What if my device fails the test?

It has to be repaired or replaced and retested before the certification can be filed. We carry common rebuild parts, so in most cases the repair and the retest happen on the same visit.

Do you file the report for Anderson properties?

Yes. We complete the test report and submit it to your water purveyor after every passing test.

Can you test several properties at once?

Yes, and it is usually cheaper in time for everyone. If you manage more than one site in the area, tell us when you call and we will group them into as few visits as we can.

Backflow Testing in Anderson, SC | Ben's Backflow Testing & Repair

Testing in Anderson

Anderson mixes a commercial core with a lot of larger residential lots, so the work splits fairly evenly between compliance testing and irrigation.

Properties around Lake Hartwell and the larger lots outside the city usually run substantial irrigation, and an irrigation service is one of the classic cross connection risks, which is why the assembly on it gets tested. In the commercial core the pattern is closer to Greenville: retail, restaurants and medical offices with a device each.

Anderson sits at the southern end of our range and pairs naturally with Belton, Honea Path and Powdersville, so we tend to group those into the same run.

What the visit involves

We connect a calibrated test kit to the assembly and work the shutoffs in sequence to read the pressure differential across each check. Water to that line is off for a few minutes. Backflow assemblies are tested when they are installed, again after any repair, and at least once a year after that. That schedule is near universal across South Carolina purveyors. The notice you receive names the purveyor that governs your property.

If the device passes, we complete the report and file it. If it fails, it is repaired or replaced and retested first. See repair and replacement, or irrigation repair if the assembly sits on a sprinkler system that also needs attention.
