Earl’s Plumbing & Heating provides certified backflow prevention testing and repair for homes and businesses across Metairie, Kenner, and New Orleans. Annual testing keeps contaminated water from flowing back into the clean drinking supply and keeps you compliant with local water authority requirements.
Backflow happens when a drop in pressure lets used or contaminated water reverse direction into your potable lines. A backflow preventer stops that, but it has to be tested regularly to prove it still works. Our certified technicians test, document, and repair or replace assemblies, then handle the paperwork your water provider requires.
We inspect and test the backflow assembly, verify it holds pressure correctly, replace worn parts when needed, and submit the certified results. If a device fails, we can repair or replace it and retest the same visit whenever possible.
Most water authorities require certified backflow testing once a year. Some commercial and high hazard properties may need it more often. Earl’s tracks your schedule and can remind you when it is due.
A failed device means it is no longer protecting your water supply and must be repaired or replaced. Our certified technicians can service or swap the assembly and retest it, often on the same visit, then file the passing results.
If you have irrigation, a pool, a fire line, or a commercial connection, yes, and it is usually required by code. It protects your family and neighbors from contaminated water reversing into the drinking supply.
Due for certification? Call Earl’s Plumbing & Heating at 504-888-8888 for backflow prevention testing in Metairie, Kenner, and New Orleans.
I have used Earl’s numerous times. First was to do a pipe inspection when we purchased our home. We have since used them to repair a hose bib, multiple drain cleanings, relocate ice maker shut off valve and relocate kitchen sink shut off valves. Whether it’s been an emergency request or scheduled visit, Earl’s has resolved all of our issues timely, professionally, and reasonably. Earl’s has become our “go to” plumbing company and highly recommend them.
We have been using Earl’s Plumbing since Katrinia. They did tunneling under our home. We have used them several times since then They always do a good job. Some of the other projects they have done are fixing a running toilet, running a gas lie to a new stove; putting in new shower heads, installing a new gas hot water heater, and just recently installing new faucets in the kitchen and bar. They are pleasant and come on time.
