Backflow Repair in Baytown
A backflow preventer keeps used water from flowing back into the drinking water supply. When it fails a test or starts to leak, it has to be repaired and tested again.
We repair backflow preventers on sprinkler systems, commercial buildings and fire lines. After the repair, we retest the device.
Signs a Backflow Preventer Needs Repair
The device failed its test
Water drips or sprays from the relief valve
Water pools around the device
A drop in pressure at the sprinklers or fixtures
Cracked or corroded parts you can see
Damage after a hard freeze
What a Backflow Repair Involves
Find What Failed
We open the device and check the seals, springs and check valves. Most failures come down to one worn part.
Rebuild or Replace
Worn parts are replaced with a repair kit made for that device. If the body is cracked, the device is replaced.
Retest the Device
A repaired backflow preventer has to pass a test. We run it before we leave.
File the Report
We send the passing test report to the city for you.
Sprinkler Backflow Repair
Most home backflow preventers sit on the sprinkler system. They are above ground, so sun, lawn equipment and freezes wear them down.
A freeze can split the body of the device. If yours leaks after cold weather, shut off its supply valve and call us.
