When to call about backflow testing & prevention

These are the situations we handle every week across New York. If yours is on this list, it is worth a call rather than a wait.

  • An annual test notice from the water authority
  • A device that failed its last test
  • A new irrigation system needing a device
  • A commercial property changing hands
  • A leaking or frozen backflow assembly
  • Paperwork due and no test on file

Emergency?

If water is running and you cannot stop it, or sewage is coming into the building, call (888) 809-6756 now. We will tell you what to shut off while the truck is on its way.


How the visit works

  1. Test the assembly

    The device is tested to the required procedure and the readings recorded.

  2. Repair or rebuild if it fails

    Most failed devices need a rebuild kit rather than a full replacement.

  3. File the paperwork

    Results are documented so you have what the authority asks for.

  4. Set the reminder

    We flag the next due date so the test does not lapse.


What affects the price

Every job is quoted flat, before work starts. What moves that number up or down is usually one of these.

FactorWhat it means for your quote
AccessAn accessible basement run costs less than the same repair inside a finished wall, a tight crawlspace or a third-floor riser.
What has actually failedA worn part is a fraction of the cost of a failed assembly. We diagnose before quoting rather than pricing for the worst case.
Age and materialOld galvanised pipe, brittle cast iron and non-standard fittings all add time. We tell you if we find them.
Scope you chooseWhere there is a cheaper repair and a longer-lasting replacement, you get both prices and you decide.

Nights, weekends and holidays are priced the same way. There is no after-hours multiplier added to the invoice at the end.


What customers say

Explained what was wrong in plain English and showed me the part that failed. First plumber who has ever done that.

Teresa L.

Frozen pipe in the crawlspace during that January cold snap. Thawed it, found the split, fixed it the same visit.

Greg H.

Straight answer about repair versus replace. They talked me out of the more expensive option.
