Fresh Water Service Riser With Backflow Preventer Installed

Here's what a properly built water service riser looks like when it's done right. Clean copper pipe, quality brass fittings, a pressure gauge you can actually read, and a brand-new backflow preventer sitting right at the top. Every component has a job to do, and every connection is tight.

The backflow preventer is one of those things homeowners don't think about until something goes wrong. It keeps contaminated water from flowing backward into your clean water supply. That's not a small thing - that's your drinking water. Installing one the right way means selecting the correct device for your system and making sure it's properly tested and seated.

We also put in a pressure regulator at the base. High water pressure feels fine at the faucet, but behind the walls it slowly destroys your fixtures, your water heater, and your supply lines. A regulator keeps everything running at a safe, controlled level - and it extends the life of everything downstream.

This is the kind of plumbing repair work that doesn't just fix a problem. It builds a system you can rely on for years. Solid copper, properly sweated joints, no shortcuts. Whether it's a leak, a failing riser, or an outdated setup that needs a full replacement, we approach every job the same way.

Good plumbing is invisible when it's working. That's exactly what we're going for every time.
