Backflow Testing & Repair in Templeton, 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 Templeton
Templeton Community Services District supplies the water and is building out its cross-connection control program under the State Water Board's 2024 Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook. More properties are being surveyed and notified as the program grows.
What Templeton properties need a tested assembly
Ranch and vineyard properties with wells or ag water tied into the domestic side, tasting rooms and restaurants on Main Street, irrigation services, fire lines, and commercial buildings with chemical or process water.
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.
Templeton notes
Like Atascadero and Paso Robles, Templeton freezes. Exposed above-ground assemblies on open lots are the ones that crack. We point out exposure at the test and can add an insulated cover. On ag and vineyard properties we look at how irrigation, wells and the house connect, because that connection is what decides the assembly type.
Common questions
+ My Templeton ranch has a well and district water. Do I need a backflow?
Very likely. A well connected to a public supply is a cross-connection and needs an RP.
+ Can you protect my backflow from freezing?
Yes. An insulated cover is cheap insurance on an exposed assembly.
+ Do tasting rooms need annual testing?
Yes, like any commercial service with a device.
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.
