How often do backflow preventer valves need to be replaced?

Backflow preventer valves are replaced when they fail a certified test or show damage, not on a fixed schedule. Plan annual testing and service so issues are caught early in Elkhart and South Bend. Technicians may rebuild internal parts first; full replacement happens if repair won’t restore proper shutoff and relief.

Quick checks:

• Schedule an annual backflow test.
• Watch for leaks, corrosion, or continuous relief-port discharge.
• Protect the valve from freezing.
