I was informed by the county that I need to preform a backflow testing. Check rates with multiple approved backflow testers and choose this company since they had the best rates ($89) and good reviews. Technician came out and said he will charge total of $399 for backflow testing. And if we dont get the test done soon country with cut our water. So, I panicked and let him continue with the test. Then he came back and said backflow needed to be replaced. And if we dont get it replaced itll poison the whole neighborhood and get people sick. Again I was too worried the damage it can cause So, I accepted his suggestion to replace the backflow unit. He charged me $2545.99 for the complete job. Asked for the detailed invoice and he sent me an invoice with a paragraph of whats done. No line item for parts and labor. Upon researching and talking to my neighbors everyone mentioned that the company has ripped me off big time. As per my research backflow replacement cost is around $800-$1400. Why a company can charge absurd amounts of money for service like this? This transaction and service seems to be very unfair for the homeowner.
