What Is Backflow Prevention?
Backflow prevention is the testing, certification, installation, and repair of backflow prevention assemblies that protect the public water system. LVVWD requires testing and certification for irrigation and certain commercial connections. We test, install, and repair to keep you compliant.
About Backflow Prevention in Las Vegas Valley
Backflow assemblies in Las Vegas face unique stress from our hard desert water, alkaline soils, and temperature swings that crack seals and corrode internal components faster than in milder climates. Neighborhoods like Green Valley and Sovana feature mature irrigation systems tied directly to the municipal supply, making annual testing a LVVWD requirement-not optional. Historic properties near State Streets often have aging double-check or reduced-pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies from Watts, Febco, or Wilkins that no longer hold pressure.
We test to USC FCCCHR standards, file certification paperwork with the water district, and replace failed assemblies same-day when possible. Hard water buildup is a constant culprit here; pairing backflow service with Water Softener Installation can extend assembly life significantly. We also serve Henderson and North Las Vegas commercial accounts where fire suppression and landscape zones require separate certified assemblies.
If a failed backflow device causes a broader plumbing emergency, our Emergency Plumbing team responds around the clock. For properties with older infrastructure, our Drain & Sewer Services team can assess related line conditions at the same visit. Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 to schedule your certified backflow test or repair.

Las Vegas homes on irrigation systems usually require a pressure vacuum breaker, while properties with direct connections to non-potable water need a reduced pressure zone device. Hard water common throughout Henderson and North Las Vegas accelerates valve wear, so we inspect for mineral buildup during every service call.
