Our certified technician will first determine whether it can be repaired — often by cleaning internal components or replacing worn parts. If it can't be repaired safely or economically, we'll recommend replacement.
Why Backflow Testing Matters
Most backflow prevention devices are required to be tested annually, though requirements can vary depending on your municipality, water authority, and property type. Many municipalities across Eastern NC send annual notices reminding property owners that their device must be tested and certified — and missing that deadline can put you out of compliance with local water regulations.
Devices We Test and Certify
Our certified technicians test and certify a full range of backflow prevention assemblies, including:
- Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Assemblies
- Double Check Valve Assemblies (DCVA)
- Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVB)
- Spill Resistant Vacuum Breakers (SVB)
- Atmospheric Vacuum Breakers (AVB)
- Other approved backflow prevention devices
We test both residential and commercial devices across Eastern North Carolina.
What to Expect During Testing
- Most tests take approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on the device and accessibility
- If your device is located outside and accessible, you don't need to be present
- Water service will be temporarily interrupted during testing
- Water service is restored once testing is complete
- You'll receive the required written test report and certification documentation
Paperwork, handled for you. For most homeowners and business owners, we submit the required documentation directly to your local water authority. For builders or commercial projects, we can provide documentation directly to the contractor or project manager for submission.
If Your Device Fails Testing
If a device doesn't pass, our certified technician will first determine whether it can be repaired. In many cases, cleaning internal components or replacing worn parts restores proper operation. If the device can't be repaired safely or economically, we'll recommend replacement — and every repaired or replaced device is re-tested before we consider the job complete.
Fast, Reliable Scheduling
We know backflow testing often comes with a deadline. In most cases, we can schedule your testing within a few business days of your call — and since demand increases when municipalities send out annual testing notices, scheduling early helps you avoid the rush and stay ahead of compliance deadlines.
