Backflow Assembly Testing

Annual third-party testing of your backflow prevention devices — required by Iowa American Water for all commercial accounts in their service area. Priced per device.

  • All assembly types: RP, DC, PVB, DCDA, RPDA
  • State-certified Iowa BPAT procedures
  • BSI Online filing handled for you — same day
  • Detailed pass/fail report delivered within 24 hours
  • Failing device repair coordination with trusted plumber
  • Multi-device and portfolio discounts available

Why annual testing matters: DC assemblies fail silently — no external indicator. Even an RP can pass a visual check while failing a pressure test. Annual certification is the only way to know your device is working.

Cross-Connection Control Survey

A comprehensive walk-through of your facility's plumbing to identify every cross-connection hazard point. Required for new accounts, high-hazard facilities, and properties flagged by the utility.

  • Full plumbing system hazard inventory
  • Identifies all unprotected cross-connections
  • High vs. low hazard classification (determines device type)
  • Written survey report with clear action items
  • Tailored compliance roadmap for your facility
  • Ideal for industrial, healthcare, food service & irrigation

Good to know: A survey identifies what devices your property needs. A test verifies those devices are working. Many new commercial accounts need both.

Starting At
$150 / small commercial
Scales with facility complexity · Industrial quoted individually

We test and inspect — we don't install or repair. If a device fails or needs replacement, we diagnose it on-site, explain the issue clearly, and refer you to a trusted licensed plumber. No upsells. No conflict of interest.

The Process

How the Plans Work

From your first test to fully automated annual compliance — four simple steps.

01
Get Your Test

Schedule your standard $130 on-site backflow assembly test. Call, text, or fill out the form — same-week availability in most cases.

02
Add a Plan

Choose Basic, Silver, or Gold during or right after your service appointment. Monthly or annual billing — cancel anytime with 30 days notice.

03
We Handle It

We track your due dates, send reminders at 90, 60, and 30 days, schedule next year's test, and file your compliance reports directly with the utility.

04
Auto-Renews

Your plan auto-renews each year. If anything changes — a device fails, a test is flagged — we reach out immediately. Your compliance never lapses.

Plans auto-renew annually. Cancel anytime with 30 days written notice. If pricing changes, you'll be notified 60 days before your renewal date. Full terms on this page below.

Why It Matters

Why Property Managers
Choose a Plan

Compliance Peace of Mind

You won't miss a deadline. We track every device's due date and reach out before it lapses — no utility notices, no water service interruptions.

Real Cost Savings

A single waived $100 diagnostic fee covers a Basic plan for the entire year. Silver and Gold members with repair work save significantly through stacked discounts.

Priority Service

Silver and Gold members are scheduled ahead of non-members during peak testing season. When you have a deadline, we get you in first.

Professional Documentation

Every test and filing is archived in a secure digital portal. Audit-ready records for your property manager, insurer, or regulator — any time you need them.

Veteran-Owned Reliability

Founded by a U.S. Army Apache pilot. Every test is performed with military-grade precision and documented with the rigor of a mission debrief. We don't cut corners.

Dedicated Point of Contact

Gold members get a named account manager with a direct line. No call centers, no hold times — a real person who knows your properties and your compliance history.

Disclosures

Plan Terms & Details

Plan Classification

The MCS Compliance Shield is a service plan for backflow prevention assembly testing and cross-connection compliance administration. It is not an insurance policy, warranty contract, or extended service contract. No coverage is provided for property damage, loss, contamination, fines, or third-party claims.

Diagnostic Visits

"Free diagnostic visits" means MCS will travel to your property and perform a no-cost visual and functional assessment when you suspect an issue. The $100 diagnostic labor fee is waived. Parts, repair labor, and work beyond the assessment are quoted separately. Diagnostic visits are scheduled during normal business hours — not emergency dispatch.

Compliance Responsibility

Iowa Administrative Code 567 Chapter 43 places responsibility for maintaining the premises water system on the property owner. MCS performs testing and administrative tasks on the owner's behalf, but the legal duty to maintain compliance remains with the property owner at all times. Plan enrollment does not transfer regulatory liability to MCS.

Term, Renewal & Cancellation

Plans run for 12 months from enrollment and auto-renew unless canceled. Cancel anytime with 30 days written notice. You remain covered through the end of the current term if you cancel mid-term. No refund on unused portion of annual plans. Pricing changes are notified 60 days before renewal.

Service Area & Scope

Standard service area is Scott County, Iowa and the immediately adjacent Iowa Quad Cities region. Fire-line backflow assemblies may be subject to state regulatory restrictions and are evaluated case-by-case. Plans transfer with the property if sold, at the new owner's option, for the remainder of the term.

Plan Modifications

MCS reserves the right to modify plan terms, pricing, or included benefits with 60 days written notice to enrolled members prior to the next renewal date.
