Backflow Testing in Bensalem
Bensalem carries the heaviest commercial and industrial backflow load in lower Bucks — warehouse and distribution space off Street Road and the Route 13 corridor, hotels, and a long run of restaurants and retail near the Neshaminy interchange. Large-diameter RPZ assemblies and fire-line double checks are routine here rather than the exception.
Warehouses and distribution centers, hotels, restaurants, car washes, multi-family buildings and irrigation on the larger commercial properties.
Bensalem Township and the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority handle the notices and take the filed test report.
Devices We Test & Repair
RPZ assemblies
Reduced pressure zone devices on high-hazard connections — restaurants, medical offices, boiler feeds and chemically treated systems.
Double check valve assemblies
DCVA units on lower-hazard services including fire lines and some irrigation connections.
Irrigation & lawn sprinklers
Initial certification on new systems and annual spring testing before start-up.
Fire line assemblies
Testing and repair coordinated with your sprinkler contractor so the system returns to service properly.
Boiler make-up feeds
Backflow protection on hydronic boiler fill lines, tested and rebuilt as needed.
Device repair & replacement
Rebuild kits for common Watts, Febco, Wilkins and Zurn assemblies, and full replacement when a device is obsolete or frozen.
How the Test Works
1. Identify the assembly
Make, model, size, serial number, hazard type and location — the authority's form needs every field.
2. Notify and isolate
The test shuts water downstream briefly, so we schedule around your business hours or irrigation schedule.
3. Run the certified gauge test
A calibrated differential-pressure gauge checks each check valve and the relief valve against required differentials.
4. Rebuild if it fails
Most failures are worn rubber. We carry common rebuild kits so a failed device is usually repaired and retested the same visit.
5. File the report
We sign the certified report with gauge readings and calibration data and submit it so your record stays current.
FAQ
Bensalem Backflow Questions
Do you do backflow testing in Bensalem, PA?
Yes. We are a PA-certified backflow tester and Registered Master Plumber (PA HIC #5653) testing RPZ, double-check, irrigation and fire-line assemblies throughout Bensalem and the surrounding Bucks County area. Call 215-364-0133 with the notice in hand and we will schedule it.
Do you test large-diameter backflow assemblies in Bensalem?
Yes. Warehouse, hotel and multi-family services in Bensalem often run 2-inch and larger RPZ or double-check assemblies, sometimes in a pit or a dedicated backflow room. We test them with a calibrated differential-pressure gauge and file the report with the authority.
How many devices does a Bensalem warehouse usually have?
More than owners expect. A typical distribution building has one on the domestic service, one on fire service, and separate protection on irrigation or a boiler feed. We inventory the whole site the first year so nothing is missed at the next renewal.
Can you test outside business hours in Bensalem?
For sites where a daytime shutdown is not workable — hotels, restaurants and car washes especially — we schedule the test around your operating window. Call 215-364-0133 and tell us the hours you can be off water.
How often does a backflow preventer have to be tested?
Once every 12 months for most authorities in Bucks and Montgomery County, plus a test any time the device is installed, repaired, relocated or replaced.
Who files the test report?
We do. Bensalem Township and the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority handle the notices and take the filed test report.
What does backflow testing cost in Bensalem?
It depends on how many assemblies you have, their size, and whether a rebuild is needed. A single residential or irrigation device is a flat test fee; multi-device commercial sites are quoted per property. Call 215-364-0133 for a firm number before we schedule.
What happens if the device fails?
We show you which check or relief valve failed and what the fix costs. Most failures are worn rubber parts we carry on the truck, so the device is usually rebuilt and retested in the same visit. Obsolete or frozen bodies get a replacement quote instead.
