When an RP or DC fails its annual test, it usually needs a rebuild kit (springs, checks, relief valve), not a whole new unit. We match you with a certified tester-repair pro who fixes and re-certifies in one visit.
A backflow assembly is a mechanical device, and mechanical devices wear. Rubber check discs stiffen, springs lose tension, and grit from the municipal main lodges under a seat. When that happens the assembly fails its annual test, but failing a test rarely means the whole unit is scrap. Nine times out of ten it needs a rebuild, not a replacement.
A rebuild swaps the internal wear parts (the checks, springs, seals, and relief-valve components) using the manufacturer's kit for that exact model. The certified pro we match you with pulls the assembly apart, replaces what's worn, reassembles it, and runs the certified test again on the same visit, then files the passing result so your record with the district is clean. One trip, back in compliance.
This is the honest middle path. A testing-only outfit will fail your assembly, hand you the report, and leave you to find someone else to fix it. The repair pros in our network are certified to both test and rebuild, so the fail and the fix happen together instead of becoming two separate searches and two separate service calls.
$300 to $800 typical rebuild. An honest regional estimate, not a quote. The certified pro we match you with scopes and prices your exact assembly, size, and site. Every assembly is certified on the same visit and the result is filed with your water district.
