Certified testing and surveys for backflow prevention.
Scope of service
- Backflow prevention assembly testing
- Backflow surveys

Start with the right information
Send the municipal notice, device information and any previous reports you have. Requirements depend on the municipality and the property.
Testing and surveys serve different purposes.
A backflow test checks the performance of a prevention assembly. A cross-connection survey reviews the property’s plumbing and potential connections between potable and non-potable systems. Alan Mechanical’s Backflow Tester and Surveyor qualifications support enquiries for both. The property, municipality and notice determine the scope and required documentation.
Common questions
What should I send from my municipal notice?
Send the complete notice, property address, deadline, existing device details and previous test or survey reports if you have them.
Is a survey the same as a device test?
No. A survey reviews cross-connections and protection requirements across the property. A test evaluates a particular backflow prevention assembly.
