Certified Backflow Testing & Prevention Services
Backflow occurs when changes in water pressure allow non-potable water to flow in the opposite direction through a plumbing system. Without a properly functioning backflow prevention device, contaminants from irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, commercial equipment, or other cross-connections can enter the public drinking water supply.
Coast Plumbing Solutions provides certified backflow testing and prevention services for residential and commercial properties throughout Santa Barbara County. Our certified testers inspect, test, repair, and install approved backflow prevention assemblies to help protect your water supply while meeting applicable local water authority requirements.
