New year, new us! Okay, maybe not entirely new (we’re still your friendly neighborhood backflow prevention experts), but 2025 is all about leveling up. After 25+ years in the business, we’re still as committed as ever to keeping your water safe and flowing smoothly—without any of those pesky backward hiccups.
Why make a resolution, you ask? Well, because even the best of us can’t just coast on past successes. Did you know that the EPA estimates about 10% of public water systems experience backflow incidents annually? That’s a lot of unwanted flow! So, here’s how 1-A Services plans to step up its game this year.
Reinforcing Expertise and Training
Because Backflow Prevention Deserves a Black Belt
We’re proud to be backflow experts, but there’s always more to learn. This year, we’re doubling down on education and training. Our technicians will be attending more industry conferences and snagging certifications like they’re Girl Scout cookies.
Fact: Studies show that businesses investing in employee training see a 24% increase in productivity(Association for Talent Development).
Translation: When our team gets better, your service gets better.
We’re also adopting the latest tools and techniques in backflow testing and prevention. Think of it as trading in our trusty wrench for a state-of-the-art gadget that would make James Bond jealous.
Enhancing Customer Experience
Scheduling That Won’t Make You Sigh
We get it—scheduling service calls can feel like a game of phone tag that never ends. In 2025, we’re rolling out a streamlined online booking system. No more waiting on hold; you’ll be able to schedule your backflow testing on your phone, tablet or computer. Convenience level: unlocked. (book on our website: www.mrbackflowtx.com)
Communication? We’ve Got You Covered
Ever had that “Wait, when was my backflow test due again?” moment? We’re implementing proactive reminders to make sure you never miss a test. These reminders are more reliable than your memory and less annoying than your dentist’s “it’s time for a cleaning” texts.
Stat to Consider: According to a customer service study, 89% of people are more likely to return to a company after a positive experience (Salesforce).
Our goal: Be the company you always want to call (even if it’s just to chat).
Strengthening Community Engagement
Sharing the Love… of Knowledge
Backflow prevention might not seem like the sexiest topic, but it’s crucial. That’s why we’re stepping up our community education game. From keeping our blog updated with useful and interesting information to sharing insights about backflow prevention, we’re here to demystify backflow.
Supporting Local Causes
Since 1998, we’ve been more than just a business; we’re part of your community. This year, we’ll sponsor more local events and explore new ways to support our community, such as partnering with local organizations, hosting water safety awareness days, or creating educational content for schools and families.
Investing in Sustainable Practices
The Greener, the Better
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us—it’s a commitment. In 2025, we’re ramping up our use of eco-friendly materials and techniques. Did you know that certain backflow devices can help conserve water? We’ll be promoting these solutions to help you save money and the planet.
Eco Fact: If every U.S. household fixed leaks, we could save 1 trillion gallons of water annually (EPA).
Let’s be real: Saving water is cool, and we want you to be the coolest house on the block.

Listening to Customer Feedback
Because You’re the Boss
Feedback isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Over the years, your suggestions have shaped the way we operate, and 2025 will be no different. We will be asking for more reviews, where you can tell us what you love, what you’d like to see improved, and maybe even share a joke or two (we’ll take those, too).
Actionable Change
Your voices have already led us to:
Expand our service areas.
