Backflow Testing.
Annual testing and the paperwork your city wants. Across Krugerville and 75 towns in North Texas, done by the licensed master plumber who quoted it.
What backflow testing actually involves
Most cities in our service area want backflow assemblies tested annually by a licensed tester, with the paperwork filed. We do the test and handle the certificate, which means you are not chasing one company to test and another to fix what the test finds.
We install the assemblies and we do the annual test, which means you get the certificate your city is asking for without chasing two companies.
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 testing 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 testing 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.
Knowing what is behind a wall before opening it is most of the job. The rest is not opening more of it than the job requires.
If it turns out you do not need a plumber yet, that is an answer worth getting too.

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 Testing questions
Will you clean up afterwards?
Yes. The job is finished when the space is back the way you had it, not when the pipe is fixed.
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 testing 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.
What people say afterwards
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.
As a project manager by trade, I have worked with a lot of trades over the years. Norman and A+ Plumbing truly go above and beyond with attention to detail and thorough work.
