Backflow Repair & Installation
Professional Plumbing Specialists for over 65 Years
Protecting Your Home & Business Since 1957
Protecting your home’s clean water supply is a critical priority. At Befort Plumbing & Heating, we provide certified backflow testing, repair, and installation services to ensure that contaminated water never flows backward into your drinking water system.
Professional plumbing repairs, installations, and maintenance tailored to your home and budget.
What is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when a sudden drop in water pressure (caused by things like a nearby fire hydrant being used or a water main break) causes water to flow in the opposite direction. This can “suck” fertilizers, pesticides, or soapy water from your yard or appliances back into your home’s clean water lines.
Our Professional Services
Recommended Backflow Preventer
Annual Backflow Testing: Most Colorado municipalities require annual testing of backflow assemblies. Our certified technicians perform these tests quickly and submit all required paperwork to the city on your behalf.
Backflow Repair: If your device fails its annual test, we can often repair it by replacing internal seals, springs, or check valves, saving you the cost of a full replacement.
New Installations: We install high-quality backflow prevention assemblies for new construction, irrigation upgrades, or to replace aging, non-compliant units.
For residential irrigation and light commercial use, we recommend the Watts 009 Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Assembly. It provides the highest level of protection by discharging water if a backflow condition occurs.
Best For: High-hazard applications like irrigation or boilers.
Feature: Integrated “Y” pattern design for easy maintenance.

Quick Faqs
Why is backflow testing required every year?
Backflow preventers have internal seals and moving parts that wear out over time. Annual testing ensures the device will actually work during a pressure drop, protecting both your family and the public water supply from contamination.
What are the signs that my backflow preventer is failing?
Common signs include water constantly leaking from the relief valve, a noticeable drop in water pressure throughout your home, or discolored/foul-smelling water coming from your taps.
Can a backflow preventer freeze during a Denver winter?
Yes. Because these devices are often located outdoors, they are susceptible to freezing. We provide winterization services and insulated enclosures to protect your assembly from Colorado’s sub-zero temperatures.
What happens if my device fails the annual test?
If it fails, we can usually perform an on-site repair by cleaning the internal components or replacing the rubber seals. Once repaired, we re-test the unit immediately to ensure it is compliant.
Who is responsible for submitting backflow test results?
Our certified technicians handle the entire process. We perform the test and submit the certified results directly to your local water purveyor (like Denver Water or Englewood Utilities) for you.
Do you provide commercial plumbing services in Englewood and the surrounding areas?
Yes. In addition to our residential expertise, we provide full-scale commercial plumbing and heating services for businesses, retail centers, and multi-family properties across the Front Range. From grease trap maintenance to large-scale boiler repairs, we have the experience to keep your business running smoothly.
