Backflow prevention devices must remain operational after installation. Many devices require testing at initial installation and every 12 months thereafter.
BDS.nyc coordinates certified testing, gathers the required forms, tracks deficiencies, and helps organize submission records for the property.
This service is especially useful for property managers and owners responsible for multiple devices or locations.
Backflow testing verifies that the internal valves, relief components, and assemblies are operating within the required performance range.
Testing must be completed by an appropriately certified tester using calibrated equipment.
If a device fails, repairs may be needed before it can be retested and documented as compliant.
Our service may include:
A backflow device is not a one-time filing obligation. It must remain functional and properly documented.
Missed annual testing can result in DEP notices, fines, unresolved compliance records, or possible water-service enforcement. The audit specifically identifies annual testing content and reminders as a major opportunity for BDS.nyc because owners need ongoing management, not another form buried in somebody’s inbox.
BDS.nyc coordinates the testing requirement as part of the property’s ongoing compliance program.
We help identify due dates, schedule certified testers, organize completed forms, coordinate corrections when devices fail, and maintain clearer records for future DEP review. This reduces missed deadlines and prevents the same compliance problem from reappearing every year wearing a slightly different notice number.
