Most people don't call us because they suddenly became interested in backflow testing. They call because they received a notice, noticed a leak, or discovered a device on their property they didn't know existed.

A large percentage of Chapel Hill backflow testing calls begin with confusion.
Homeowners in neighborhoods like Meadowmont, Southern Village, Governors Village, and Briar Chapel often receive a testing notice and immediately start looking around the property trying to figure out what needs to be tested.
Sometimes the device is beside an irrigation meter. Sometimes it is hidden behind landscaping. Sometimes it has not been touched since the home was built.
One of the most common things we hear is:
"I received a backflow letter and honestly have no idea where the assembly is."
That conversation happens several times every year. Before the test even begins, our technician is often helping locate the equipment.
April 2026 – Meadowmont A homeowner called after receiving a backflow testing notice and assumed it had been sent by mistake. The irrigation system had been installed years before they purchased the home, and they were unaware a backflow preventer was part of the system. When our technician arrived, the assembly was located near the irrigation meter and partially hidden by landscaping. After exposing the test ports, the assembly was tested and passed. The homeowner's biggest concern wasn't the result—it was understanding what the device actually did and why the notice had arrived in the first place.
After arriving, our technician located the assembly behind mature shrubs near the side property line. Once exposed, the device was tested and passed.
The homeowner later joked that finding the assembly was harder than the test itself.
Chapel Hill is a mix of older homes, university-related properties, restaurants, medical facilities, apartment communities, and newer residential developments.
Because of that mix, we test everything from small residential irrigation assemblies to larger commercial backflow preventers protecting domestic water systems.
No two days look exactly the same.
A restaurant manager called after noticing water around a commercial backflow assembly and assumed the entire device had failed.
After testing and inspection, we found the assembly itself was functioning properly. The issue was a leaking valve that could be repaired without replacing the entire assembly.
That distinction saved the customer unnecessary expense and downtime.
