How often do backflow preventer valves need to be replaced?

Backflow preventer valves are typically replaced when they fail a test, leak, or show damage. They do not have a fixed replacement schedule. A licensed plumber should inspect and test the device and recommend repair or replacement based on condition.

Quick checks:

• Failed test or cannot hold pressure.
• Visible leaks, corrosion, or cracked body.
• Stuck or noisy check valves or relief valve discharge.

In Crawfordsville and Lafayette, our plumbers can test and service your device before advising replacement.
