Backflow Preventer Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL

A backflow preventer installation starts with one question: what is the hazard? Your water purveyor or local code decides whether you need an RPZ, a double check, a PVB or a spill-resistant vacuum breaker.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with plumbers in Fort Lauderdale, FL who size the device to the line, set it at the right height and leave clearance for testing. An RPZ needs space under the relief port and a drain that can take a full discharge. A PVB needs 12 inches of rise above the highest outlet. A DCVA needs test cocks you can reach with a gauge.

Most utilities want the device tested within days of installation, and some will not close a permit until that first report is filed. Plan for it.

Permits, unions on both sides and a strainer upstream on dirty water systems are worth asking about. A strainer is cheap compared to rebuilding checks every year.

Call (833) 990-5874 to get a backflow preventer installed correctly in Fort Lauderdale, FL, with backflow testing done right after.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Backflow Preventer Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Talk to a person
Who is allowed to test my backflow device?
A tester who holds a backflow tester certification recognized by your state or your water utility. Many utilities keep an approved tester list and reject reports signed by anyone not on it.
What happens if I miss the backflow test deadline?
Utilities usually send a second notice, and after that some add a fee or schedule a service shutoff. Calling (833) 990-5874 before the deadline is the simplest way to avoid it.
Who sends the test report to the water utility?
The tester usually files it, either on the utility's paper form or through its online portal. Ask for a copy for your own records.
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.
Can a backflow preventer be repaired instead of replaced?
Often it can. Rebuild kits with new discs, springs and seals are sold for most brands. Replacement makes more sense when the body is cracked or parts are no longer made.
