When replacement may be the right choice
An irrigation backflow device usually needs replacement if it repeatedly fails testing, has visible corrosion or cracks, leaks from the body, or no longer meets current code requirements. In some cases, a repair can solve the issue, but older units with worn internal parts may be more cost-effective to replace than continue servicing.
Common signs to watch for
- Water leaking from the valve assembly
- Rust, mineral buildup, or damaged fittings
- Sticking shutoff valves or weak operation
- Repeated test failures after repairs
- A unit that is outdated or no longer supported
