Signs a Backflow Preventer Needs Attention

Contact your service provider if an assembly fails a test, develops a leak or shows damage. Corrosion, a change in water pressure or unusual noise also deserves evaluation, although those observations alone do not identify a failed component.

What You See Depends on the Assembly

A reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assembly has a relief valve that can discharge water when pressure conditions change or a check valve is not working correctly. Persistent or unexpected discharge needs evaluation. Never plug the relief opening to stop the water.

A double check valve assembly has no relief valve and can fail internally without an obvious external sign. That is why a clean exterior does not replace the performance testing required for a testable assembly. Share both visible concerns and test findings so the service team can investigate the cause.

Repair Options for Your Backflow Assembly

Emergency Repair: Major leaks, equipment failure, or disruptions to your business’s water supply can require immediate backflow preventer repair. Roto-Rooter is available to quickly diagnose the issue, make necessary repairs, and help restore proper operation.

Scheduled Repair: Minor leaks, worn parts, or issues found during routine testing can often be handled with a scheduled repair before they become bigger problems. Roto-Rooter can help keep your business’s backflow preventer working properly with convenient, professional repair service.

Should I Repair or Replace My Backflow Preventer?

Many failures come down to worn internal parts, like check valve springs and or seals, that can be rebuilt in place. An assembly that fails repeatedly, is significantly corroded, or is well past its expected service life is usually a better candidate for full replacement.

A Roto-Rooter technician can work with you to assess the assembly on-site and recommend the right options.

What Happens After a Repair?

After a repair, discuss the performance testing needed to verify operation and any report your water provider requires. Keep the repair and test records together for future service visits.

See commercial backflow testing for more about this step. To discuss a failed test or leaking assembly, request backflow service.

Backflow Repair - Customer Reviews

We needed our vacuum breaker on our sprinkler system replaced, and Steve (898) went above and beyond for us. He worked in the heat, doing what needed to be done. When the job was complete, he went the extra mile and walked us through where our shutoff valves were, as we just purchased the home two weeks ago. Roto-Rooter came as a personal recommendation to us, and we will be recommending them in the future. Brittany D

My sprinkler system backflow was leaking. I called Roto-Rooter and they came within 35 minutes. They were able to get the parts to replace backflow valve and came back to repair the same day. Very professional work. Also showed me the problem from the old system once removed and explained how to maintain to ensure system works as it should.Excellent work! Randall F

Just had our two hose bibs and our RPZ device for our autofill backup for our pool replaced. Canon Martinka was dispatched to our house within the our and was extremely efficient and had everything done/replaced within a few hours. Colin K

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my backflow preventer fail its test?

Common causes include worn internal valve parts, debris in the device, corrosion, or freeze damage. A technician can diagnose the specific cause.

Can a backflow preventer be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

The cause and the device's condition determine the answer. Many issues can be repaired in place; a device that fails repeatedly or is significantly corroded is usually better replaced.

Is a repaired backflow preventer tested again afterward?

Post-repair testing and reporting depend on the assembly and local requirements. Your service team can explain the checks needed to verify operation and any documentation your water provider requires.

How quickly can a failed backflow preventer be repaired?

Roto-Rooter is available 24/7, 365 days a year, for commercial plumbing issues; a technician can assess timing for your specific situation when you schedule service.

Can a backflow preventer be repaired without shutting off water to the entire building?

The water interruption depends on the assembly's location and the property's piping arrangement. A technician can assess the setup and confirm which water supply needs to be shut off for the repair.
