Backflow testing is mandatory for commercial properties in Iowa — that part isn't negotiable. What is negotiable is how much of a headache the process becomes. Most companies make it worse than it needs to be.
We test it. We file it. We remind you next year.
Backflow assembly testing performed by an Iowa DIAL-licensed tester on every assembly type.
A complete inspection report and certification documentation, delivered digitally the same day.
Results submitted to your local water authority through the required process, where applicable.
Filing and submission costs are part of the job, never billed back to you afterward.
We track your next due date and reach out before it arrives, so the deadline never sneaks up.
The same licensed tester handles your property start to finish — no call centers, no handoffs.
Backflow compliance is the entire business — not a side service. Every job is scoped and quoted before anything is scheduled, and the quote you get is the price you pay.
Testing, reporting, submission — all in.
Confirmed in writing before anything is scheduled. It doesn't change once we're on site.
Anywhere in the Quad Cities service area. Travel is never a line item on your invoice.

Filing costs are built into the job. Nothing gets billed back to you after the work is done.
Most residential backflow devices sit on a lawn irrigation system. If you have sprinklers, this applies to you.
If your home has lawn irrigation, you almost certainly have a backflow preventer on it — and Iowa water authorities require that device tested every year. Most homeowners don't find out until a notice shows up in the mail.
One flat rate per device, quoted before we schedule. No trip charge.

MCS Backflow was founded by a U.S. Army veteran who brought one principle from a decade of military operations into the civilian world: when the standard is "no missed details," it can't be a side responsibility. When you work with MCS, you get a partner who treats your compliance with that same discipline — clear documentation, on-time delivery, and a single point of contact you'll know by name.
