Call nowWhat it is
RPZ valve testing & replacement, explained.
An RPZ valve is a backflow device used where the risk of contamination is high, such as factories, hospitals, labs and some commercial kitchens. It has two check valves and a relief valve that dumps water if pressure goes the wrong way.
We test RPZ valves, rebuild them with service kits, and replace units that have worn out.

FAQs
Common questions.
Why is my RPZ valve dumping water?
Usually debris in a check valve or a pressure change in the main. We test it to find out.
Can it be serviced instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Most RPZs can be rebuilt with a service kit.
Will the water be off while you work?
For a short time. We can plan the work to suit your site.
