A report due this week? Rush it.
Email a photo of the completed test report to file@backflowfiled.com with “rush” in the subject. The same business day you get the authority's form filled from your readings. You approve it, and only then is it sent and the C$29 charged.
How it works
- Before 2 p.m. Pacific on a business day, email the photo or PDF with “rush” in the subject. Later than that, it comes back the next business morning.
- The same business day, you get the authority's own form filled from your readings, with anything unclear asked as a question rather than guessed.
- You approve it with one tap. Nothing is sent before you do, and the report stays yours: you are the certified tester of record.
- It goes where the authority takes reports. Where that is a published email address, it is sent there with the receipt on the thread and the owner's copy at the same time. Where the authority requires a portal, you get the finished PDF to upload yourself.
What it costs
C$29 a rush report, charged only when you approve it. A report you don't approve costs nothing. Rush is separate from the ordinary route, which stays first five free, then C$7. Canada only.
