Common Questions About Backflow Preventer Replacement
- How long does a backflow preventer last?
Most backflow prevention devices last between 5–10 years, depending on usage and water conditions. If your unit is approaching the end of its lifespan, a proactive replacement is the safest option. - Can I upgrade to a more efficient model?
Absolutely. Newer backflow preventers are more compact, efficient, and easier to maintain. We can recommend an upgraded device that fits your system’s needs and budget. - Do I need a permit for backflow replacement?
In most cases, yes—replacing a backflow preventer involves plumbing code compliance. Our team handles the permitting process to make the upgrade seamless for you.
