9% of buildings have 20 or more units.
Free to homeowners in Knoxville — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer

With 9% of Knoxville buildings at twenty units or more, the testable population here is dominated by irrigation, fire lines and small commercial services.
What this site is
CrossConnect is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect property owners and managers with independent contractors. Backflow assembly testing is normally restricted to testers holding a specific certification and using calibrated equipment, and the report usually has to reach your water purveyor — ask to see the certification and ask who files the report. We carry out no testing, we certify nobody, we do not set prices, and we never charge callers anything. Nothing here selects a device for any installation or states that any assembly is passing.Knoxville in numbers

Who requires the test
The water purveyor requires it, on a schedule it sets, usually annually. The plumber performs it; the certificate goes to the purveyor, and keeping a copy is the customer’s problem.
The paperwork is the deliverable
A test that is not filed is a test that did not happen as far as the purveyor is concerned. Ask who files it and get the confirmation.
