Aurora specialists focused on safe, documented, code-conscious backflow service.
Backflow assemblies are specialized devices installed to help prevent water from flowing in the wrong direction and potentially affecting a potable-water system. Their condition, installation environment, access, valves, shutoffs, test ports, and internal components all matter. A quick visual check is not a substitute for proper testing and professional evaluation.
Smith Auro Plumbing provides commercial plumbing and backflow services for common assemblies, irrigation protection devices, fire-related systems where qualified, and higher-risk commercial applications. We bring a process-oriented approach to testing, diagnostics, repair recommendations, and replacement planning.
Technicians familiar with organized documentation and property-management coordination
Service experience for commercial sites, HOAs, multifamily properties, restaurants, warehouses, and sensitive-use environments
Stocked service vehicles to help reduce delays on common repairs and replacement needs
Clear pass/fail results, repair options, and practical recommendations for owners and facility managers
Common backflow problems Aurora property owners face—and why they should not be ignored.
Backflow can occur when changes in pressure cause water to reverse direction within a plumbing system. This can happen through backpressure or backsiphonage, depending on the configuration and conditions involved. A properly selected and maintained backflow prevention assembly helps protect the potable-water system from potential cross-connections involving irrigation, chemicals, process water, commercial equipment, or other non-potable sources.
A failed test does not automatically mean an emergency or a contamination event. It does mean the assembly needs prompt professional attention, documentation, and a repair-or-replacement decision based on its condition.
What your Aurora property may need each year to remain protected and organized.
Aurora Water states that required backflow prevention assemblies must be tested upon installation and at least annually by a Certified Backflow Technician, with results submitted online before the annual due date. Smith Auro Plumbing can help you prepare for testing, evaluate failed assemblies, complete eligible repairs, and provide records for your property files.
| Task | Description | Typical Timing | Compliance / Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual inspection | Check for visible leaks, corrosion, damage, access issues, and missing components | At annual visit | Helps identify obvious concerns early |
| Functional test | Use appropriate calibrated equipment to evaluate assembly performance | Annually or as required | Establishes pass/fail status |
| Cleaning and adjustments | Address eligible minor issues when appropriate | During service | May restore normal function |
| Documentation | Complete service records and provide an owner copy | Same day when possible | Supports property records and reporting |
| Repair/replacement planning | Explain next steps for failed, damaged, or obsolete assemblies | After identified failure | Helps restore reliable protection |
From individual properties to large commercial plumbing systems across the metro area.
Required backflow protection depends on a property's water use, installed systems, cross-connection risks, and water-provider requirements. Smith Auro Plumbing helps property owners understand their equipment, arrange testing, and respond when an assembly fails or needs replacement.
Restaurants, cafés, breweries, food-service facilities, and commercial kitchens
Office buildings, retail centers, mixed-use developments, and shopping plazas
Schools, daycares, churches, gyms, and community facilities
Medical offices, dental practices, clinics, laboratories, and veterinary facilities
HOAs, apartment communities, condominiums, and multifamily properties
Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, logistics sites, and industrial operations
Temperature swings, irrigation cycles, and commercial demand can expose system weaknesses.
Aurora's seasonal weather can be demanding on exterior plumbing equipment. Freeze-thaw conditions, exposure to direct sun, irrigation startup, winterization gaps, vibration, corrosion, and frequent demand cycles can all affect an assembly's performance and surrounding piping. Commercial plumbing systems may also see heavy daily usage, multiple pressure changes, or difficult access conditions.
Irrigation demand and high water use can reveal leaks, worn components, and pressure-related problems.
Freezing conditions can damage exposed assemblies, valves, insulation, or nearby piping when systems are not properly protected.
Seasonal startup and shutdown often reveal debris, damaged parts, improper drainage, or issues that were not apparent during low use.
Understanding the device that helps protect your property's potable-water supply.
Different systems require different types of backflow protection. Device selection depends on the degree of hazard, system design, local requirements, accessibility, and the application involved. Smith Auro Plumbing can inspect, test, repair, and replace qualifying assemblies after evaluating the system and applicable requirements.
| Type | Typical Use | Risk Level | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) | Irrigation systems and outdoor applications | Low to moderate | Helps protect against backsiphonage where conditions allow |
| Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA) | Lower-hazard commercial and irrigation applications | Moderate | Provides dual check protection for qualifying systems |
| Reduced Pressure Principle Assembly (RP/RPZ) | Higher-hazard commercial, industrial, medical, or chemical-use applications | High | Offers strong protection where higher hazards may exist |
| Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) | Point-of-use or limited irrigation applications | Application-specific | Simple protection for suitable, non-continuous pressure conditions |
Reliable backflow protection depends on proper device selection, installation, testing, maintenance, and protection from damage. A technician should evaluate the specific assembly and property conditions rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
What to expect when Smith Auro Plumbing arrives at your Aurora property.
We discuss the number and type of assemblies, property use, access needs, recent notices, failed tests, and scheduling priorities.
Our technician locates the assembly, checks safe access, and reviews visible conditions before testing or repair work begins.
We perform appropriate testing with maintained equipment and document the assembly's condition and result.
If an assembly fails, we explain the issue, identify practical repair options where available, and discuss replacement when repair is not reliable or cost-effective.
We provide service documentation and explain applicable reporting steps for your property.
We help you schedule future testing, coordinate multi-unit service, and plan related commercial plumbing maintenance.
Clear deliverables for property owners, HOAs, and facility managers.
Every backflow service visit should give you a clear understanding of what was evaluated and what your property needs next. Scope may vary by assembly type, condition, access, and the requested service.

Commercial plumbing capability, organized documentation, and responsive support.
Smith Auro Plumbing is built for Aurora properties that need reliable backflow service without unnecessary confusion.

What changes after your backflow assembly is inspected, serviced, and documented.
Many customers contact us after receiving a testing reminder, identifying a leak, inheriting a property with incomplete records, or learning that an assembly has failed. Our goal is to replace uncertainty with a documented plan.
Unknown assembly condition, incomplete maintenance history, or overdue testing.
Documented results and a clear service record.
A leak, failed test, worn internal components, or damaged exterior assembly.
A repair or replacement plan based on actual system condition.

Better scheduling, clearer records, and ongoing support from a local plumbing team.
Appropriate components, maintained tools, and code-conscious installation practices.
Smith Auro Plumbing evaluates each backflow assembly based on its type, hazard application, condition, size, location, and property demand. When a replacement is necessary, we recommend an assembly that is appropriate for the system and installed in a way that supports access, future testing, serviceability, and protection from environmental exposure.
Properly sized assemblies and components selected for the intended plumbing application
Maintained diagnostic and test equipment used in accordance with applicable requirements
Accessible placement, clearance, shutoff valves, and test-point considerations
Plumbing installation methods designed around current applicable code and property conditions
Helping Aurora property owners make a practical, long-term decision.
A failed backflow test does not always mean you need a new assembly. Some problems involve repairable internal components, seals, check valves, springs, or relief-valve issues. However, a cracked body, severe corrosion, recurring failures, unavailable parts, or a device that no longer suits the application can make replacement the smarter choice. Our team can also help with related work like pipe repair & repiping or water line replacement when needed.
| Scenario | Repair May Be Recommended | Replacement May Be Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Minor leak or worn internal component | Yes, if the body and core components remain sound | If repair cost approaches replacement value |
| Rusted body or cracked housing | Usually not reliable | Yes, to restore safe, durable performance |
| Repeated failed tests | Possible as a short-term measure | Often advisable for long-term reliability |
| Changed demand or code requirement | Limited depending on system | May be needed to suit the updated application |
Consider replacement when the body is structurally compromised, the assembly repeatedly fails, parts are unavailable, repair is not cost-effective, or the device no longer matches the property's current needs.
Transparent pricing starts with the assembly, access, scope, and condition.
Backflow service costs vary because no two properties have the same number of assemblies, access conditions, system type, failure history, or repair needs. Smith Auro Plumbing provides upfront pricing after understanding your property and the work requested.
| Service Type | Typical Pricing Consideration |
|---|---|
| Single-assembly annual testing | Assembly type, location, accessibility, and documentation needs |
| Multi-unit commercial service | Number of assemblies, scheduling blocks, access, and reporting coordination |
| Basic repair | Parts required, labor time, assembly condition, and return-visit needs |
| Full assembly replacement | Device type, size, piping modifications, code requirements, and installation access |
Understanding whether your building may be on a required testing schedule.
Backflow requirements are determined by the applicable water provider, installed equipment, cross-connection conditions, and property use. Aurora Water identifies the responsible party as the person billed for water service or the owner of the property served, with the owner responsible when those parties differ.
Properties with irrigation systems, dedicated fire protection connections, boilers, or specialized mechanical equipment
Buildings with pools, spas, decorative water features, or treatment equipment
Facilities using chemicals, process water, medical equipment, laboratory systems, or industrial processes
Large multifamily properties with complex water distribution or shared infrastructure
Premises with commercial kitchens, beverage equipment, food processing, or service operations
If you are unsure whether your property has a required backflow assembly or upcoming test obligation, contact Smith Auro Plumbing for an initial discussion.
Protect every critical connection across your facility, campus, HOA, or portfolio.
Commercial properties often need more than a one-time backflow test.

Critical water-protection work deserves trained, qualified professionals.
Improper installation, testing, adjustment, or repair can leave a property with a false sense of protection.

For testing, repair, or replacement, use professionals who are appropriately qualified for the work performed and familiar with applicable Aurora and Colorado requirements.
