WHAT DOES FLOWCERT NOT INCLUDE?

FlowCert is designed to meet your annual backflow testing needs in Berkeley County, South Carolina, ensuring compliance with local regulations, but it does not include maintenance, repairs, or replacement of your backflow preventer. If a leak is detected or your test fails, any necessary cleaning of the assembly, maintenance, or repairs will be charged separately—for example, cleaning a continuous pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) costs $50.00, while labor for replacing internal parts (e.g., plastic washer, O-ring, bonnet, spring) is generally $100, with customers responsible for purchasing the parts needing to be replaced. After each cleaning or repair a subsequent test will be performed to ensure that the assembly passes. For a full PVB replacement, we’ll provide a quote after a thorough assessment, ensuring transparency and tailored solutions for your system.

Additionally, if your water purveyor (e.g., City of Goose Creek) sends an annual notice regarding testing after ST3 Consulting has already performed a test ((e.g., before and after repairs or maintenance), your FlowCert annual fee will cover any necessary testing requirements for that year, ensuring you remain compliant without extra charges. FlowCert subscribers also receive a 15% discount on labor costs for any maintenance, repair, or replacement services (excluding parts), adding further value to your subscription.

POPULAR QUESTIONS

  • When will the testing be done?

    Upon subscribing to FlowCert, we will contact you to discuss the service and schedule the initial testing.

  • What is backflow prevention, and why do I need it?

    Backflow occurs when water flows backward into the public water supply, potentially contaminating drinking water with pollutants. South Carolina law requires testing of backflow prevention devices on residential properties to ensure the water supply remains safe. Our FlowCert Subscription handles this testing for you, ensuring compliance with DHEC regulations and protecting your family’s health.

  • How often does my home’s backflow device need testing?

    Low-hazard residential systems, such as lawn irrigation, must be tested annually. High-hazard systems, like those with chemical additives, also require annual testing. Our certified testers assess your system to confirm its category and schedule tests accordingly, with reminders through our FlowCert Subscription.

  • What is a residential backflow preventer assmbly, and do I need one?

    A residential backflow preventer assembly is a cost-effective backflow prevention device approved for cross connection water systems, such as irrigation. Many homes in Berkeley County already have these installed. ST3 Consulting verifies that your backflow preventer assembly meets DHEC standards or recommends upgrades if needed, keeping your costs low while ensuring compliance.

  • How does FlowCert Subscription make testing easier for homeowners?

    FlowCert’s subscription service automates the backflow testing process. We schedule your annual test, perform it with certified equipment, and submit results to your local water system for DHEC compliance. You’ll receive reminders and updates, so you never have to worry about missing a test or navigating paperwork. It’s compliance made simple!
