Frequently asked questions
Common questions from commercial property owners and managers about backflow compliance in South Florida.
- How often does a commercial backflow preventer need to be tested in South Florida?
- Most Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade utilities require annual testing of every backflow assembly. Some fire-line and high-hazard installations require testing more often, and we track your due date and remind you before it lapses. Book inspection
- What happens if my backflow assembly fails the inspection?
- We repair it on-site whenever possible using OEM rebuild kits stocked on every truck, then retest the device and refile the passing report with your county utility. There is no second trip charge for a same-visit repair and retest. Book inspection
- Which backflow devices do you test, repair, and install?
- We service RPZ (reduced pressure zone), DC and DCDA double check assemblies, PVB, and SVB devices from Watts, Febco, Zurn Wilkins, Apollo, and Ames, in sizes typical of apartment, retail, office, industrial, hospitality, medical, and marina properties. Book inspection
- Do you file the test report with the county for me?
- Yes. Your digital test report is emailed within minutes of the test and filed directly with the county or city utility that holds your compliance record, so no paperwork lands on your desk. Book inspection
- Do you handle permitting for a new backflow installation?
- Yes. We size the assembly to your meter, flow rate, and hazard level, pull the permit, coordinate the county inspection, and include the initial test and filing with the installation. Book inspection
Customer reviews of these services
- 5.0 / 5
We had annual test dates scattered across fourteen shopping centers and kept getting compliance letters. Alpha Backflows tested every assembly in two visits, filed the reports with each utility the same day, and now sends reminders before anything lapses. We have not had a late notice since.

Our RPZ relief valve was discharging onto the garage deck on a Friday afternoon. The technician rebuilt the first check and relief valve on site, retested the assembly, and refiled with the utility without a second trip charge. The digital report was in my inbox before he left the property.

They sized and installed a new DCDA on our fire line, handled the permit and the county inspection coordination, and completed the initial test and filing in the same window. Access height and drainage were done right the first time, so nothing was cited.

Between the hotel, the pool systems, and the marina we track eleven assemblies. The portal keeps every past test report in one place and the reminders arrive well before each due date, so scheduling around guest occupancy is no longer a scramble.
