Irrigation season is when many Bothell property owners remember their backflow assemblies, and cold weather near the Sammamish River is when exposed assemblies need protection. Greener Cleaner tests and services assemblies year-round.
Failed backflow assemblies usually need a repair or rebuild before they can pass. Our licensed, bonded, and insured Bothell plumbers (Plumbing Lic. GREENCH741OS, HVAC Lic. GREENCH769NG) can service most common assemblies, so you don’t need a separate contractor for the fix.

The most common trigger is a notice from your water provider that testing is due. Other signs include an assembly that leaks or discharges water, a device damaged by freezing, or a new irrigation system or commercial build-out that requires an assembly. In Bothell, where a mix of established riverfront neighborhoods and newer master-planned developments is common, properties near the Sammamish River range from older homes with irrigation systems to commercial spaces with multiple assemblies.
Irrigation systems, commercial kitchens, medical and dental offices, boilers, and fire sprinkler lines commonly have backflow assemblies. If your Bothell property near the UW Bothell/Cascadia College campus has any of these, it’s worth confirming your testing status with your water provider. We can help you identify the assemblies on site and set up a testing schedule. For properties with several assemblies, we label each one and keep a simple inventory, so future tests go faster and nothing is missed.
