Backflow Testing Request Form

Our standard prices assume the device is easily accessible and the test can be performed during regular business hours. For a price for testing after hours, please call. We do offer bulk discounts for commercial accounts, please call us for a special price. We also recommend if you have a pool with an autofil and it has a backflow preventer, testing that device as well to ensure the pool water cannot get into the drinking water. For exact pricing please contact us.

Please note that additional charges may result if the backflow is not reasonably accessible. In the event we must perform labor to simply be able to access the device (IE finding and digging it up, removing dirt from around devices buried underground in order to access the test ports, or having to work with abnormal above ground (non-approved) enclosures). We charge per minute of extra labor performed in addition to the prices below. This is to be fair to all customers and to avoid charging extra for those whose backflows are located below ground, but are easily accessible for testing purposes. 85% of the backflows we test are easily accessible as required per code.

Please note, we will leave the device exactly as we found it. It is is winterized, we will winterize it back down, if it is pressurized, we will not winterize it.
