Backflow Device Rebuild Kits in New Orleans, LA

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 New Orleans, LA 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 New Orleans, LA.

Talk to a person
Why is water dripping from my RPZ relief valve?
A steady drip usually means debris is holding the first check open or the relief valve diaphragm is worn. A cleaning or a rebuild kit fixes most cases.
Does my lawn sprinkler system in New Orleans, LA 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.
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.
