How often do backflow preventer valves need to be replaced?

There isn’t a fixed replacement interval for backflow preventers. Replace the valve when it fails required testing, leaks, is corroded or cracked, or can’t be restored with approved repair parts. We recommend annual testing and maintenance; many assemblies can be rebuilt before full replacement. In Provo and Orem, our licensed plumbers can inspect, test, and advise if repair or replacement is the smart move.

• Quick checks:
• • Failed annual test or won’t hold pressure
  • Continuous discharge from relief port
  • Visible cracks, corrosion, or seized shutoffs
