Professional Backflow Testing Services

Backflow/RPZ Testing Services for New York City

Businesses that pose a potential risk to the city water supply are required by both state and city rules to install backflow devices. While a Licensed Master Plumber installs the device, a certified tester must check its performance every 12 months. If you need a tester at your location, FAA Expediting Services, Inc. is authorized to perform backflow testing in NYC buildings.

Ignoring Backflow Testing Requirements Is a Big Mistake

Certain properties and businesses in New York State are mandated by law to have backflow prevention devices installed, maintained, and annually tested. These devices prevent the backward flow of contaminated water into the main water supply. Neglecting these requirements may lead to fines or even water service disconnection.

FAA Expediting Services, Inc. is fully equipped to take charge of testing your backflow/RPZ devices and filing your Gen215B reports with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Reserve your spot on our schedule and never overlook a filing year again.

Businesses Subject to Backflow Requirements

Backflow prevention devices keep water flowing the wrong way into the public water supply. This precaution is necessary in any setting that uses strong chemicals or could send bacteria into the supply. Businesses subject to backflow inspection regulations include:

Restaurants

Questions About Backflow Device Testing?

Below Are Some Common Questions About RPZ Testing

For a new device, a certified tester must fill out the form. Then, the form must be signed by a Licensed Master Plumber and the engineer or architect who created the backflow prevention plan. For annual testing, the report is prepared by the tester and subsequently signed by an LMP.

These devices keep wastewater from high-occupancy residences and businesses from flowing into the drinking water supply. They prevent chemical and biological contamination of public water.

A Professional Engineer or Registered Architect can file an exemption on your behalf. However, qualifying for an exemption applies to a very small number of NYC buildings.

Every service line on an applicable property requires a backflow prevention device, and every device must be tested annually.
