Backflow Valve Repair in Mount Pleasant, AR

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 Mount Pleasant, AR.

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.
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.
Will my water be off during the test?
Yes, briefly. The tester closes the shutoff valves on the assembly while reading the checks, so water downstream of the device is off until the test is done.
Does my lawn sprinkler system in Mount Pleasant, AR 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.
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.
