Backflow Testing in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53172
6% of buildings have 20 or more units.
Free to homeowners in South Milwaukee — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In South Milwaukee, 6% of buildings have twenty or more units. A containment assembly protects the public main and is tested on the purveyor’s schedule; the certificate reaching the purveyor is what the test is for.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, table B25024, five-year estimates. A margin of error is published alongside every estimate.
South Milwaukee has little large multi-unit stock — 6% of buildings carry twenty units or more — which means the assemblies needing an annual test are mostly small ones.
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.South Milwaukee in numbers

What makes an assembly fail
Debris on a check seat, a relief valve that weeps, a shut-off that will not close. Most failures are repairable in place with a rebuild kit rather than a replacement.
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.
