Frequently Asked Questions

The backflow testing questions Central Coast property owners ask us most often.

Most backflow prevention assemblies are required to be tested once a year, but your local water provider sets the exact deadline and compliance requirements. If your test is due, we can handle the testing, certification, and paperwork filing so you stay compliant without the hassle.

Backflow happens when contaminated water flows backward into the clean drinking water supply instead of moving in the proper direction. A backflow prevention assembly is designed to stop that from happening. Annual testing confirms the device is working properly and helps protect your property, your drinking water, and the public water system from contamination.

Properties with irrigation systems, fire sprinkler lines, pools, or certain commercial water connections often have a backflow prevention assembly that requires annual testing. If you received a notice from your water provider, that usually means your property has a device on file and the test is due. If you are not sure whether your property has a backflow assembly, we can confirm it and let you know what is required.

If your backflow assembly fails, we will let you know exactly what failed and whether it makes more sense to repair it or replace it. We provide upfront pricing for the recommended work, complete the repair or replacement if you approve it, then retest the assembly and file the certification once it passes.

A standard backflow test is usually completed in under an hour for a single assembly. There is a brief interruption to the water supply during the test itself, but we schedule it at a time that works for you and handle the certification paperwork afterward so the process stays simple on your end.

Testimonials

What Central Coast Neighbors Say

Real stories from homeowners who needed a plumber they could count on, and got a crew that treated their home like it mattered.

“Tito's is the best! They re-piped my entire house at a great price, met all deadlines, and kept me informed every step of the way. Friendly, fast, and fair priced!”
Stephen Stern
“Tito's crew, Juan and Matt, showed up on time and replaced 3 toilets and two sink faucets. They were here approximately 4 hours, did a fantastic job, were very careful with the installs, and left the floors and sinks clean. Professional, polite, and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”
Mimi Lamp
“Professional, speedy, and reliable! Jose G. was a wiz and really made sure the process was smooth and that we're happy with the work. Ladies, it's easy to be overlooked or talked down to; not with Tito's Plumbing! We have the best installed water heater in town.”
Rachel Talley
“Tito's was able to figure out a plumbing issue I had with a shower that 3 other plumbers could not figure out or wanted to tackle. An hour and a half after they arrived, they had figured out the issue, made the repairs, cleaned up, and were out the door. I cannot recommend Tito's highly enough!”
John Turner
“It's 11:36pm on a Thursday and my guy here answered the phone and helped me fix my water heater that was leaking tons of water. He was patient, reassuring, and helped us fix the leak. I highly recommend Tito. Thank you so much, we were struggling for a while until you helped us.”
Marcos Ramirez
“Daisy was the receptionist and first contact, and she was a 'can do' person. Javier was sent to do the work the same day. Yes, the same day. He was pleasant and competent in his skills. I will definitely call Tito's in the future.”
Kevin Mounts
“Great service, great communication. They got here in the window they scheduled, got to work, and got the drain cleared. Didn't try to sell me anything, just did the work. Will use again.”
Scott Sarmento
“Tito's Plumbing installed our dishwasher, garbage disposal, and connected our new sink. They were very efficient, professional, and on time, even a little early, and their pricing was very reasonable. Thank you so much for your great work, loving my new kitchen!”
Robin Chavez
“I had a great experience with Tito's. They were recommended by a contractor friend and they didn't disappoint. They showed up on time, were polite and kind, and fixed the issue. The price was totally fair. I will be using them again for sure.”
Brian Claverie
“Our water heater died on Monday and on Tuesday we had a brand new water heater professionally installed by Tito's Plumbing. Efficient, friendly, and in about an hour we had a new one. Thanks Tito and crew.”
