What we do
Inspection
We carefully inspect the assembly and surrounding areas to determine if any evidence of failure or damage is present.
Confirmation
We check the model and serial number of the assembly and ensure it is approved and properly installed.
Setup
We carefully flush the test ports and exercise the shutoff valves as needed.
Testing
We attach the testing unit and perform the various tests required of that specific backflow unit.
Data Recording
We record all the required data onto the forms as specified by the local water purveyor. A copy can be provided to the customer if desired.
Water Purveyor Filing
We will upload or file the required reports with the local water purveyor using the method approved by the purveyor.

What is "Backflow"?
Backflow is the unwanted flow of water in the opposite direction of its intended flow. It can occur in plumbing systems and can be a serious health risk if it contaminates drinking water. Causes: Back pressure: When back pressure is higher than the supply pressure, or vice versa, backflow can occur Open valves: When a supply valve is open, backflow can occur Cross connections: When a potable water system is connected to a non-potable water system, backflow can occur Water pressure drop: When there is a sudden drop in water pressure, backflow can occur
What is a "Backflow Prevention Assembly"?
A backflow prevention device is a product that ensures water can only flow in one direction. There are multiple types of backflow prevention devices, and they all work best in specific applications. All backflow preventers, no matter the type, protect clean water lines from wastewater contaminants. Backflow testing is required for businesses on a yearly basis. It may be required for residential applications depending on your state and local laws.
What is involved in a "Backflow Assembly Test"?
Initial Assessment: Shut-Off Valve Check: The BAT (Backflow Assembly Tester) turns off the downstream shut-off valve before beginning the inspection. Visual Inspection: The BAT visually inspects the backflow preventer and the area around it to check for any obvious signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Pressure Testing: Pressure Measurement: Using specialized equipment, the BAT measures the pressure at various points in the system. This helps verify that the pressure differential between the valves is correct. Data Analysis: The BAT analyzes the pressure data to spot any inconsistencies that could indicate a malfunction. Functional Testing: Valve Operation: The BAT uses a test kit to apply pressure to the system and verifies that the check valves allow one-way flow and that they block reverse flow effectively. Relief Valve Check: If you have a reduced pressure principle device, the BAT will test the relief valve to confirm it operates correctly under backflow conditions. Report and Recommendations: Inspection Report: After completing the tests, the BAT provides a detailed inspection report to the local water authority, and a copy to the customer. If they haven’t found any problems, this completes the test. Maintenance Recommendations: If the BAT finds any issues with your backflow preventer, they’ll recommend any necessary repairs or replacements. Depending on the nature of the issue, the BAT may be able to perform the repair. If not, he may recommend a contractor.
