Quick answer
Backflow testing in Altamonte Springs means a certified tester checks the device on your meter, irrigation line or fire line with a calibrated gauge and files the passing report with your water purveyor. City of Altamonte Springs runs its own water and reclaimed utility and a cross-connection control program out of its Calabria Drive facility. Altamonte's program tests residential devices at no charge, and the city replaces the dual checks on reclaimed-water lots on a five-year cycle. Private testers here are mostly hired for commercial accounts and devices the city program does not cover.
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 turn down the test when your city already does it for you. Longwood tests residential devices for a fee, Casselberry tests irrigation devices on its own cycle, and Altamonte Springs tests residential devices at no charge. If your notice says the city is doing the test, use the city — paying us on top of that is wasted money.

Backflow Testing in Altamonte Springs — FAQ
Who does my backflow test report go to in Altamonte Springs?
City of Altamonte Springs runs its own water and reclaimed utility and a cross-connection control program out of its Calabria Drive facility. The city publishes its own certified tester list; reports for commercial and non-program devices go to the cross-connection control office.
Does the city of Altamonte Springs test backflow devices itself?
Altamonte's program tests residential devices at no charge, and the city replaces the dual checks on reclaimed-water lots on a five-year cycle. Private testers here are mostly hired for commercial accounts and devices the city program does not cover.
How long does a backflow test take in Altamonte Springs?
About 20 to 30 minutes per device once we are on site, with your water off for a few minutes of it. Altamonte Springs is the most commercial stretch of Seminole County — 436, the mall corridor, and office and medical buildings with multiple water accounts.
Altamonte Springs tests residential devices for free — why would I hire you?
For a house on a standard meter, you probably would not, and we will tell you that on the phone. Where we are the right call in Altamonte is a commercial or multi-device account, a device that failed the city's test and needs repair, or a property manager who wants every device across several buildings on one schedule.
What do I need to do before the tester arrives?
Make sure the device is reachable — cut back landscaping if it is buried, and have the key if it is in a locked enclosure. You do not need to be home for an exterior device. If you know the make and model, tell us when you book so the right rebuild kit is on the truck in case it fails.
Holding a notice? Call the tester.
Read us the notice. We tell you who it says should do the test, what it costs if that is us, and — if your city already tests for you — that you do not need us at all.
