Backflow Testing in Gatesville, Texas

Gatesville is the Coryell County seat, and the Leon River runs past the town. Inside the city you'll find older homes near the courthouse square, newer subdivisions on the outskirts, and businesses along SH-36 and US-84. Restaurants, medical and dental offices, churches, schools, car washes and apartment complexes can each have backflow assemblies on domestic, irrigation or fire lines. Outside town, Coryell County is farm and ranch country, so homes on acreage often have backflow preventers protecting the lines to barns, stock troughs and pasture hydrants. In town, a typical home sprinkler system uses a pressure vacuum breaker near the house or a double check in a valve box set in the yard.

Most Gatesville customers call after a notice from the water provider says an assembly is due. In town that's usually the city utility, and outside town it's often a water supply corporation. Keep the notice, since it lists the assembly and where the results go. Businesses around the Coryell County Courthouse square or along SH-36 can plan a short water shutoff for a slow part of the day. If you have more than one assembly, such as a church with a kitchen and a sprinkler system, or a ranch with one at the house and one at the barn, we'll test them on the same visit. Directions, gate codes and notes about animals help.

Gatesville gets the full range of Central Texas weather: long, hot summers, heavy spring storms and the occasional hard freeze that can crack an exposed backflow preventer overnight. Assemblies on barns and pasture lines are the most exposed, since they sit far from any heat and often in open wind. Insulated covers, enclosures and draining seasonal lines before a freeze all help. In town, below-grade valve boxes fill with soil and water, which hides test cocks and speeds up corrosion. The local water is hard, so mineral scale builds on check seats and relief valves over time. We clear the box, test the assembly and tell you what we see.

Your water provider may require testing when an assembly is installed, after any repair or relocation, and usually once a year after that. Each provider sets its own report forms and timing, so we follow what your notice asks for. Killeen Backflow Testing is locally owned and operated, and our crew covers Gatesville and the farm roads around it. If an assembly fails, we'll show you what failed, give you a free quote for repair or replacement, and retest after the work is done. Call to schedule a backflow test in Gatesville, or a visit for a farm, a business or a property with several assemblies due.
