Second opinion on a quote to dig up our whole sewer line. They cameraed it, found one bad section, and lined it for a fraction. Saved us thousands.

Backflow Testing & Repair in Burlington, Iowa
Backflow prevention keeps irrigation water, boiler water and process water from being pulled back into the drinking supply when pressure drops. Most Burlington water authorities want an annual test on any device protecting a commercial building, a fire line or a lawn irrigation system.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Burlington are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

They handled the permit for our water heater replacement so I did not have to think about it. Inspection passed first time.

Third plumber we called about a main line that kept backing up. First two just cabled it and left. These guys ran a camera, showed me the cracked joint on the screen, and lined it. Two years and no problems since.

Backflow Testing in Burlington: common questions
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Annually in most Burlington jurisdictions, and some commercial and fire applications more often. We keep your date on file and remind you before it lapses.
What happens if my device fails the test?
We rebuild it and retest. We carry kits for the assemblies we see most in Burlington, so failures are usually resolved on the same visit rather than turning into a second appointment.
Do you file the paperwork with the water authority?
Yes. The completed report goes to the authority and a copy goes to you, so there is nothing left on your desk to chase.
Should I have my irrigation backflow tested before winter?
Test on your normal annual schedule, but do winterise the device before the first hard Iowa freeze. A cracked assembly from freezing is a far bigger bill than a test.
Do you work on commercial properties in Burlington?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Burlington. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
