Backflow Testing

We are certified and licensed to test any backflow prevention assembly, be it domestic, fire, irrigation or other water system, such as boilers, chillers, soda machines, etc. Testing will determine whether or not the assembly is functioning properly or if repairs need to be made.

Annual testing is important to maintain the functionality of the backflow preventer.

Backflow Repairs

A failing backflow test means repairs are needed. Repairs could be as easy as a simple cleaning, a complete rebuild or somewhere inbetween. Regardless of what is needed, Jay's Backflow can take care of the situation.

If possible, we will perform the repairs at the time of testing but this is on a case by case basis and dependent on whether we have parts on hand. We try to stay stocked up on the most common parts for the most common brands.

Backflow Assembly Replacements

While we do everything we can to repair an assembly, there are times that a replacement of the assembly is damage beyond repair or it is more cost effective than a repair. We will provide quotes and perform replacements for domestic and irrigation assemblies only. We will provide referrals for local fire suppression contractors if needed.

Unfornately, outside assemblies are also stolen and will have to be replaced as well. We can often quote the installation of cages and enclosures as well.

Backflow Assembly Installations

We are fully licensed to install brand new assemblies. We can also pull the appropriate permits if needed. We may hire subcontractors when labor outside our main scope of work is. Such instances include but are not limited to dywall/paint, concrete/asphalt, digging, etc.

All installations are performed in accordance with all current codes at the time of completion.

Warranty Information

Testing and Repairs:
Because we cannot control what flows through the water lines, testing and repairs are not services that labor is covered by a warranty.

Installations and Replacements:
We guarantee that at the completion of the installation of a new or replacement that the following conditions are true:

• The backflow prevention assembly is installed to code and is properly functioning.
• There will be no leaks at any joint.
• The backflow assembly will be installed in accordance with the water purveyors standards.

All workmanship will be gauranteed for one year. This means that all materials installed were done in a way in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. If any leaks or failure of the assembly is due to installation error, any remedy will be free of charge to the customer.

Under no circumstances is Jay's Backflow, Inc. responsible for breaks, failures or issues caused by the direct or indirect misuse, abuse or neglect toward the backflow prevention assembly. This includes, but will not be limited to stacking items on or around an assembly that would prevent its normal functionality; hanging items from the assembly or parts associated with the assembly; non-protection against dust and debris that may find its way into the backflow assembly.
