Backflow testing is not just a regulatory requirement—it is a critical step in safeguarding the health of your community. A backflow preventer is an essential device that ensures water from your property (such as from irrigation systems or internal plumbing) does not flow backward into the public water system due to pressure changes (backsiphonage or backpressure). This annual test, mandated by local water districts, is crucial for safety and compliance, preventing potential contamination of the municipal water supply.
As registered and ABPA certified back-flow testers by the American Backflow Prevention Association, Anacapa Plumbing guarantees top-quality service that meets all municipal standards. We are your local specialists for complete backflow device solutions, including:
Yearly Testing: Performing the required annual testing per your specific local water district’s mandate.

Maintenance and Installation: Offering routine maintenance and expert installation for all types of backflow preventers.
We are certified and registered to service the major local Water Districts in the area, including Santa Barbara Water, Montecito Water, Carpenteria Valley Water, La Cumbre Water, and Goleta Water.
Whether you are completing a new construction project or updating an old system, if your property requires a new backflow preventer, we handle the entire process. Our expertise covers installation, official certification, and registration of your device to ensure immediate compliance.
For ultimate convenience and peace of mind, ask about our yearly service agreements. With a maintenance agreement in place, you’ll never have to worry about missing an annual testing deadline again—we manage the schedule for you, keeping your property safe and compliant year after year.

A backflow preventer is a critical mechanical safety device that keeps contaminated water (from irrigation or commercial systems) from reversing direction into the public clean drinking supply due to pressure changes. Because internal parts like check valves, springs, and seals fatigue over time under constant pressure, local water districts mandate an annual inspection to guarantee public health and safety compliance.
