BDS.nyc provides NYC DEP backflow compliance services including RPZ, DCV, and DCDA plans, DEP filings, notice response, exemption applications, Licensed Master Plumber coordination, testing coordination, GEN-215B sign-off support, and annual compliance tracking.
Properties with commercial kitchens, medical or dental offices, salons, roof tanks, boilers, chillers, schools, supermarkets, industrial uses, laundries, and other higher-risk water systems may require DEP backflow protection.
BDS.nyc coordinates installation with Licensed Master Plumbers. Installation is performed by licensed plumbing professionals in accordance with approved DEP plans and applicable project requirements.
A DCV is a double check valve used for certain domestic water services. A DCDA is a double check detector assembly commonly used for fire protection systems where water-use detection is also required.
A backflow prevention device protects the public water supply by preventing contaminated or non-potable water from flowing backward into the building’s domestic water service or the municipal water system.
Send BDS.nyc the DEP notice and property information. We review the notice, evaluate the building use and water service, determine the likely filing path, and coordinate the steps required toward compliance.
An RPZ, or reduced pressure zone device, is a high-level backflow prevention assembly commonly required where the water system presents a greater contamination or cross-connection risk.
GEN-215B is part of the documentation used to certify the installation and testing of an approved backflow prevention device before the project is submitted for DEP closeout.
