FAQs
What happens if it rains on my test date?
While we do work through rain as much as possible on those really rainy days, someone from our office will reach out to you and let you know that we are rescheduling. We then relay that info to your water purveyor to keep them in the loop.
Do I need to be home for testing?
If your valve is not behind a locked fence you need not be present. We will perform the test and leave your test copy and an invoice for your convenience. You just mail or call us with payment and we turn in the original form to your water purveyor for you.
What happens if my backflow preventor fails testing?
In the event of a failed test, Howard will come out and inspect the valve. He will then communicate the issue and repair cost to you.  If it is a simple repair, he will complete it that day. If it is more extensive, he will order the parts needed and schedule the repair then retest. You will only be charged for one test (plus the parts & labor charge).
