Ensuring 25 Years of Clean Water with TDE Backflow Services

For over 25 years, Mr. Octavio Ramirez has been a trusted expert in testing the water pressure levels for his fellow Texans.

Octavio’s journey began when he received special training and certification through a previous employer. He recognized a unique demand for backflow services in the El Paso area, especially because his friends and family frequently requested his assistance. He was right. Other people in El Paso needed backflow testing too, so he founded TDE Backflow Services.

Backflow testing is a plumbing service that involves assessing pressure levels in backflow preventer devices to ensure the safety of clean water. By preventing backflow, it eliminates the risk of untreated or contaminated water being siphoned back into the clean water supply.

Mr. Ramirez loves owning a small business because it gives him the independence to make decisions, set his own schedule, and select the projects he wants to work on.

"Owning your own business can be done if you really want it," says Octavio. Despite the challenges that come with owning and running a business, he believes that the key to success lies in never giving up on yourself or your company. With determination, anyone can achieve their goal of owning and operating a successful business.

Mr. Ramirez mentions the significant impact of Armed Forces Bank, which not only values his business but also recognizes him as an individual. This support and acknowledgment have helped contribute to the success of his company.

At Armed Forces Bank, we take immense pride in supporting TDE Backflow Services and Mr. Octavio Ramirez in his endeavors. If you live in the El Paso area and would like backflow assistance, you know who to call!
