Backflow Testing & Repair in Morro Bay, CA
Annual testing, same-visit repairs, and your report filed with your water supplier. SLO County tester ID PI0000550 · CA-NV AWWA certified · CA Lic. #1102487.
Who handles backflow in Morro Bay
The City of Morro Bay supplies the water. Morro Bay requires backflow protection on fire services, irrigation on dedicated meters, commercial buildings that change use, graywater systems and other cross-connected systems. The annual test on each assembly is the owner's responsibility.
What Morro Bay properties need a tested assembly
Embarcadero restaurants and fish markets, harbor businesses with hose bibbs and wash-down water near the docks, hotels and motels, irrigation meters, fire lines, and properties with graywater systems.
How we handle your test
We test each assembly with a calibrated differential gauge: both checks, and on an RP the relief valve. Most single devices take about 30 minutes. For a business, we test before you open or after you close, so the water's never off during your hours. We carry repair kits for the common Watts, Febco, Wilkins and Zurn assemblies, so most failures get repaired and retested in the same visit. You get a copy of the report, and we file the certified copy with your water supplier. A passing test that never reaches the district counts as no test.
Morro Bay notes
Harbor-front assemblies take a beating from salt air, and test cocks and bolts seize. We check the body, fittings and any enclosure during the test and tell you when a replacement is coming, before it fails a test. For Embarcadero restaurants we test before opening so the kitchen isn't down during service.

What Our Customers Say
I highly recommend Modern Perspective Plumbing! I called, and they were able to send someone to my house in a very short amount of time. Ed was friendly, personable, and easy to work with. He explained everything clearly, did great work, and the pricing was fair. It's so refreshing to find a company that provides excellent customer service and quality work. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again or recommend them to others.
Eddie was able to squeeze me into his schedule fast to help me with a bathroom remodel that I had already started demo on before I called him. When he showed up, he saw my old type M copper coming up from under the slab and advised me to replace that before it failed like half of my neighbors. He re-piped the house and the new bathroom within a couple days. Very clean and professional, highly recommend Eddie and Modern Perspective.
The team at Modern Perspective Plumbing are top of the line. Excellent quality work and even better human beings. Our old water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced. MPP visited same day to check out the situation. Eddie replaced it the very next morning after I finished water damage remediation. They've earned our future business and recommendation. Give 'em a call; they'll take care of you.
