Backflow Repairs & Rebuilds

A failed backflow test does not always mean you need a new device. Most RPZ and double check valve assemblies are designed to be serviced in place, and worn rubber parts, debris, and weak springs are behind the majority of failures. On Our Way Plumbing repairs and rebuilds backflow preventers across Greater Cleveland, then retests them and files the passing results with your water purveyor.

Common problems include a relief valve that discharges or opens at the wrong differential, check valves that will not hold tight because of debris or worn discs, cracked or leaking test cocks and shutoff valves, and freeze damage to outdoor assemblies. We diagnose the failure from the test readings, then replace the affected parts using manufacturer repair kits — check discs, seats, springs, relief valve diaphragms, and O-rings — and clean the internal components.

If an assembly is obsolete, parts are no longer available, the body is cracked, or the repair cost approaches the cost of a new device, we will tell you and quote a replacement instead. Either way, the work is followed by a certified retest so you have passing results on file. Call On Our Way Plumbing at 216-677-2707 for backflow repair in Cleveland and Greater Cleveland. Same-day service is often available, with free quotes and a workmanship warranty.
