We will still continue to try to match competitor pricing when possible during our busy season. We are NOT able to price match new sign ups between July 31 and May 1 of the following year, as each new request involves a special trip.
Please note that you MUST notify us BEFORE we provide service if you move, sell, or do not need service. Once we test or provide other service, the fee is due from the person(s) who requested service. We cannot bill new owners for services requested by another person/prior owners.
Terra Nova is licensed, insured, bonded, and certified by the State of Oregon's Department of Human Services. We specialize in backflow installation, testing, inspection, and repair. Because state law requires you to have your backflow system tested annually, Terra Nova offers fast, reliable testing at competitive, guaranteed rates. We do not charge for failed tests, conduct most minor repairs free or at or near cost. Simply call us or complete our backflow test request form to request your test.
NOTE: We will notify your water purveyor that we're conducting the tests for you. We strive to complete the tests as quickly as possible. During our busy season (spring/summer months), it can take from a few days to several weeks to complete tests, depending on your area. We'll notify both you and and your water purveyor of the results and leave an invoice on the property on the date of service.
We will contact all non-EWEB customers and EWEB customers who have special requirements and/or who have backflow devices inside or not normally accessible to schedule backflow tests. Non-EWEB customers, please include your backflow device serial number and device location (if available) on the form.
