The charming neighborhoods of Langhorne, from the historic downtown district near the old Langhorne Speedway site to the beautiful residential areas around Playwicki Park, represent some of Montgomery County’s most desirable communities. Whether you’re living in one of the stately homes near Richardson Avenue or managing a business in the Core Creek corridor, maintaining safe water quality through proper backflow prevention is absolutely critical for protecting your family’s health and complying with local regulations.

Central Plumbing specializes in professional backflow testing services that ensure your water supply remains safe and meets all local code requirements. Our certified technicians understand that backflow prevention isn’t just about compliance – it’s about protecting your family from serious health hazards like bacteria, chemicals, and other contaminants that could enter your drinking water.
We provide comprehensive backflow testing for all types of backflow prevention devices, including reduced pressure zone assemblies, double check valve assemblies, and pressure vacuum breakers. Our state-of-the-art testing equipment accurately measures differential pressures and identifies any component failures before they compromise your water safety.
Beyond backflow testing, we handle complete backflow prevention device installation, repair, and replacement services. When your existing backflow preventer fails testing, we can quickly install EPA-approved replacement units that meet current Pennsylvania building codes and municipal requirements.
Our 24/7 emergency plumbing services extend far beyond backflow issues.

Margaret owns a popular restaurant in downtown Langhorne near the historic district, and last month her backflow prevention device failed during routine annual testing. The municipal water authority immediately required service disconnection until repairs were completed. Previous plumbing companies had quoted three to four days for replacement, which would have meant closing her business during the busy weekend.
She called Central Plumbing at 2 PM on Friday, and our certified technician arrived within 45 minutes with a replacement reduced pressure zone assembly. We completed the installation and passed reinspection by 6 PM the same day. “I couldn’t believe how fast they responded,” Margaret said. “Other companies wanted me to wait until next week, but Central Plumbing understood that my livelihood was on the line. They saved my weekend revenue and kept my customers happy.”
David lives in one of the beautiful colonial homes near Core Creek Park, and during February’s polar vortex, his main water line froze solid at 11 PM on a Sunday night. He’d called two other local plumbers who either didn’t answer or said they couldn’t come until Tuesday morning. When he reached Central Plumbing, our emergency technician arrived in 35 minutes with specialized thawing equipment.
We safely restored water flow and identified a section of exposed pipe that needed insulation to prevent future freezing. “They didn’t just fix the immediate problem,” David explained. “They prevented it from happening again and charged exactly what they quoted upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees, just professional service when I needed it most.”
Lisa manages several rental properties in the Maple Avenue area, and one experienced a complete sewer backup that previous contractors said required full excavation across her tenant’s garden. Central Plumbing’s camera inspection revealed the blockage could be cleared with hydro-jetting, and a small section could be repaired using trenchless methods.
We completed the entire repair in one day without disturbing the landscaping, saving thousands in restoration costs. “Central Plumbing’s expertise saved me money and kept my tenant happy,” Lisa said. “They found solutions other companies missed and completed everything faster than anyone promised.”
