Types of Backflow Preventers

Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ)

Required for high-hazard applications. Provides the highest level of protection with double check valves and an intermediate relief valve. Used where contamination could cause health hazards.

Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA)

Used for low to moderate hazard applications. Two independently operating check valves in series. Common for fire suppression connections and irrigation.

Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB)

Used for irrigation systems and other non-pressurized applications. Prevents back-siphonage but not back-pressure. Must be installed above the highest outlet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't see your question here? Call us, we're happy to walk through it.

Call 504-500-4709

Louisiana health code requires annual testing for any commercial property with a backflow prevention device, enforced locally by the Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans or the equivalent water authority in your parish. We track your test date and handle scheduling so you don’t have to worry about missing it.

You risk citations, fines, and in some cases water service interruption until the test is completed. If you’ve missed a deadline, we can usually get a technician out quickly to bring you back into compliance.

It depends on your water system’s cross-connection risk. Restaurants, medical and dental offices, properties with fire suppression or irrigation systems, and any facility with a potential contamination risk typically need one. If you’re not sure whether your property requires it, we can assess your system.

We diagnose the issue on the spot, quote the repair, and in most cases fix it same-day, then re-test and file the passing report with your water authority, often all in one visit.
