When property owners need a backflow plumber in Greenville, SC, they choose Tuck & Howell Plumbing, Heating & Air. Located in Duncan, we have provided backflow services in the Greater Greenville area since 1969. Depend on our plumbers for inspections, new installations, replacements, maintenance, repairs, and much more.
Expert Backflow Services for Greenville Properties
Our backflow prevention services provide property owners with peace of mind. Without prevention, many properties are at risk of dangerous substances entering their water supplies.
Backflow problems can manifest in many different ways, so monitor for issues with your:
- Dishwasher
- Swimming pool
- Drains and toilets
- Irrigation systems
- Garbage disposal
- Fixtures with attached hoses
Licensed and Experienced Backflow Specialists
All the backflow specialists at Tuck & Howell Plumbing, Heating & Air are licensed plumbers, as required by South Carolina law. Our team holds many backflow prevention-related certifications. We also train our plumbers to ensure they are current with the latest codes and technologies.
Prompt Service for Backflow Emergencies
Tuck & Howell Plumbing, Heating & Air has plumbers on call for emergencies that cannot wait until the next business day. We’re here for you whether it’s the middle of the night, a weekend, or the holidays. For all standard appointments, we strive to deliver same-day service to all customers.
What Is a Backflow?
Wastewater drains from your home into a sewer line or a septic system. There are two types of wastewater: gray and black. Water from sinks, showers, and washing machines is an example of graywater. Water from toilets and, occasionally, dishwashers is an example of blackwater. Backflow occurs when any contaminated water flows backward into the clean water supply. A backflow preventer is often the best solution if your system is susceptible to it.
24/7 Emergency Services Available!
The Causes of Backflow
The most common cause of backflow is a sudden drop in water pressure. This can occur due to a ruptured water main, backpressure from a pump, or unusually high water demand. Graywater or, even worse, blackwater, can contaminate drinking water without a preventer.
Potential contaminants include:
- Sewage
- Chemicals
- Pathogens
- Industrial waste
Backflow Prevention and System Testing
We can perform a comprehensive inspection and assessment if you don’t currently have a backflow preventer. If you need a preventer, we’ll help you choose the ideal solution for your property. We offer a wide range of high-quality backflow prevention systems. Backflow preventers essentially operate as one-way gates. Water can move in one direction, but it can’t flow back even if there’s a sudden loss of pressure or another issue.
Tuck & Howell Plumbing, Heating & Air also recommends regular backflow testing services. Commercial properties often require annual testing and certification, while residential properties should be tested every two to three years. Our team will ensure that your system is functioning properly and is compliant with all local regulations. When needed, our backflow services extend to correcting wear and tear, including cleaning and calibrating equipment and replacing parts.
Backflow Preventer Installation and Repair
You need a backflow preventer if you have drains flowing in the wrong direction. If you already have one, you’re likely experiencing problems with your current system. Our team performs routine inspections and maintenance that help avoid repairs. We complete all kinds of repairs, including full rebuilds, to adhere to all South Carolina building codes and manufacturer warranty requirements. Our company also handles new installations and replacements.

Had great service. Technician Kevin was fair and honest. Unfortunately told us the entire system needs replacement. sadly the estimates are upwards to $15,000. My elderly parents and myself just won’t be able to afford it. Going to be a long summer. Currently trying to find used window units on marketplace to get us by. If anyone reads this review and would like to help out with donations toward a new system. Please send to Cash App to $864fishing. Thank You and God Bless!

I would give Tuck & Howell 10 stars if I could!
SHORT VERSION:
Tuck & Howell is the company you want for your HVAC system maintenance and repair needs. I dealt with Holly and Holden and they are both outstanding and provided exactly what I needed.
LONG VERSION (please read if you're frustrated like I was):
After years of dealing with one of the "Big HVAC Companies" in the Upstate area, I was tired of them not addressing my concerns and pushing their "You're going to need a complete HVAC system replacement" business model. I was looking for an actual service company who would dispatch skilled and knowledgeable technicians to help me maintain my relatively new system and get as much life out of it as I could.
My home is only 7 years old, and the HVAC system still works quite well. However, I was having issues with it keeping up during the hottest 90+ degree summer days and thought I would get someone to come out and take a look at it since the refrigerant hadn't been checked since installation. So, I called the "Big HVAC Company" I had used in the past while in another house and they came out (almost 2 months later) and said my refrigerant was low and that I needed a new HVAC system. When I asked if they could just top it off and see how long that would work, the technician (or rather, salesman) balked and said the best he could do would be to provide me a quote for repairs, along with some upgrades I didn't really need, but wouldn't recommend simply adding refrigerant.
Frustrated, I called Tuck & Howell and expressed my concerns and from the very first conversation I had with the representative, I knew I had found the answer to my problems. Within 2 days, Tuck & Howell had scheduled and dispatched a technician.
The communication and service provided by Tuck & Howell is outstanding! From Holly's messages letting me know that the technician was on his way, to Holden, who patiently listened to my concerns and expertly assessed my HVAC system and provided me with service options, I knew I had finally found an HVAC company that suited my needs.
Holden confirmed that my system was a little low on refrigerant, but provided an option to "baseline" my system and top it off, then check it again later to determine the severity of the leak. He even checked out 2 items the "Big HVAC Company" said were on the verge of failure and needed replacement, but these turned out to be functioning fine. Holden also discovered a clogged drain line that the "Big HVAC Company" technician was supposed to have cleaned a few weeks prior.
Holden also let me know (based on actual data and system flow readings) that he thought my HVAC system wasn't "balanced" for my home and that, with some simple modifications, we could get better airflow and efficiency from our existing system. Something the "Big HVAC Company" didn't even notice - and had they done so, they would have said I needed a complete HVAC system replacement anyway.
Outstanding job, Tuck & Howell! Keep up the over the top efforts in meeting your customer's needs.

This is the first time I have used Tuck & Howell for plumbing (I recently used them for HVAC maintenance). I was very impressed with the service I received for the replacement of my kitchen faucet. Booking an appointment online was very easy and my appointment was confirmed the same day (on a Sunday). My technician, James S., was extremely helpful in providing options for my repair. In addition to fixing the issue at hand, James provided extra suggestions for future improvements without making me feel pressured to move forward with them. I felt like I had all the information I needed to make a decision. James was professional, courteous, and friendly. He took the time to go over all my options and thoroughly explain the estimates. I feel relieved knowing that when I have a plumbing or HVAC need Tuck & Howell will be there. Thank you!
