Services
Testing
Annual backflow testing and certification of new installations to meet your water purveyor’s requirements.
Repairs
Our trucks carry commonly needed repair parts, so many repairs are done on site. We service assemblies of all sizes, from ½-inch residential devices to large 10- and 12-inch models.
Installations and replacements
Replace an aging assembly with an updated, lead-free model, or install backflow protection where none exists today.
About us
Founded by Tony Gring in 1994, AG ENT INC has proudly served Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties for more than three decades.
Today, partners Tony Ferrari and Matt Porter carry on that tradition, with Tony Gring continuing as a full-time consultant and part-time field technician. As a small, family owned and operated business, we remain committed to knowledgeable, dependable service.
We are C-36 licensed and insured, and we specialize in backflow prevention: annual testing, certification of new installations, repairs, and complete installations and replacements.
Hours and availability
Monday to Friday
9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
By appointment only
We usually schedule about two weeks out, so send us your testing notice as soon as you get it.
Got a final notice or a close deadline? Contact us right away. We’ll do our best to fit you in, and we can work with your water purveyor to request an extension if needed.
We are not a 24/7 service. After-hours emergency calls are taken as our schedule allows, and as a small business we can’t guarantee a response.
