Backflow Device Rebuild Kits in Albany, NY

Every major backflow brand sells rebuild kits. A full kit for a 3/4 inch RPZ usually includes the check discs, O-rings, the relief valve diaphragm and seat seals. Spring kits are often sold separately.

A rebuild makes sense when the body is sound but the rubber has aged. Rubber in a device that sits in direct sun or chlorinated water hardens and stops sealing. A rebuild brings the device back to near-new performance for a fraction of a replacement.

The technician shuts the device down, pulls the covers, removes each check module, cleans the seats and fits the new parts. Seats that are pitted or scored may need replacing too, and some brands sell replaceable seats.

After the rebuild the device must pass a full test before it goes back on the utility's records.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects Albany, NY property owners with technicians who stock rebuild kits for Watts, Zurn Wilkins, Febco and Apollo devices and handle the follow-up backflow testing. Call (833) 990-5874 for backflow prevention repairs.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Backflow Device Rebuild Kits in Albany, NY.

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in Albany, NY?
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.
Does my lawn sprinkler system in Albany, NY need a backflow preventer?
Almost every US plumbing code requires one on irrigation, since fertilizer, pesticide and standing water at the heads can siphon back. The device type depends on local code and how the system is laid out.
Can a backflow preventer freeze?
Yes. Trapped water expands and can crack the bronze body or blow out the bonnet. Insulated enclosures, heat cable or draining the device for winter prevent it.
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.
How much does backflow testing cost in Albany, NY?
Pricing depends on device type, size and the local market. Call (833) 990-5874 for current pricing on backflow testing in Albany, NY.
