Houston’s Cross Connection Control Program requires annual testing of every testable backflow assembly, with reports filed directly with Houston Public Works. We manage scheduling, testing, and paperwork so you never miss a deadline or risk a service disconnection.

Backflow Compliance in Houston
Houston’s Cross Connection Control Program, enforced by Houston Public Works, requires that all testable backflow prevention assemblies be tested at installation, after any repair or relocation, and at least once annually thereafter, with results submitted to Houston Water within 30 days. Test results must also be uploaded through the city’s SwiftComply system to receive testing credit. Facilities that miss a test risk a notice of violation and, in some cases, water service disconnection.
From high-rise offices Downtown to restaurants and irrigation systems across neighborhoods like Bellaire, Memorial, and the Energy Corridor, Houston’s dense mix of commercial cross-connections means backflow assemblies are common — and closely tracked by the city. Spartan keeps your paperwork current so a routine test never turns into a compliance headache.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a backflow preventer tested every year in Houston?
Yes. Houston Public Works requires annual testing of all testable backflow prevention assemblies, with certified reports submitted within 30 days of the test date.
Who is allowed to test my backflow assembly?
Only a TCEQ-licensed Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester (BPAT) registered with the City of Houston can legally test, repair, and certify your assembly.
What happens if my backflow preventer fails inspection?
Our technicians repair the assembly on-site and retest it immediately so you get a passing certified report without a second visit.
Do restaurants and multi-tenant buildings need backflow protection?
Yes. Houston’s Cross-Connection Control Program requires backflow protection wherever a potential cross-connection hazard exists, which includes most restaurants, apartment complexes, and mixed-use buildings.
How long does a backflow test take?
Most standard tests take 30-60 minutes per assembly, and we schedule around your operating hours to minimize disruption.
Can you install a new backflow preventer for a commercial build-out?
Yes. We size, permit, and install code-compliant assemblies for new construction and commercial build-outs throughout Houston.
