📞 (281) 829-9828Annual Test & Certification
The core of our backflow certification service — a complete, licensed test of your backflow prevention assembly performed by a certified tester. We test each device to required standards, document the results, and provide a certified report valid for submission to your local water authority.
Certification Report Submission
After completing the test, we fill out and submit the required certification forms to your water utility or the appropriate authority on your behalf. You receive a copy for your records, and the utility receives confirmation of compliance — no paperwork for you to track down or mail in.
Irrigation System Certification
Irrigation and sprinkler system backflow preventers are among the most commonly tested residential devices in the Katy area. We certify irrigation backflow assemblies accurately and note any components showing wear so you can address them before they cause a test failure next year.
Commercial Facility Certification
Commercial properties with multiple backflow assemblies require each device to be tested and reported on individually. We handle multi-device certifications for restaurants, offices, retail spaces, and light industrial properties and coordinate all required filings in one scheduled visit.
Annual Renewal Reminder
Keeping track of certification deadlines across irrigation seasons and utility schedules can be easy to overlook. We can note your property in our scheduling system and reach out as your annual certification date approaches — so you stay compliant without having to watch the calendar yourself.
Post-Test Repair (If Needed)
If a device fails during certification, we can diagnose the issue and provide a repair estimate on the spot. Many repairs — including seat and disc replacement — can be completed the same day, allowing us to re-test and certify the device before leaving your property.

Annual Backflow Certification FAQs — Katy, TX
What is included in a backflow certification?
A backflow certification includes the physical testing of your backflow prevention assembly by a licensed tester, documentation of the results on the required form, and submission of that report to your local water authority. The test verifies that the device is functioning within required performance specifications to prevent contamination of the potable water supply.
How do I know when my backflow certification is due?
Your local water utility will typically send a notice by mail when your annual certification deadline is approaching. If you’re not sure when your last certification was completed or haven’t received a notice, we can help you check your compliance status and schedule service as needed.
What happens if I miss the annual backflow certification deadline?
Missing the certification deadline can result in a compliance notice from your water utility and, in some cases, additional fees or follow-up requirements. We recommend scheduling proactively so you don’t run into a deadline situation. If you’ve already received a notice, we can usually schedule quickly to help you get back into compliance.
Can Ory’s file the certification report with my water utility for me?
Yes — we handle the reporting as part of the service. After completing the test, we complete the required forms and submit them to the appropriate water authority. You receive a copy for your own records. There’s no separate trip to submit paperwork on your end.
What if my backflow device fails during the annual certification test?
We’ll diagnose the failure and give you a clear repair estimate before doing any additional work. Depending on the issue, many devices can be repaired and re-tested during the same visit. If a replacement is needed, we’ll explain the options and timeline honestly so you can make an informed decision.
Staying current on your annual backflow certification keeps your water safe and your property in compliance with local water authority requirements. Ory’s Plumbing makes it easy — we schedule quickly, handle the certified test, and take care of the report filing so you don’t have to. If a device needs attention, we’ll tell you honestly and give you a clear estimate before any repair work begins.
