Tidewater Plumbing Co. recently completed a commercial backflow replacement for one of our clients in Smithfield, NC. The existing backflow assembly had been leaking for quite some time, creating wet and muddy conditions around the installation area. Our team removed the old leaking assembly and installed a new Zurn backflow preventer to restore the setup and get the property back in better working order.
Replacing a Leaking Commercial Backflow Assembly
Backflow assemblies are an important part of protecting the water supply, but like any exterior plumbing component, they can wear down, leak, or eventually need to be replaced.
For this Smithfield commercial property, the existing backflow had been leaking long enough to create a muddy work area around the assembly. That made the job a little less clean and comfortable for Andrew, but it also made the need for replacement pretty clear.
Once we evaluated the existing setup, Tidewater Plumbing Co. moved forward with removing the old leaking assembly and replacing it with a new backflow preventer.
Plumbing Work Completed
As part of this backflow replacement project, Tidewater Plumbing Co. completed the following work:
- Removed the existing leaking backflow assembly
- Prepared the piping and connection points for replacement
- Installed a new Zurn backflow preventer
- Made the necessary plumbing connections
- Checked the installation after completion
- Cleaned up the work area as much as site conditions allowed
The finished installation gave the property a clean new backflow assembly in place of the older leaking unit. There is nothing quite like seeing a fresh Zurn backflow installed and ready to go.
Final Result
The final result was a commercial backflow replacement completed in Smithfield, with the old leaking assembly removed and the new Zurn backflow preventer installed.
Backflow replacements are not always flashy, especially when the work area involves mud and wet conditions, but they are important plumbing projects for commercial properties, irrigation systems, and other setups that require backflow protection.
For commercial customers, property managers, and business owners, replacing a leaking backflow assembly can help prevent ongoing water loss, clean up the surrounding area, and keep the property’s plumbing system moving in the right direction.
