Backflow Repair & Installation in Tempe, AZ
Tempe requires every backflow prevention assembly to be tested when it's installed and then every year on the anniversary of that first test. When an irrigation assembly at your apartment community, HOA or commercial property fails, Pro Turf repairs, rebuilds or replaces it and coordinates with your Tempe-registered tester for the retest.
How Tempe's backflow program works
Tempe gives you 45 days' notice. Don't spend 44 of them looking for a repair crew.
Under Tempe City Code Chapter 33, the property owner pays for the annual test and must use a certified tester registered with the city. Tempe mails a notice 45 days before the test is due and an overdue notice if results aren't posted on time, and enforcement can include shutting off water service.
If an assembly is stolen and replaced, or relocated, Tempe requires a plumbing permit, and the replacement must be the same type of assembly. The city also asks owners to keep test and repair records for at least three years, so we'll give you a record of every repair for your files.
Many Tempe properties pair this with grounds maintenance in Tempe and irrigation repair in Tempe, so one team handles the whole property.
