How Often Should Backflow Preventers Receive Maintenance?

You’d never ignore maintenance on your car, and you shouldn’t ignore giving your backflow preventer a bit of attention, either! Your backflow preventer works hard to keep your water flowing in the right direction, and with usage and age often come problems. That’s what maintenance is for! Regular maintenance helps make sure your backflow preventer is working properly, so you’re not left worrying about contaminants sneaking into your clean water.

Morris-Jenkins recommends having your backflow preventer tested and maintained at least once per year. This makes sure we’ll be able to help you catch issues early before they become more serious and expensive to resolve.

What You Get Out of Backflow Preventer Maintenance

Keep Your Clean Water CLEAN

Your backflow preventer’s job is to stop contaminated water from flowing backward into your clean water supply; it can’t do its job if it’s in rough condition, though! Regular maintenance will make sure your preventer is working like it should so you can have peace of mind knowing that the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in is actually clean—not contaminated with who-knows-what.

Maintain Compliance with Regulations

Some homes across Charlotte are actually legally required to have backflow preventers in place; not only that, though, but they must be regularly maintained as well. We make sure that your backflow prevention system is receiving the care it needs. 

Skipping maintenance isn’t just risky for your water quality—it could also mean failing inspections, facing fines, or even dealing with water service disruptions. That’s the last thing anyone wants! And with regular maintenance, you can stay one step ahead of any compliance requirements.

Prevent Repairs or Replacements

You don’t wanna have to pay for a sudden backflow preventer repair or replacement. Like anything in your home, wear and tear happens over time—but routine maintenance helps catch small issues before they turn into big (and expensive) problems.

A little upkeep now can save you a lot of hassle later. Our team will check for leaks, pressure problems, and worn-out parts to make sure your preventer is in top shape. That way, you won’t have to deal with surprise breakdowns or unexpected costs down the road.
