How often do backflow preventer valves need to be replaced?

Backflow preventer valves are replaced when they fail testing, leak, or are damaged—not on a fixed timeline. A technician confirms replacement after inspection and testing on site. In Seattle and Everett, preventive maintenance helps catch wear, corrosion, mineral buildup, or stuck check valves early.

Quick checks:

  • Schedule regular professional testing and service.
  • Watch for continuous discharge from relief ports, visible corrosion, or low pressure.
  • Replace after a failed test or when repair parts are no longer available.
