Our 4-Step Annual Backflow Testing Process
Every annual backflow test we run in North Port and Englewood follows the same four-step process. The process is deliberately simple because compliance should not require chasing a tester through three rounds of paperwork.
- You call us at (941) 786-8434 or request a quote online. We ask three things: your property address, the device type (or a phone photo), and your annual due-date status. With those three answers we quote a real number and confirm a scheduling window on the same call.
- We arrive on the scheduled day and run the test on site. About twenty minutes for most residential PVB and DCV testing, thirty to forty-five minutes for commercial RPZ. We text 30 minutes before we arrive so you can unlock a gate or move a dog if needed.
- We sign the certified test report and email you the PDF the same business day. The report carries BAT #PR14723, the gauge serial, the calibration certificate reference, the date, and the readings for each check valve and (on an RPZ) the relief valve.
- We file the report with your water utility the same business day. North Port Utilities portal entry or Englewood Water District approved-tester email submission, depending on your address. Your compliance record updates within one to two business days.

Why Choose a Specialist Tester Over a General Plumber
Backflow testing is a specialist trade with a specialist certification (BAT, Backflow Assembly Tester). Some general plumbers carry the certification as a side service. We do not. Backflow testing is the only service we offer. The practical difference shows up in three places:
- Gauge calibration. Florida Code requires annual calibration on the test gauge. A plumber who runs backflow tests as a side service may show up with a gauge that has not been calibrated in twelve months, which makes the certified test report non-defensible at the utility level. We calibrate every gauge annually and keep the calibration certificate on file.
- Portal and approved-tester registration. North Port Utilities only accepts reports through their portal from registered testers. Englewood Water District only accepts reports from testers on the approved list. A side-service plumber may not be on either, which means the report cannot be filed and the compliance record never updates. A Plus is registered on both.
- Same-business-day filing. A registered tester files through the portal or approved-tester process in real time. A non-registered tester has to mail or email reports through a back channel that adds days to the compliance update.
The specialist tradeoff: when a device fails the annual test, the corrective work goes to a separate licensed backflow service contractor, not to us. We test, report, file, and re-test for re-certification once the corrective work is documented. See our guide on what to do when your backflow test fails for the full sequence.
