## Our Process

1. **Pressure Assessment** — We measure static and dynamic pressure at multiple points throughout the property to identify whether the issue is supply pressure, PRV failure, or pipe restriction.
2. **Code Review** — We identify Metro Nashville Water Services requirements for the specific property — including irrigation backflow, fire suppression backflow, and PRV requirements.
3. **Device Installation** — Backflow preventers, PRVs, and expansion tanks are installed at required locations with proper unions for future testing access.
4. **Testing & Certification** — All installed backflow devices are tested by our certified tester and documentation is filed with Metro Nashville Water Services.
5. **Compliance Documentation** — You receive a full compliance package: installation photos, test reports, and certification numbers for your property file and lender documentation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### When is a backflow preventer required in Davidson County, and what happens without one?

Metro Nashville Water Services requires backflow preventers on any cross-connection risk — including all irrigation systems, fire suppression systems, properties with private wells sharing a municipal connection, commercial kitchens, and any property with a water feature or pool. For standard Nashville residences, the most common trigger is an irrigation system: Metro Water requires a documented, tested RPZ (reduced pressure zone) or double-check valve assembly on all irrigation connections. Properties without compliant backflow protection can be disconnected from the water main by Metro Water — which is catastrophic during an active flip or while a property is listed.

### How do you diagnose chronic low water pressure in Nashville investment properties?

Low pressure in older Nashville properties has several root causes that require systematic diagnosis: (1) Failed or misadjusted PRV (pressure reducing valve) — extremely common in homes over 15 years old, the PRV diaphragm fails and starves the system; (2) Corroded galvanized pipes with interior scale buildup that restricts flow significantly — a 3/4" galvanized line with 20 years of scale can flow like a 1/4" pipe; (3) Partially closed main shutoff valves; (4) Undersized supply line from the meter. We pressure-test at the meter, the main shutoff, and multiple fixtures to isolate exactly where the restriction is before recommending any work.

## Pricing
