Backflow Valve Repair in El Paso, TX

A failed test is not the end of the device. Most backflow valve repair comes down to rubber and springs.

The common fixes look like this. A check that will not hold 1.0 psid gets a new disc and a cleaned seat. A relief valve that spits on an RPZ gets a new diaphragm or a cleared first check. A test cock that weeps gets replaced, since they are threaded in and cheap. A cracked bonnet on a PVB gets swapped for a new one from the same maker.

Debris causes more repairs than wear. After a main break or hydrant flushing, sand and scale can lodge under a check and fail an assembly that tested fine the year before.

Once repaired, the assembly has to be retested, and the repair is noted on the report that goes to your utility.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Backflow Valve Repair in El Paso, TX.

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in El Paso, TX?
Most water utilities require a test once a year. Many also require one at installation, after any repair and after the device is moved. Your utility's notice letter gives the exact due date.
What happens if I miss the backflow test deadline?
Utilities usually send a second notice, and after that some add a fee or schedule a service shutoff. Calling (833) 990-5874 before the deadline is the simplest way to avoid it.
Why is water dripping from my RPZ relief valve?
A steady drip usually means debris is holding the first check open or the relief valve diaphragm is worn. A cleaning or a rebuild kit fixes most cases.
How long does a backflow test take?
A residential PVB or double check test usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. Large commercial and fire line assemblies take longer.
Can a backflow preventer freeze?
Yes. Trapped water expands and can crack the bronze body or blow out the bonnet. Insulated enclosures, heat cable or draining the device for winter prevent it.
