Annual Backflow Testing in Kansas City, MO

Your water utility mailed a notice. It names a device, a serial number and a due date. That letter is the start of annual backflow testing, and Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with a local tester in Kansas City, MO who can handle it.

The tester closes the downstream shutoff, hooks a differential pressure gauge to the test cocks and reads each check valve in turn. On a double check, each check has to hold at least 1.0 psid. On an RPZ, the relief valve has to open at no less than 2.0 psid. The numbers go on the report exactly as read.

Most residential tests take about half an hour, and your water is off for part of it. Commercial assemblies take longer, especially 4 inch and larger devices.

If the device passes, the report gets filed. If it fails, you get the reason in plain words and the options: repair, rebuild or replace.

Backflow prevention only works when the device is checked on schedule. Call Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing at (833) 990-5874 to book your test in Kansas City, MO.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Annual Backflow Testing in Kansas City, MO.

Talk to a person
What is the difference between an RPZ and a double check valve?
Both have two independent check valves. An RPZ adds a relief valve between the checks that discharges water to atmosphere if the checks leak, which is why it is required on high-hazard connections.
Why is water dripping from my RPZ relief valve?
A steady drip usually means debris is holding the first check open or the relief valve diaphragm is worn. A cleaning or a rebuild kit fixes most cases.
Will my water be off during the test?
Yes, briefly. The tester closes the shutoff valves on the assembly while reading the checks, so water downstream of the device is off until the test is done.
Does my lawn sprinkler system in Kansas City, MO need a backflow preventer?
Almost every US plumbing code requires one on irrigation, since fertilizer, pesticide and standing water at the heads can siphon back. The device type depends on local code and how the system is laid out.
How much does backflow testing cost in Kansas City, MO?
Pricing depends on device type, size and the local market. Call (833) 990-5874 for current pricing on backflow testing in Kansas City, MO.
