, your water provider can usually tell you whether it has the device on record.
Do I need to be there for a backflow test at my Florence home?
Often not, especially when the assembly is outside and easy to reach. Leave the gate unlocked, keep dogs or livestock away from the work area and tell us where the device is. On acreage, a short note about which gate to use and how to find the assembly from SH-195 or FM 487 saves time. Indoor assemblies need someone home to let our tester in.
Why do I have to get my backflow preventer tested every year?
Backflow preventers have springs, rubber seats and moving parts that wear out or foul over time, and a failure is usually invisible from the outside. Most water providers require a test at installation and then on a regular schedule, often annually, so they know each connection is still protecting the public supply. Your notice from the water provider will tell you what applies to your Florence property and when the test is due.
What happens if my backflow assembly fails the test?
A failed test means one or more parts did not hold the pressure they should. Often the cause is debris, mineral scale or a worn rubber part. We will explain which section failed and whether a cleaning, a rebuild kit or a replacement makes the most sense. After any repair, the assembly has to be tested again, and we send the passing results to your water provider so your record is complete.
