Backflow Test Report Filing in Silver Spring, MD

A passing test that never reaches the utility counts as a missed test. Plenty of property owners in Silver Spring, MD 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.

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in Silver Spring, MD?
Most water utilities require a test once a year. Many also require one at installation, after any repair and after the device is moved. Your utility's notice letter gives the exact due date.
Who is allowed to test my backflow device?
A tester who holds a backflow tester certification recognized by your state or your water utility. Many utilities keep an approved tester list and reject reports signed by anyone not on it.
Why is water dripping from my RPZ relief valve?
A steady drip usually means debris is holding the first check open or the relief valve diaphragm is worn. A cleaning or a rebuild kit fixes most cases.
