Many backflow preventers — especially RPZ assemblies — can be rebuilt rather than fully replaced when internal components wear out. We assess whether a rebuild is appropriate for your specific device and, when it is, rebuild it to manufacturer specifications to restore proper function.
Seat & Disc Replacement
Worn seats and discs inside a backflow assembly are a common cause of test failure. When these internal components degrade, the device can no longer hold the pressure differential needed to prevent backflow. We replace them precisely to restore a passing test result.
Relief Valve Repair
The relief valve on an RPZ assembly is designed to open and discharge water when pressure differentials aren’t maintained — but when it sticks open or discharges continuously, it signals a problem inside the device. We identify the cause and repair the valve or related components as needed.
Diaphragm & Check Valve Repair
Diaphragms and check valves inside backflow assemblies are subject to fatigue from water pressure cycles over time. When these components fail, the entire device loses its protective function. We inspect and replace them as part of targeted repairs or a full assembly rebuild.
Leaking Device Repair
If your backflow preventer is dripping, spraying, or discharging water from the relief port when it shouldn’t be, that’s a sign the device isn’t functioning correctly. We locate the source of the leak — whether it’s a failed seal, cracked body, or internal component — and address it with a clear estimate upfront.
Post-Repair Compliance Testing
After any backflow repair, the device needs to be re-tested to confirm it now meets the required performance standards. We perform the post-repair test at the end of the service visit and provide the updated certification report so your compliance record stays current.

Backflow Repair FAQs — Katy, TX
My backflow preventer failed its annual test. Does it need to be replaced?
Not necessarily. Many backflow preventers that fail their annual test can be repaired by replacing worn internal components — seals, discs, springs, or diaphragms — rather than the entire assembly. We diagnose the specific failure point and recommend the most cost-effective solution after inspection, with a clear estimate before any work begins.
Why is water dripping or spraying from my backflow preventer?
Water discharging from the relief valve port on an RPZ assembly often signals that internal components have worn and the device is no longer maintaining the required pressure differential. In some cases it can also indicate debris lodged in the valve seat. Either way, it needs attention — a continuously discharging device is both a waste of water and a sign of reduced protection.
How long does a backflow repair take?
Most backflow preventer repairs are completed in one to two hours. If parts need to be sourced for an older or less common assembly, we’ll let you know the timeframe clearly during diagnosis. We carry common repair components on our trucks to handle many repairs in a single visit.
How soon do I need to fix a failed backflow device?
Your water utility’s compliance requirements will typically specify a deadline for correcting a failed test — often within 30 days. We recommend scheduling the repair promptly to avoid any compliance notices. We offer same or next-day service for most backflow repair calls in the Katy area.
Will you re-test after the repair is complete?
Yes. Once the repair is finished, we perform a certified re-test to confirm the device now meets required performance standards. We provide an updated test report that you can submit to your water utility, so your compliance documentation is resolved in a single service visit whenever possible.
A failed backflow test doesn’t have to mean a full replacement. If your device is leaking, discharging, or has failed its certification, Ory’s Plumbing will diagnose the problem honestly and give you a clear repair estimate before touching anything. In most cases we can get you back in compliance in a single visit.
