Tested, reported, repaired

Got the notice? Send it to us and consider it handled.

Backflow prevention assemblies protect the public water supply from whatever is on your side of the meter. Water districts require them tested every year. We test, repair and file the report.

Is this your problem?

What starts a backflow job.

  • A letter from the water districtBardstown’s water department and Hardin County Water District send annual test notices with a due date. That is the trigger for most calls.
  • A new commercial connection or irrigation systemNew assemblies need an initial test before the utility signs off.
  • A failed test from someone elseA failed assembly usually needs a repair kit or, if it is old enough, replacement, then a retest.
  • You are not sure if you have oneRestaurants, medical and dental offices, car washes, irrigation and fire lines usually do. Send a photo of the meter area and we will tell you.

What we do on the visit

What happens when we show up.

  1. Send us the notice

    A photo of the letter, the property address and any device details on it. That is all we need to schedule.

  2. We test with calibrated gauges

    Each check valve and relief valve is tested and the readings recorded on the utility’s form.

  3. Pass or fail, you hear it straight

    A pass is filed. A fail gets a repair quote on the spot, and the retest is included in the repair.

  4. We file the report

    The completed test form goes to the utility, and you get a copy for your records.

Send a photo with your request and we usually arrive with the right parts on the truck.

What affects the price

No mystery numbers. These are the things that move the price.

01

Number of assemblies

Some properties have one. Some have several, including irrigation and fire lines. Each is tested and reported separately.

02

Pass or repair

A passing test is a fixed price. A repair depends on the assembly size and the parts it needs.

03

Access

A device in an open pit or above ground is quick. One buried, flooded or behind a locked enclosure takes longer.

How pricing works with usSend us the notice and we tell you what the test costs. If an assembly fails, we tell you what the repair costs before it is done, with the retest included.

Around here

Two utilities, two forms. We know which one is yours.

Bardstown’s municipal water system and Hardin County Water District No. 2 both run backflow programs with annual testing and their own report forms. Which one applies depends on where the property is, and the two do not use the same paperwork.

We work with both, use the right form for your utility, and keep a copy so next year’s notice is a phone call, not a scramble.

Questions

What people ask about this work.

How often does my backflow need testing?

Annually for most commercial and irrigation assemblies. Your utility’s notice states the due date.

What happens if I ignore the notice?

Utilities can and do disconnect service for untested assemblies. Sending us the notice the day it arrives keeps that off the table.

Can you test residential irrigation backflows?

Yes. Irrigation systems on city water often have one and get the same notices.

Do you replace old assemblies?

Yes. When repair parts are no longer available or the assembly keeps failing, replacement with a current model is the better spend.
