Backflow Repair in Orlando
Failed a backflow test in Orlando? Repaired, retested and refiled — same visit where the kit is on the truck.
Orlando work for us is mostly commercial — restaurants, medical offices, and property managers with several sites — so a failed device usually comes with a deadline and a manager who needs the fix documented. Neither OUC nor Orange County tests private devices for you; both require annual testing by a certified tester and a report filed with the right program.

Quick answer
A failed backflow test in Orlando 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. Orlando work for us is mostly commercial — restaurants, medical offices, and property managers with several sites — so a failed device usually comes with a deadline and a manager who needs the fix documented.
What we
actually do.
Orlando is a half-hour down I-4 or 417. We take Orlando work by the property, mostly commercial accounts and property managers with multiple sites.
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 Orlando — FAQ
Can you repair a backflow preventer that failed its test in Orlando?
Yes. Worn checks, seats, springs and relief valves are all rebuild-kit parts and are repaired in place. Orlando work for us is mostly commercial — restaurants, medical offices, and property managers with several sites — so a failed device usually comes with a deadline and a manager who needs the fix documented.
Do you retest and refile after the repair in Orlando?
Yes, it is part of the repair. The first thing we ask on an Orlando job is whose logo is on the bill. We file with OUC or Orange County accordingly.
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.
Is my Orlando property on OUC or Orange County Utilities?
Look at the water bill. OUC bills carry the OUC name and usually cover electric too; Orange County Utilities bills come from the county. It matters because the two programs use different forms and different submission methods, and a report sent to the wrong one does not count. If you have several properties, some may be on each.
How fast can you get to a failed device?
Orlando is a half-hour down I-4 or 417. We take Orlando work by the property, mostly commercial accounts and property managers with multiple sites. 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.
