Backflow Repair vs. Replacement Cost in Vancouver, WA
Repairing a failed assembly with a rebuild kit is often the most affordable choice.

You choose the option that fits your budget and compliance needs.
Freeze and Heat Protection for Backflow Preventers in Vancouver, WA
Above-ground backflow assemblies are exposed to summer sun and winter cold. Hard freezes are infrequent on the west side of Washington, but short cold snaps catch many homes with uninsulated pipes off guard. Freezing can crack bodies and bonnets, while UV exposure breaks down plastic parts. We install insulated pouches, heated enclosures or lockable cages as needed. Protecting the assembly helps it pass testing and last for years.
Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly Service in Vancouver, WA
RPZ assemblies protect against high-hazard cross-connections at restaurants, medical offices, car washes and buildings with chemical feed systems. They have two check valves and a relief port that discharges water if a check fails. We install, test and rebuild RPZ units from Watts, Febco, Wilkins and Apollo. Proper drainage is planned for the relief port discharge.
