What Property Owners Should Know About Subcontracting

As backflow testing demand increases in San Diego during peak water use seasons, a growing industry trend is emerging that property owners should know about.

Some companies are subcontracting their work, meaning the company you hire may not actually be the one performing the service at your property. 

Instead, they send a third-party provider to complete the testing or inspection.

What This Means for You

When a backflow company subcontracts your service, it can impact your experience in a few ways:

• The technician on site may not work directly for the company you hired

• Service quality can vary between providers

• Pricing may increase

• Licensing, bonding, and insurance status may be harder to verify

• Accountability can become unclear if issues arise

Why It Matters

For property owners, this setup can create confusion and risk. If something goes wrong, it may not be clear who is responsible for the work performed. 

And in some cases, this responsibility may ultimately fall back on the property owner.
