Your plumbing system is designed to keep clean water flowing in and dirty water flowing out — but when something goes wrong, things can reverse. That’s when backflow happens — and that’s when you need Bayou Crew Plumbing.
We provide certified backflow services for homes and businesses across Louisiana. Whether you’re due for your annual backflow test or need fast repairs, our licensed backflow testers handle it quickly. No confusion, no contamination — just water that flows the way it should.
Backflow is when used or contaminated water reverses its direction and flows into your clean water supply. It usually happens when there’s a sudden drop in water pressure, creating suction that pulls dirty water backward. It sounds small — but it can expose those on your property to serious health risks.
Backflow prevention devices are made to stop that reversal. But just like any plumbing part, they wear out over time. That’s why backflow testing is a good idea.
An inspection from a professional can prevent contamination, keep your drinking water safe and help detect system failures early. Backflow prevention is essential for many modern homes, and Bayou Crew is here to make sure it’s handled properly.
Not every home has a backflow device, but it can be a major asset when any of the following applies:
If you’re unsure whether your property needs backflow testing, we’ll help you check. Whether you’re maintaining compliance or preventing future problems, backflow services are a part of responsible plumbing.
Backflow doesn’t happen out of nowhere. Understanding what causes it can help you catch problems early or avoid them altogether. Here are some of the most common reasons backflow occurs:
Even just one of these issues is enough to compromise your water quality. That’s why annual testing and certified backflow inspections are so important — they help catch weak spots before they lead to serious contamination
At Bayou Crew Plumbing, we’re here to keep your water protected and your system in check.
During your backflow inspection, one of our certified testers will check your prevention assembly using calibrated gauges and precise pressure testing. This lets us measure how well your device holds and redirects pressure, keeping contaminants out of your water line.
Here’s what we do:
If your backflow prevention device has failed inspection, shows visible damage or is simply past its prime, replacement may be the safest solution. At Bayou Crew, we offer professional backflow replacement services using durable, code-compliant assemblies built to last.
Whether your system was improperly installed years ago or has aged out of regulation, we’ll remove the old unit, install a new certified device and ensure it meets all local testing and reporting requirements.
