Backflow Preventers in Portland, OR

What Is a Backflow Preventer?

Backflow preventers are necessary equipment that stops dangerous materials from contaminating your water supply. If yours is faulty or if you’re in need of a new one, contaminated water could backflow into your clean water supply. Our licensed technicians offer skilled backflow preventer installation, maintenance, and repair services, whether they’re for residential or commercial usage.

  • Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVB): Ideal for garden hoses, sprinklers, & hose bibs.
  • Double Check Valves (DCV): Suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
  • Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Assemblies: High protection against contamination, often required in commercial setups.
