Some assemblies are past rebuild: freeze-cracked, obsolete, or failed twice. We match you with a pro to swap in a new certified assembly and file the result.
Not every failure is fixable. A cast body split by a Sacramento-Valley freeze, an assembly so old that rebuild kits are discontinued, or a device that keeps failing after repair has reached the end of its life. At that point the right move is a full replacement rather than throwing good money after a worn-out unit.
Replacement means removing the old assembly and installing a new one that appears on your water purveyor's approved-assembly list, sized to your line and hazard level. The certified pro we match you with handles the swap, tests the new unit on the same visit, and files the new device's serial and passing result with the district so your records stay continuous. It is a bigger job than a rebuild, but it resets the clock. A new assembly buys you years of clean annual tests.
Cost tracks the size and type of the assembly: a small residential PVB is at the low end, while a large-diameter commercial RP with new brass and bracing sits at the high end of the range. Whatever the size, the pros in our network price it honestly and only recommend replacement when a rebuild genuinely won't hold.
$800 to $2,000+ by size and type. 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.
