Fees
The report to your water utility is part of every test.
We tell you the test fee when you book. A repair is quoted in writing after a failed test, before any work starts.
The tester runs the test, reads each check and relief valve, and explains pass or fail before leaving. The report to your water utility is part of every test.
There is no after-hours rate. Tests are weekday daytime visits.
Nothing is repaired until you approve the written price. After a repair we retest, and the passing report goes to your utility.
What moves the price
A 3 inch assembly takes longer than a 1 inch one, so it costs more to test.
A reduced pressure assembly has more to read than a pressure vacuum breaker.
A flooded, buried or locked vault adds time. Tell us before the visit.
Each added assembly on the same visit costs less than the first.
A pass ends with the report. A fail adds a repair and a retest, quoted in writing first.
What the fee covers

If a test fails
You see the lines, with a total, before anyone touches the assembly.
What a repair quote looks like after a failed test.
Yours is written before work starts and you approve it first.
When rebuilding no longer makes sense.
Assembly make, trenching and permit fees change the total.
Parts and labor depend on the assembly and the site. Nothing is repaired until you approve the written price.
Send the count and the sites. We reply with a total for the first visit and a day on the route.
