A DEP backflow notice should not be ignored. It may require the owner to investigate the property, prepare plans, install an approved device, complete certified testing, or submit documentation supporting an exemption.
BDS.nyc reviews the notice and the property conditions to identify the practical next step.
We then coordinate the applicable path from initial assessment through plans, agency filing, licensed installation, testing, and closeout.
A notice response is the process of determining why DEP identified the property, whether a backflow device is required, and what documentation or corrective work must be completed.
The response may involve:
Our service may include:
Failure to respond may result in additional notices, fines, enforcement activity, or possible disruption of water service.
More importantly, the notice must be addressed through the correct path. Installing a device, filing an exemption, or submitting a test without first understanding the underlying requirement can create more paperwork without actually resolving the matter, which is government’s favorite form of exercise.
BDS.nyc does not simply forward the DEP notice to a plumber and hope the problem disappears.
We review the reason for the notice, evaluate the building conditions, and coordinate the professionals and documents needed for the applicable compliance path. This gives the owner one central point of responsibility from notice review through documented closeout.
