If your water utility sent a backflow testing notice, you need a certified test on file — usually by a deadline. Express Drain & Sewer Cleaning provides backflow testing, installation, repair, and certification for homes and businesses across Hollywood, Miami-Dade and Broward, plus select Palm Beach County properties. Send us the notice, the device location, and your deadline, and we'll take it from there. Call (954) 763-2520 to schedule your test.
Your device and your notice
Different backflow assemblies have different testing requirements, and your notice identifies which device needs testing and what the utility needs filed. Have ready: the device location, manufacturer or model if visible, and any prior test records. Don't operate unfamiliar valves or take the assembly apart yourself. A backflow test checks that the device prevents reverse flow — it's not a water quality test or a full plumbing inspection.
Testing and certification deadlines
Most utilities require annual testing with results filed by a certified tester. Confirm the interval and submission rules for your property with your water authority, and share your deadline when you call so we schedule in time. Express Drain & Sewer Cleaning holds Florida plumbing license CFC019202. Tell us up front what paperwork your utility requires so the filing goes smoothly.
If the device fails the test
A failed test usually means repair or replacement of the assembly. Testing, repair, installation, and re-testing are separate steps — we'll tell you exactly what's needed and what it costs before work starts. Businesses and managed properties should have an authorized contact available to approve work and coordinate any water shutoff. A repair fixes the device; it doesn't certify the rest of your plumbing.
Keep your records straight
Make the device accessible and tell us about parking, gates, and operating-hour limits before the visit. File completed test reports with your past records and utility notices — that history makes next year's renewal simple. Express Drain & Sewer Cleaning is based at 5801 Mayo St in Hollywood and open 24 hours, serving Miami-Dade and Broward, plus select Palm Beach County properties. Call (954) 763-2520 with your device details, notice, and deadline to schedule backflow testing.
