Backflow Valve Repair in Saint Clair, PA

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 Saint Clair, PA.

Talk to a person
What is the difference between an RPZ and a double check valve?
Both have two independent check valves. An RPZ adds a relief valve between the checks that discharges water to atmosphere if the checks leak, which is why it is required on high-hazard connections.
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.
Does my lawn sprinkler system in Saint Clair, PA need a backflow preventer?
Almost every US plumbing code requires one on irrigation, since fertilizer, pesticide and standing water at the heads can siphon back. The device type depends on local code and how the system is laid out.
Do I need an expansion tank after installing a backflow preventer?
Often, yes. The device makes your plumbing a closed system, so heated water cannot expand back to the main and the water heater relief valve may start dripping.
Is fire sprinkler backflow testing different?
Yes. Along with the standard check valve test, NFPA 25 calls for an annual forward flow test on fire line backflow assemblies. Results often go to both the water utility and the fire authority.
