A Simple Solution for Your Community

Instead of homeowners scheduling individual appointments throughout the year, many HOAs choose to coordinate a neighborhood testing day.
This allows residents to schedule during a designated timeframe while helping reduce travel time and costs. It’s a convenient option for both the association and homeowners.

We’ll work with your board or property management company to coordinate the details and communicate with residents if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Backflow prevention testing checks the function of your backflow preventer device. This device stops water from reversing direction and pulling contaminants like fertilizers, chemicals, and bacteria into the clean water supply. Without it, everyday activities like watering your lawn or running your sprinkler system could put your drinking water at risk.

As long as your backflow device is accessible, the water is turned on and the test cap is in place, we should be able to test your device within 20-30 minutes. Learn more about how to prepare for your appointment here.
