Backflow Preventer Replacement in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Some devices are worth rebuilding. Some are not. Backflow preventer replacement is the right call when the bronze body has a freeze crack, when parts for the model are no longer made, or when the utility says your hazard now needs an RPZ instead of a double check.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with plumbers in Fort Lauderdale, FL who match the replacement to the existing piping where they can. Many makers sell lay-length compatible models, which saves cutting and re-threading. Where they cannot match, the job includes new unions and sometimes a short section of pipe.

Older devices installed below grade often get moved above ground during replacement so the new one meets current code.

The new assembly needs an initial backflow test, and the utility gets the report along with the new serial number so its records match.

If your device keeps failing every year, replacement can cost less over time than repeated rebuilds. Call (833) 990-5874 to talk through backflow prevention options in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

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

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
Most water utilities require a test once a year. Many also require one at installation, after any repair and after the device is moved. Your utility's notice letter gives the exact due date.
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.
Do I need an expansion tank after installing a backflow preventer?
Often, yes. The device makes your plumbing a closed system, so heated water cannot expand back to the main and the water heater relief valve may start dripping.
What is a cross-connection?
Any point where drinking water piping can come into contact with a non-potable source. Common examples are a hose in a bucket, a boiler fill line and an irrigation system.
