Backflow Repair in Casselberry
Failed a backflow test in Casselberry? Repaired, retested and refiled — same visit where the kit is on the truck.
Casselberry's rule that devices be above ground and not in underground boxes means most repairs are straightforward access — the device is at the meter, not buried. Casselberry tests residential irrigation devices through its own contractor on a two-year cycle, with same-day results and city-issued tester badges. When one fails, the city tells the owner to have it repaired by any backflow-certified company and then schedule a retest with the city.

Quick answer
A failed backflow test in Casselberry almost always means worn internals — check discs, springs, seats or the relief valve on an RPZ — which are rebuild-kit repairs done in place, followed by a retest and a passing report filed with your purveyor. Casselberry's rule that devices be above ground and not in underground boxes means most repairs are straightforward access — the device is at the meter, not buried.
What we
actually do.
Casselberry is dense, older, and heavily irrigated — small lots on city water south of Longwood along 17-92.
We do not replace backflow assemblies — in Florida that is licensed plumbing contractor work. If the body is cracked or corroded through, or the device has been rebuilt before and keeps failing, we will tell you it needs a plumber rather than sell you a repair that buys six months. Once the new device is in, we test it and file the initial report.

Backflow Repair in Casselberry — FAQ
Can you repair a backflow preventer that failed its test in Casselberry?
Yes. Worn checks, seats, springs and relief valves are all rebuild-kit parts and are repaired in place. Casselberry's rule that devices be above ground and not in underground boxes means most repairs are straightforward access — the device is at the meter, not buried.
Do you retest and refile after the repair in Casselberry?
Yes, it is part of the repair. For the city irrigation program, the city's own contractor reports the result. For repairs and for commercial devices, we provide the documentation the city's cross-connection specialist asks for.
When does a backflow preventer need replacing instead of repair?
A cracked or corroded body, a device that keeps failing after a rebuild, or an assembly type your utility no longer accepts for that application. Replacement is plumbing contractor work in Florida; we say so plainly and test the new device once it is in.
Casselberry says my irrigation backflow failed and I have to get it repaired — can you do that?
Yes. The city's notice says any backflow-certified company can do the repair, and that is what we do. We rebuild the device, and you schedule the retest with the city per its notice. One thing to check before replacing anything: Casselberry's own program page notes that double check valves are not approved in Seminole County for this use, so a like-for-like swap of a DC is not the fix.
How fast can you get to a failed device?
Casselberry is dense, older, and heavily irrigated — small lots on city water south of Longwood along 17-92. Call with the make and model off the device and the deadline on your notice, and we tell you straight whether the kit is on the truck.
Holding a notice? Call the tester.
Read us the notice. We tell you who it says should do the test, what it costs if that is us, and — if your city already tests for you — that you do not need us at all.
