What we
actually do.
Altamonte Springs is the most commercial stretch of Seminole County — 436, the mall corridor, and office and medical buildings with multiple water accounts.
We do not replace backflow assemblies — in Florida that is licensed plumbing contractor work. If the body is cracked or corroded through, or the device has been rebuilt before and keeps failing, we will tell you it needs a plumber rather than sell you a repair that buys six months. Once the new device is in, we test it and file the initial report.

Do you retest and refile after the repair in Altamonte Springs?
Yes, it is part of the repair. The city publishes its own certified tester list; reports for commercial and non-program devices go to the cross-connection control office.
When does a backflow preventer need replacing instead of repair?
A cracked or corroded body, a device that keeps failing after a rebuild, or an assembly type your utility no longer accepts for that application. Replacement is plumbing contractor work in Florida; we say so plainly and test the new device once it is in.
