Safeguard Your Family's Health
Your home’s water supply deserves the best protection from contamination and cross-connection hazards. At CGC Home Services, our licensed plumbers provide comprehensive residential plumbing services, including expert backflow testing and repair, to safeguard your family’s health and keep your home compliant with local water authority requirements.
Certified Backflow Prevention to Protect Your Water Supply
Backflow occurs when contaminated water reverses direction in your plumbing system and flows backward into your clean water supply. This situation can happen during pressure changes caused by water main breaks, nearby fire hydrant use or plumbing system failures.
Backflow prevention devices are specialized valves that prevent contaminated water from mixing with your clean supply and ensure your drinking water remains safe. Our certified technicians understand how critical these devices are to protecting public health, and we’re committed to keeping your system functioning properly year-round.
Backflow Prevention and Compliance Services
Local water authorities require annual backflow testing to verify that your prevention devices are working correctly. Our team makes compliance easy with fast, reliable service that takes the stress out of meeting your testing deadlines.
During each inspection, we thoroughly test all internal valves and components to ensure they meet the required pressure standards. After completing testing, we handle all documentation and submit certification paperwork directly to your local water authority on your behalf.
What This Service Includes
Our comprehensive backflow testing and repair services cover everything you need to maintain a safe, compliant water system, including the following:
- Annual backflow prevention tests
- Certification submission to authorities
- Valve inspections and diagnostics
- Repairs or replacement of faulty devices
- Cross-connection control assessments
- Residential and light commercial support
- On-site reporting and documentation

Water Provider Notice
When you get an annual testing reminder or compliance notice from your local water authority, contact us right away to schedule your inspection before the deadline.
Outdoor Watering Systems
Homes with lawn sprinkler systems or irrigation equipment typically require backflow preventers and annual testing to protect against fertilizer and pesticide contamination.
Visible Leakage or Corrosion
You need to repair your backflow prevention device if there is any water dripping from it or signs of rust that indicate internal component failure that requires immediate attention.
Overdue Inspection Status
If your system has not been inspected in over 12 months, it is essential to have it checked to protect public health.
Older Home Purchase or Remodel Project
Older homes may have outdated or improperly installed backflow devices that should be evaluated and upgraded to current standards.

Thourough and knowledgeable, these people have always done well since the install.
This is the 2nd home CGC has installed a water softener system, neutralizer, and Kinetico RO drinking water. The previous week we met with, Caleb at our home, at 8:15am, a trainee that was not done training, and boss man Jonathan called at 8:20am and had him to leave so Jonathan could answer our call. Jonathan arrived at 9am and we started the CGC visit over for the 2nd time. At this time we committed to purchasing the system. Jonathan scheduled our install for one week later, with an 8-noon install. We were under the impression he would be our installer. Jonathan also serviced our other home a month earlier. August 10th I received a text to confirm our scheduled appointment for Tuesday August 11th, 8-noon. I responded to the text and confirmed the appointment. I arrived on site at 8am, ready for a 8-noon install, no one showed up or call me. At 12:30pm I called to confirm our tech was still coming, and that he was ok. The office couldn’t reach the tech by phone, so at this point no guarantee. After the 2nd call to the CGC office, I was told he was going to be late, arriving at 2;45pm. At this point I felt angry that no one from CGC contacted me to let me know the new tech Caleb was sick and no coming for our installation. Horrible communication from CGC, and not a pleasant experience trying to determine what was going on. Austin arrived at 2:45pm, was a pleasure to work with and did a great job on the installation. At 8:30 pm, he completed the installation, a 12.5 hour day to have CGC to complete their commitment. How would CGC feel if they were treated how I was? Why couldn’t they call me to let me know they were going to be late? What is their protocol when an employee is sick. CGC angered me, leaving me feeling taken advantage of, after taking off from work to oversee the installation that was scheduled a week in advance, and approved the day before. Again, how would you feel if you were treated this way.
Charles did a great job troubleshooting our water softener issue. He was very through. Helped provide options to update the system.
We purchased our own reverse osmosis system, and called this company to install it because it seemed like they were knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the person who installed it did not do it correctly and also failed to put the filter inside one of the reverse osmosis membranes. The tank wasn’t filling, we noticed there was an issue when we did the TDS test on it, and our tap water was showing better than the reverse osmosis faucet, which was interesting. My husband ended up going through the steps of installing and realized there were several things that weren’t done correctly. Luckily, my husband fixed it himself however it’s very unfortunate that we had to pay $611 to get this system installed incorrectly. Unfortunately when I called to relay this message to CGC, they just apologized and giggled a little. Not sure why that’s funny, but it’s alright we just know to not refer this business to any friends or family!
As always Jason professional and helpful. As asset to your company.
Shane is a great asset to the team. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. Great customer service and will most definitely recommend him next time I need service from CGC Home Services. Thanks again Shane!
Charles at CGC water treatment was professional and very kind. Thank you for your promptness, honesty & kindness.
Jacksonville’s city punch has a god-sent healer. I had my dude Chris get me set up with the most vital water softener for this old house and let me tell you… my pipes and faucets are spewing out magical softness without the buildup. 12/10 would recommend for your home, new or old… Jacksonville residents need this to increase overall health and reduce maintenance on your home.
Elvin was amazing! He quickly diagnosed the issue, fixed it, and then explain to me why things were doing what they were doing. More than anything I like that he explained everything and how it makes sense. Highly recommend!
Michael was excellent. He explained everything perfectly. He went thru all the products and options.
Great service and knowledgeable technician.
Well, trained technician Anthony Collins Changed out resin … Rebuilt the valve system… Adjusted the water level in the tank and changed our R.O water filters… Very professional and courteous… We now have great soft water!
