How often do backflow preventer valves need to be replaced?

Most backflow preventer valves don’t have a fixed replacement schedule. They are replaced when they fail a certified test, are damaged, or can’t be repaired to meet code. Our certified backflow testers install, test, and maintain devices to keep you compliant in places like Wellington and Fort Collins.

Quick checks:

• Replace if it fails a certification test.
• Replace for persistent leaks, freeze damage, or heavy corrosion.
• Replace if parts are obsolete or repairs won’t pass compliance.
