They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

Backflow Testing & Repair in Vinton, Iowa
Backflow prevention keeps irrigation water, boiler water and process water from being pulled back into the drinking supply when pressure drops. Most Vinton 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.

Hard water is the quiet problem here
Water across much of Benton County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Vinton tank has started rumbling or your hot water runs out sooner than it used to, sediment is usually why. A flush and an anode check often buys years, and a softener stops the cycle.

Backflow test on our irrigation system. Booked it, did it, filed the paperwork, sent me the copy. Zero hassle.

Called on Christmas Eve about a frozen pipe. Fully expected a holiday surcharge and there wasn't one. Same price as any other day, which I did not expect and have not forgotten.

Backflow Testing in Vinton: common questions
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Annually in most Vinton 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 Vinton, 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.
