You install it. We test it.
Washington requires every new, repaired or relocated backflow assembly to be tested by a certified BAT before it’s relied on. If nobody on your crew carries a BAT card, we’re your tester — fast, documented, and we never poach your customer.
Why partner
Why plumbers bring us in
The test is required before service
WAC 246-290-490 and the plumbing code require a DOH-certified BAT to test every assembly after installation, reinstallation, relocation or repair. No passing test, no sign-off.
BAT is a separate certification
A PL01 or PL02 lets you install assemblies; it doesn’t let you test them. Keeping a BAT, a calibrated test kit and utility registrations current is real overhead for a plumbing shop.
Utilities want it filed their way
SPU uses SAMS, Renton uses iBackflow, Issaquah and Woodinville use Tokay, Bothell uses VEPO. We’re set up in all of them, so the report never bounces.
What we handle
Our scope
- Initial tests on new installations and replacements
- Retests after your repairs
- Annual tests for your service customers
- Filing with the water utility + copy to you
- Failure diagnosis so you know exactly which part to bring
Tenant improvements
New RP on a restaurant or clinic TI — we test it the same day you finish so the inspector isn’t waiting.
Water heater & boiler work
Boiler make-up lines and hydronic systems with treatment chemicals need RP protection and a test after install.
Service calls
Your customer’s annual test is due and the assembly fails? We diagnose; you do the inside-building repair; we retest.
