Our Story

BackFlowRates.com was built from real experience in the backflow testing field. We’ve worked alongside property owners, certified testers, and public water systems (PWSs) all striving toward the same goal: keeping our water supply safe. We saw how confusing annual compliance can be for property owners and how challenging it is for testers to constantly educate, schedule, and manage new customers. Out of that shared challenge came a simple idea: build a single, transparent marketplace where certified testers can showcase their expertise, PWSs can gain visibility into local compliance activity, and property owners can connect with confidence. Our purpose is connection saving time, building trust, and protecting water systems through clarity, not complexity.

Our Mission

Connecting people, process, and protection through clear water and reliable compliance.

Mission Overview

BackFlowRates.com exists to make annual backflow testing simple for property owners, sustainable for certified testers, and transparent for public water systems (PWSs). We believe compliance shouldn’t be confusing it should be connected.

Our mission aligns with national and state water protection efforts, including the EPA’s Cross-Connection Control and Backflow Prevention Program, local Cross-Connection Control Programs (CCCPs), and State Backflow Programs.

By connecting property owners with certified professionals, we help communities stay compliant while empowering experts to showcase their skills without commissions or gimmicks.

Our purpose is simple: clear water, clear expectations, and trusted compliance through a modern, transparent marketplace built for those who protect the flow.

How BackFlowRates Works

BackFlowRates.com makes connecting with certified testers simple, transparent, and commission-free. Whether you’re a property owner, a company, or a municipal partner, our marketplace puts clarity and compliance first..

Step 1 – Search Your Area

Start by entering your city or ZIP code to discover certified backflow testers serving your area. Our search is powered by local listings that highlight each tester’s expertise, coverage, and turnaround time so you can compare with confidence.

Compare Profiles

Review detailed profiles that include certification status, service areas, and response times. Each listing is managed directly by the tester no brokers, no mark-ups, just real expertise.

Step 3 – Connect Directly

Choose the professional that best fits your schedule and needs. Contact them directly no middlemen, no commissions. Your data stays private, and your connection stays between you and the certified expert.

Step 4 – For Vendors: Expand Your Reach

BackFlowRates.com gives certified testers and companies the power to post listings across multiple cities, ZIP codes, and service zones because coverage creates convenience.

The more areas you post in, the easier it is for property owners to discover you when they search nearby. Each post is indexed individually, helping you appear in local and regional search results without any paid ads or extra fees.

Whether you serve one city or an entire county, your listings work together as a connected network of visibility showcasing your expertise, reliability, and turnaround time.

It’s not about your cost it’s about your coverage. The more areas you serve, the more customers you help stay compliant.

Step 5 – For PWSs & Municipal Partners

Each time a certified tester connects with a property owner through BackFlowRates.com, the process of testing and compliance becomes more streamlined for your program.

Our platform is designed to replace outdated tester lists with a living, searchable network of verified professionals each maintaining their own credentials, service zones, and contact information. No more spreadsheets or disconnected phone lists.

In addition, we help educate the public with state and municipal-specific guidance, making your compliance communication easier and more effective.

Together, we’re bridging the gap between customers, testers, and water systems building a smarter, more transparent compliance network across every city we serve.

What We’re Not

BackFlowRates.com is not a lead-selling platform or a middleman between testers and property owners. We never resell user information or charge commissions on completed jobs. Testers keep 100% of their earnings and maintain full control of their profiles, pricing, and service areas. Pricing display is optional and customizable by vendor and location because transparency should work both ways.
