Backflow prevention is not a routine add-on. It is an essential part of protecting the public water system from potential cross-connections that could allow nonpotable water, chemicals, or other contaminants to move in the wrong direction.
DeLaney Auro Plumbing combines practical commercial plumbing experience with a structured approach to backflow testing, repair, and replacement. We inspect the assembly, explain the results in plain language, discuss repair or replacement options when needed, and provide clear records for property owners and managers.

Backflow assemblies are common where a property has irrigation systems, fire protection connections, commercial kitchen equipment, medical or laboratory processes, boilers, pools, water features, or other potential cross-connections. These systems may be installed outdoors, inside mechanical rooms, near service entries, or in equipment areas that require coordinated access.
DeLaney Auro Plumbing provides backflow testing, repair, and replacement for properties throughout Aurora, including sites near Town Center at Aurora, Aurora Cultural Arts District, Stanley Marketplace, Southlands, the Gaylord Rockies area, Aurora Reservoir, and major business corridors along Colfax Avenue, Havana Street, Parker Road, Mississippi Avenue, and I-225.
Commercial plumbing expertise for assemblies that protect potable water from cross-connections.
A backflow prevention assembly is a specialized mechanical device. It must be selected for the hazard level, installed correctly, accessible for testing, maintained properly, and evaluated with the appropriate test equipment. A failed or improperly serviced device can create a false sense of security while leaving the water system vulnerable.
DeLaney Auro Plumbing approaches backflow work as specialized plumbing — not as a basic handyman task. Our team supports Aurora commercial plumbing customers, property managers, HOAs, and homeowners with professional testing, diagnosis, repairs, replacements, and related piping work.
A failed backflow assembly can affect compliance, water protection, and daily property operations.
Backflow occurs when water moves in the opposite direction from its intended flow. This can happen because of a pressure drop in the public water system or increased pressure on the customer side of the plumbing system. If a cross-connection is present, that reversal may allow contaminants, chemicals, irrigation water, or other nonpotable substances to enter a potable-water supply.
A backflow preventer is designed to help stop that reverse flow. When an assembly fails a test, leaks, corrodes, freezes, is bypassed, or is improperly installed, the property owner or responsible party may need prompt repair, replacement, and retesting.
Potential noncompliance with Aurora Water cross-connection control requirements
Notices, deadlines, civil penalties, or possible service interruption if issues are not resolved
Increased risk from irrigation, fire protection, pools, commercial kitchens, process equipment, or chemical-use systems
Liability and operational concerns for owners, HOAs, commercial tenants, and facility managers
Schedule annual testing early and address repair needs before a deadline becomes an emergency.
Aurora Water requires operational testing of required backflow prevention assemblies upon installation and at least annually thereafter. The responsible party must ensure proof is provided by the annual due date. Aurora may require more frequent testing in some circumstances, depending on the property and degree of hazard.
DeLaney Auro Plumbing helps simplify the annual backflow testing process. We confirm the device location and access conditions, test the assembly, explain pass/fail results, identify repair needs, and provide documentation for your property records. Where reporting is required, we help you understand the information and next steps needed for submission.
| Task | Description | Typical Timing | Compliance / Property Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual Inspection | Check for leaks, corrosion, damage, missing caps, clearance issues, and accessibility | At each annual visit | Identifies visible concerns before they become larger problems |
| Operational Test | Evaluate assembly performance using appropriate test procedures and equipment | At installation and annually when required | Confirms whether the assembly passes or needs corrective work |
| Cleaning & Minor Service | Address eligible minor issues when practical and appropriate | During the service visit | May restore performance and reduce disruption |
| Documentation | Provide test findings and service records | Following completed testing | Supports owner records and reporting obligations |
| Repair or Replacement Plan | Recommend corrective work for failed, damaged, or unsuitable assemblies | After a failed test or inspection | Helps restore compliant protection and reliable operation |
From small businesses to large commercial campuses, property owners need reliable cross-connection protection.
Backflow requirements depend on the property's water-system configuration, equipment, and potential hazard level. Commercial plumbing systems often require special attention because they may include irrigation, fire lines, boilers, food-service equipment, process water, medical equipment, pools, or other connections that can affect potable water safety.
DeLaney Auro Plumbing serves a broad range of Aurora properties needing backflow testing, repair, replacement, and commercial plumbing support.
Restaurants, cafés, breweries, and food-service facilities
Office buildings, retail centers, and mixed-use developments
Schools, daycare centers, churches, and community facilities
Medical offices, dental practices, laboratories, and clinics
Apartment communities, HOAs, condominiums, and multi-family properties
Warehouses, industrial facilities, manufacturing sites, and logistics operations
Hotels, event venues, fitness centers, and hospitality properties
Homes with required irrigation, pool, water-feature, or other cross-connection protection
Seasonal temperature swings, outdoor exposure, and heavy use can affect device reliability.
Aurora's changing Front Range weather can be hard on outdoor plumbing equipment. Freeze-thaw conditions, strong sun exposure, windblown debris, irrigation cycles, and seasonal start-up can affect assembly components, insulation, enclosures, valves, fittings, and drain areas.
Commercial backflow devices may also experience consistent demand throughout the year. A device serving irrigation, a boiler, a commercial kitchen, a process line, or a multi-unit property needs dependable maintenance and prompt attention when signs of wear appear.
Irrigation demand and frequent cycling can reveal leaks, worn internal components, or pressure-related issues.
Freezing conditions can crack housings, damage valves, and affect exposed assemblies if they are not properly protected.
Seasonal start-up and shutdown can expose corrosion, debris, access issues, and parts that no longer operate as intended.
The proper assembly depends on the cross-connection hazard and the property's plumbing configuration.
Different backflow prevention assemblies are designed for different levels of protection. The correct device type depends on the potential hazard, use conditions, local requirements, and plumbing design. DeLaney Auro Plumbing can inspect the existing assembly, explain its function, and recommend repair or replacement options when appropriate.
| Assembly Type | Typical Use | Protection Level | Key Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA) | Lower-hazard commercial or irrigation applications where permitted | Moderate | Uses two check valves to help prevent reverse flow |
| Reduced Pressure Principle Assembly (RP/RPZ) | Higher-hazard commercial, medical, industrial, and chemical-related applications | High | Uses check valves and a relief valve for stronger protection |
| Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) | Irrigation systems where the assembly is installed above downstream outlets | Application-specific | Helps prevent backsiphonage in suitable irrigation configurations |
| Spill-Resistant Vacuum Breaker (SVB) | Certain irrigation applications | Application-specific | Offers vacuum-breaker protection with reduced discharge concerns |
Reliability depends on proper selection, installation, access, annual testing, maintenance, and protection from physical damage or freezing. The authority having jurisdiction determines whether an existing device is acceptable for the identified degree of hazard.
Know what to expect when DeLaney Auro Plumbing arrives at your Aurora property.
We ask about your property type, number of assemblies, annual-test notice, access conditions, visible problems, and any deadline you need to meet.
Our technician locates the assembly, reviews access and visible condition, and prepares the area for testing or repair.
We evaluate the backflow assembly and record the operational findings. If the unit does not pass, we identify the likely issue and explain the result.
We discuss practical options, including component-level repairs when appropriate or replacement when the assembly is severely damaged, obsolete, or not cost-effective to repair.
We provide service documentation and explain the next reporting step for your property. Aurora requires records to be maintained and provided to Aurora Water within five working days of the work.
We help you plan future annual testing, coordinate multi-device service, and address related commercial plumbing needs.
Clear deliverables for business owners, facility managers, HOAs, and homeowners.
Every backflow service visit begins with a clear understanding of the property's needs. The exact scope depends on whether you need annual testing, diagnostics, a repair after a failed test, replacement, new installation, or related commercial plumbing work.
Commercial-grade service, practical communication, and long-term plumbing support.
Our Aurora backflow service is built for property owners who need reliable scheduling, accurate work, and clear next steps — not confusing technical language or unresolved compliance concerns.
Professional testing turns an unknown device condition into a documented maintenance decision.
Many property owners contact us after receiving a notice, discovering an overdue test, seeing a leak, or realizing that no one has current records for the assembly. A professional visit helps establish the device condition, identify corrective work, and create a clearer plan for ongoing maintenance.
Correct sizing, access, testing, and installation practices matter for long-term performance.
A backflow assembly is only effective when it is appropriate for the hazard, correctly installed, accessible for service, and maintained over time. DeLaney Auro Plumbing evaluates the existing setup before recommending significant repair or replacement work.
For new installations or major replacements, final requirements may depend on the authority having jurisdiction, plumbing code, water-provider standards, and property-specific conditions.
We help Aurora property owners compare short-term repair costs with long-term reliability.
A failed backflow test does not always mean the entire assembly must be replaced. Some problems can be addressed with repair parts, cleaning, adjustments, or component replacement. However, assemblies with structural damage, severe corrosion, repeated failures, improper configuration, or obsolete components may be better candidates for full replacement.
| Scenario | Repair May Be Recommended | Replacement May Be Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Minor internal wear or serviceable components | Yes, if approved parts are available and the assembly body is sound | Usually not necessary |
| Small leaks from replaceable components | Often a practical repair option | Consider if multiple issues are present |
| Cracked body, freeze damage, or major corrosion | Usually not cost-effective or reliable | Yes, replacement is typically the safer path |
| Repeated failed tests | Short-term repair may be possible | Often appropriate for long-term reliability |
| Incorrect device type or insufficient hazard protection | Limited repair options | Replacement may be necessary |
| Hard-to-access or damaged installation | May require related plumbing modifications | Replacement and reconfiguration may be best |
Clear cost drivers help you plan scheduled maintenance, repairs, and commercial plumbing upgrades.
The cost of backflow testing, repair, and replacement depends on the work required. A single accessible assembly that passes its annual test is different from a multi-building commercial property with multiple devices, limited access, failed components, or emergency repair needs.
DeLaney Auro Plumbing provides upfront scope and pricing information before approved repair or replacement work begins.
| Service Type | Main Cost Considerations |
|---|---|
| Annual Backflow Test | Number of assemblies, device type, access, scheduling, and documentation needs |
| Multi-Unit Commercial Testing | Total device count, site layout, access coordination, service windows, and reporting requirements |
| Backflow Repair | Failed component, assembly condition, parts availability, labor time, and retesting needs |
| Full Backflow Replacement | Device type, size, hazard classification, piping changes, access, and installation complexity |
| Emergency Backflow Plumbing | Urgency, after-hours dispatch, active leaks, damage, mitigation needs, and parts availability |
For an accurate estimate, tell us the assembly type if known, the device count, your Aurora Water deadline, whether the unit has failed, and whether the equipment is indoors, outdoors, in a pit, on a roof, or inside a restricted mechanical area.
The answer depends on your water-system connections, equipment, and potential hazard.
Aurora's cross-connection control requirements apply to water-service connections and situations where an unprotected cross-connection could endanger the public water supply. Required assemblies must be tested by a certified cross-connection control technician before occupancy and at least annually thereafter.
Your property may require a backflow prevention assembly or ongoing testing if it includes:
Irrigation systems connected to the potable-water supply
Pools, spas, decorative water features, or similar systems
Fire-sprinkler or fire-protection connections
Commercial kitchens, beverage production, food processing, or food-service equipment
Medical, dental, laboratory, or chemical-use operations
Boilers, process equipment, cooling equipment, or other mechanical systems
Multi-family, commercial, industrial, or institutional plumbing systems
Other actual or potential cross-connections identified by the water provider or inspector
If you are unsure whether your Aurora property has a required assembly, DeLaney Auro Plumbing can help assess the visible system and direct you toward the appropriate next step. Call (720) 599-4699.
Protect every required connection across your facility, campus, retail center, or property portfolio.
Commercial plumbing systems often have multiple backflow assemblies serving domestic water, irrigation, mechanical systems, fire lines, food-service areas, or specialized equipment. Managing those devices requires scheduling, access coordination, clear records, and a service partner who understands facility operations.

Straightforward answers for property owners, managers, and commercial facilities.
Required backflow prevention assemblies must be tested upon installation and at least annually. Aurora Water may require more frequent testing in certain situations. Follow the due date and instructions provided for your specific property.
Aurora identifies the responsible party as the person billed for water service or, when different, the owner of the property. The property owner remains responsible for the obligations when the owner and billed customer differ.
A failed assembly should be evaluated to identify the cause. Depending on the condition, it may be repaired and retested or replaced. Aurora's code requires a malfunctioning, defective, or unsuitable required assembly to be repaired or replaced at the responsible party's expense.
Yes. DeLaney Auro Plumbing can coordinate testing for commercial sites, HOA communities, multi-unit properties, and facilities with multiple assemblies. Call us at (720) 599-4699 with your device count, locations, access requirements, and deadline.
Aurora requires records of tests, repairs, and replacements to be maintained by the certified technician and responsible party, with a copy sent to Aurora Water within five working days of completed work. Confirm the current submission process and deadline for your property.
It depends on the damage. Minor repairable issues may be addressed with approved parts, while cracked bodies, serious freeze damage, or severe corrosion often require replacement. Our team will inspect the assembly and recommend the most practical path forward.
