Backflow Repair & Testing in Casselberry, FL
Quick answer
TJ Backflow repairs and tests backflow preventers in Casselberry, FL. Casselberry requires a backflow preventer on every potable and irrigation meter connected to city water, tests residential irrigation devices through its own contractor every two years, and when one fails tells the owner to have it repaired by any backflow-certified company and schedule a retest with the city. The repair is what we do in Casselberry.
Casselberry is small, dense and heavily irrigated — older lots on city water between 17-92 and Red Bug Lake Road, most with a sprinkler system. The city took a firm line on cross-connections: a device on every meter, potable and irrigation, above ground and not in a box or vault, tested on the city's own cycle, and irrigation service terminated if it is not installed, tested or repaired.
As of October 2024 the city tests irrigation devices every two years through a vetted contractor whose testers carry city badges and give same-day results. That means we do not sell residential irrigation testing in Casselberry — the city has it covered. What the city does not do is the repair. Everything we do in Casselberry is listed below.

What backflow work in Casselberry actually involves
When the city's contractor fails a device, the owner gets told to have it repaired by any backflow-certified company and then to schedule a retest with the city. That is the whole Casselberry repair job: rebuild the assembly correctly, then get out of the way so the city can retest it. We bring the kit for the make and model on your device, fix it, and leave you ready for the city's retest.
Casselberry names three approved device types on its program page — pressure vacuum breaker, reduced pressure, and double check — and notes that the double check is not approved in Seminole County for this use. That matters when someone tells you the fix is a new device: a like-for-like DC swap is not the answer. Ask before buying anything.
The above-ground rule is a practical help. Casselberry does not allow devices in underground boxes or vaults, so almost every assembly here is at the meter in the open, which makes repairs faster and cheaper than in cities where the device is buried in a valve box under a hedge.

Casselberry — FAQ
Casselberry already tests my irrigation backflow — do I need you?
Not for the test. The city does that every two years through its own contractor. You need us when that test fails and the city tells you to have the device repaired by a certified company, or for a commercial account outside the residential program.
What does a backflow repair cost in Casselberry?
It depends on the assembly and the parts that failed, quoted before we start. Casselberry devices are above ground by rule, which keeps the labor side down.
After you repair it, who does the retest?
The city. Its notice says to arrange the repair and then schedule a retest with the city, so we fix it and you book the retest. If the city would rather see a private retest report, we can provide one.
Which parts of Casselberry do you cover?
All of it — Lake Howell, Lake Kathryn, Sausalito Shores, Camelot, Deer Run, Oakhurst, Winter Park Drive. No travel charge.
The city said my irrigation service will be shut off — how fast can you come?
Give us the date on the notice. Most Casselberry repairs are scheduled within the week, and a termination date moves it up.
Someone told me to just replace my double check with a new one — is that right?
Check before you spend the money. Casselberry's own program page notes that double check valves are not approved in Seminole County for this application. A rebuild of what you have, or a different assembly type installed by a licensed plumber, are the two real options.
Holding a notice? Call the tester.
Read us the notice. We tell you who it says should do the test, what it costs if that is us, and — if your city already tests for you — that you do not need us at all.
