Never get to that step, so I cannot comment on how good the service is. I called them for a backflow test. Sounds like a nice guy, he asked me to text him my address, which I did. After a week later, I contacted them again to ask when will the testing be done. But it appears he had forgotten about it, which was fine. But he gave me a huge attitude about expecting him to have a record about my conversation before, and told me to "be smarter". I don't understand how they can be so rude and unprofessional.

Great! Was flexible, and gave discount for needing indoor and outdoor testings done. Have used multiple times now and would recommend for a competitively priced service!

We asked BackFlowGuy to test our backflow device per City of Columbus requirements. The City stated, that since we do not desire to use irrigation system for season, backflow device is able to be tested in such a manner that irrigation system would not become charged. I asked to be present during testing to ensure no water made it into the irrigation system (If water makes it into irrigation system, winterization - yet another fee - is required). Richard, the backflow guy replied "Call someone else, we don’t have time for this. Richard,, The Backflow Guy". Nice way to treat prospective, as well as past customer.

They provide a needed service and do it perfectly!
Description of Work: Hired for testing of backflow device per City of Columbus. We originally hired via Angie's list a few years ago and we continue to use and recommend him. He does this job perfectly from start to finish and it is an all inclusive service; from the annual reminder right through certifying to the city, with an emailed copy of the certification to me, he (they) take care of everything.

One Pays for Backflow testing using PayPal. One ensures backflow valve has water pressure applied. Backflow_Guy (Richard) comes to your residence, and tests value. If valve meets standards, it is tagged. About a day later, an email provides confirmation of successful backflow valve testing. Easy, convenient, and expedient process provided by BackFlow_Guy and his wife.
Description of Work: Provides City of Columbus required back flow valve annual testing certification.

Contacted Back Flow Guy via email from website, as provided within Angie's list. In the Back Flow Guy ad was the price of the services. Within the hour, a return telephone was had, and arrangements made for testing to occur. The online payment service through PayPal is a neat and tidy manner to pay for the services provided. The next day, the Back Flow Guy came to our home, tested thebackflow device, and applied a seal to the back flow device, indicating it was tested. The following day, a PDF of the completed report was provided to us, and Back Flow Guy also forwarded a copy to the City of Columbus. Very expedient Back Flow testing and certification process.
Description of Work: BackFlowGuy tested our irrigation system back flow device to show compliance with City of Columbus standards.
