Backflow Prevention.
Assemblies installed so the water only goes one way. Across Krugerville and 75 towns in North Texas, done by the licensed master plumber who quoted it.
What backflow prevention actually involves
Backflow prevention keeps your water travelling one direction only. Irrigation systems, commercial kitchens and some fire lines all need an assembly, and the assembly has to suit the hazard it is protecting against rather than whatever was cheapest.
Backflow prevention is about your water only ever travelling one direction, out of the main and into the house. Irrigation systems, commercial kitchens and some fire lines all need an assembly, and most cities in our service area want it tested every year.
Whatever the answer turns out to be on your property, you will hear it from the licensed master plumber who is going to do the work, before the work starts. That is the difference between A+ and a company that sends a salesperson first.
A+ Plumbing covers backflow prevention from Krugerville out through Denton, Collin, Grayson, Cooke, Dallas, Tarrant, Wise and Rockwall counties, which is roughly a forty mile radius and seventy-five towns. Whether the property is a house in Aubrey, a restaurant in Frisco or an apartment complex in Denton, the same licensed plumber quotes it and the same one does it.
If you are not sure whether what you are seeing needs backflow prevention at all, that is worth a call on its own. Norman would rather tell you on the phone that you do not need him yet than sell you a visit you did not have to pay for.
Venting is behind more drain complaints than blockages are. A sink that glugs, a toilet that bubbles when the washer drains, a trap that empties itself: those are air problems, not water ones.
There is no script on the other end of that phone, so bring whatever detail you have and it will be used.

06Why the ground here matters
Slab-on-grade
Nearly everything built here since the sixties sits on a post-tension or conventional slab, so supply lines run under concrete rather than through a basement. That is why leak location is a real skill in this market and why tunneling exists as an option at all.
Hard freezes
The region freezes hard enough, often enough, to split hose bibbs, exposed garage lines and anything in an unheated attic. February is the month this phone rings the most.

Backflow Prevention questions
Are you licensed and can I check?
Texas Master Plumber license M-44741, held by Norman Alambar. You can look it up with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, and we would rather you did.
What areas do you cover?
Krugerville and about forty miles out: Denton, Collin, Grayson, Cooke, Dallas, Tarrant, Wise and Rockwall counties, seventy-five towns in total. If you are near the edge of that, call and ask.
Do I get the same person each time?
Yes. That is the point of a small shop. Norman Alambar has seen your property before, so the second call does not start from nothing.
How much does backflow prevention cost?
It depends on what we find, and anybody who gives you a firm number before looking is guessing. What you will get from A+ is the number before the work starts, not after. Call (940) 231-5706 and describe what is happening and you will get a straight answer about the likely range.
Who actually does the work?
Norman Alambar, the licensed Texas master plumber behind A+, license M-44741. On larger jobs he brings a second pair of hands. You are not handed to a rotating technician who has never seen your property.
How fast can you get out?
Often same day, and emergency work runs nights and weekends. One customer called at five thirty on a Saturday and we were on site inside the hour.
What people say afterwards
The owner, Norman, is such a great guy and takes care of his customers. I completely recommend A+ for any job, they are very professional and reasonably priced.
Norman showed up on very short notice, did a great job and was very pleasant despite the cold. I highly recommend A+ Plumbing and Mr Alambar.
A+ Plumbing deserves this name as they do honest work and hold themselves accountable to ensure clients are taken care of. We had a big job and it was stressful but Norman and his helper took care of everything in a timely and professional manner.
