Backflow Services
Our Certified Backflow Technicians service Manatee, Sarasota and surrounding counties, testing all size devices. We have completed thousands of tests in Manatee County since 2000.
Call or email our office to schedule a test or to inquire about our testing program. Please provide your name, address of the backflow device, phone number and billing address (include name of subdivision, if applicable).
The testing will be completed within five days of your request and you do not need to be present at the time of the test. We will provide you with an invoice at the time of testing either by leaving in your door or by mail, please forward payment within seven days of receipt. The invoice will indicate the agreed upon price of the testing and inform you of the results of the testing, pass or fail. If the device passes our testing we will forward your test information to Manatee County Backflow Prevention Division once payment is received. If the device fails, please contact us to discuss the available options.
Annual Backflow Lock-In Rate Program
This convenient program guarantees you a low rate each year to test your backflow device automatically. Your rate for the required test remains the same as the initial sign-up rate.
When your annual test is due, Howz It Flowin, Inc. will notify you via postcard. The test will take place automatically and you will receive an invoice in the mail. Once we receive your payment, the test results will be provided to the municipality.
Participation in the Backflow Lock-In Rate Program can be discontinued at any time and it does provide lower rates than the "non lock-in rate". You will also receive special discounts on other Howz It Flowin, Inc. plumbing services. Program pricing is as follows:
| Lock-In Program | One-Time Testing |
|---|---|
| Single - $17.95 | Single - $20.95 |
| Double - $27.95 | Double - $30.95 |
