$149 Domestic · $350 Fire — Test + Certification
One vendor, one visit, every backflow on the property — domestic, irrigation, and fire — tested, filed, and on an annual schedule
Testing and certification is $149 per domestic or irrigation assembly and $350 per fire backflow assembly — priced up front, filed with your city the same week. Most properties split this work between a plumber and a fire protection company; as a Licensed Fire Protection Contractor we handle all of it in one visit, and repairs, replacements, and new installations are quoted flat from the test findings. Kyle Club members get priority scheduling.

Why Cities Keep Tightening Backflow Rules
A backflow preventer is a one-way door between your property and the public water supply. When pressure drops — a main break, a hydrant opening — water can siphon backward, pulling irrigation chemicals, boiler water, or worse into the drinking system. That’s why annual testing is required for residential and commercial assemblies alike, and why several South Florida municipalities now mandate preventers on new connections.
Fire systems have their own version of the same requirement. The fire line backflow assembly protecting your sprinkler connection — on most commercial properties a double check detector assembly — needs the same annual certified test, and stagnant fire-line water makes it the assembly you least want failing quietly. Because fire sprinkler backflow work requires a fire protection license most plumbing shops don’t hold, property managers usually end up hiring two vendors. We hold the license, so one visit covers everything.
The tests themselves are quick; the consequences of skipping them aren’t — failed compliance can mean fines or water service interruption. Our job is making it a non-event: tested, filed, reminded, done.
Members get priority scheduling and the annual whole-home inspection that catches problems before the city notice does.

Do I really need this every year?
If your property has a backflow assembly — most commercial properties, irrigation systems, and many homes do — your water authority requires an annual certified test. The notice letters are not optional. We file the results directly so compliance is documented.
What happens if the assembly fails the test?
We tell you exactly what failed and quote the repair flat, up front. Most rebuilds happen the same visit, followed by a passing re-test and the filing — one appointment, closed loop.
Can you handle every assembly on a commercial property?
Yes — multiple devices, multiple sites, one schedule. Property managers get a single calendar with every assembly, deadline, and certificate tracked for the portfolio — domestic, irrigation, and fire.
Can a plumbing company legally test our fire backflow?
Usually not — fire line work requires a Florida fire protection license, which is why this job normally goes to a separate fire company. Kyle Plumbing holds a Fire Protection Contractor certificate (FPC26-000047) and is registered with the city, so we test, repair, and replace fire backflow assemblies ourselves — same visit as everything else.
What is a DCDA test?
A double check detector assembly test. The DCDA is the standard backflow preventer on commercial fire sprinkler connections — two check valves plus a metered bypass that detects unauthorized water use. Its annual certified test is the same requirement your domestic assemblies carry, performed under our fire protection license and filed with the city.
