Backflow Test Report Filing in Sutherland, VA

A passing test that never reaches the utility counts as a missed test. Plenty of property owners in Sutherland, VA learn this from a second notice letter.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with testers who file the report with your water purveyor once the test is done. Many utilities now take submissions through an online portal and charge a small filing fee per device. Others still want the paper form, signed, with the tester's certification number and the test kit's calibration date on it.

The report lists the device make, model, size and serial number, the location, the readings for each check and the relief valve, and whether it passed. A typo in the serial number is the most common reason a report bounces, so testers copy it straight off the body tag.

You get a copy for your own records. Keep it. Some insurers and fire marshals ask for it.

If your utility has flagged a device as overdue, call (833) 990-5874 and mention the notice date so the report can go in quickly.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Backflow Test Report Filing in Sutherland, VA.

Talk to a person
What is the difference between an RPZ and a double check valve?
Both have two independent check valves. An RPZ adds a relief valve between the checks that discharges water to atmosphere if the checks leak, which is why it is required on high-hazard connections.
How long does a backflow test take?
A residential PVB or double check test usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. Large commercial and fire line assemblies take longer.
What does a failed backflow test mean?
A check valve or the relief valve did not hold its required pressure differential. The device needs repair or replacement, then a retest before a passing report can be filed.
Can a backflow preventer freeze?
Yes. Trapped water expands and can crack the bronze body or blow out the bonnet. Insulated enclosures, heat cable or draining the device for winter prevent it.
Who sends the test report to the water utility?
The tester usually files it, either on the utility's paper form or through its online portal. Ask for a copy for your own records.
