Backflow Preventer Repair in Malaga, CA
Anti-siphon and backflow valves wear out in predictable ways: worn seals and diaphragms, a leaking bonnet or cap, a cracked body after a freeze. When the body is in good shape, a rebuild with new internals is often enough. When it is not, the valve gets replaced.
If one low head keeps dribbling after the zone stops, the cause is usually water draining down the pipe, not a failed valve. A check valve installed at the lowest point holds that water in the line. We install them on request.
A leaking backflow device in Malaga wastes water at the supply line, before it ever reaches a head. It is worth fixing early.
