Backflow Test Report Filing in Falkville, AL

A passing test that never reaches the utility counts as a missed test. Plenty of property owners in Falkville, AL learn this from a second notice letter.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with testers who file the report with your water purveyor once the test is done. Many utilities now take submissions through an online portal and charge a small filing fee per device. Others still want the paper form, signed, with the tester's certification number and the test kit's calibration date on it.

The report lists the device make, model, size and serial number, the location, the readings for each check and the relief valve, and whether it passed. A typo in the serial number is the most common reason a report bounces, so testers copy it straight off the body tag.

You get a copy for your own records. Keep it. Some insurers and fire marshals ask for it.

If your utility has flagged a device as overdue, call (833) 990-5874 and mention the notice date so the report can go in quickly.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Backflow Test Report Filing in Falkville, AL.

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in Falkville, AL?
Most water utilities require a test once a year. Many also require one at installation, after any repair and after the device is moved. Your utility's notice letter gives the exact due date.
What is the difference between an RPZ and a double check valve?
Both have two independent check valves. An RPZ adds a relief valve between the checks that discharges water to atmosphere if the checks leak, which is why it is required on high-hazard connections.
Can a backflow preventer freeze?
Yes. Trapped water expands and can crack the bronze body or blow out the bonnet. Insulated enclosures, heat cable or draining the device for winter prevent it.
Is fire sprinkler backflow testing different?
Yes. Along with the standard check valve test, NFPA 25 calls for an annual forward flow test on fire line backflow assemblies. Results often go to both the water utility and the fire authority.
Can a backflow preventer be repaired instead of replaced?
Often it can. Rebuild kits with new discs, springs and seals are sold for most brands. Replacement makes more sense when the body is cracked or parts are no longer made.
