Backflow Repair for Gatesville Homes
Most failed tests we see in Gatesville trace back to one of a few causes. Hard water builds scale on the check seats and the relief valve, so they stop sealing. Silt from flooded valve boxes gets into the test cocks and checks. Rubber discs wear out on devices that have been in service a long time, which is common at older homes near the courthouse square. And on farm lines, a device that went through a freeze may have a damaged spring or seat even if the body looks fine. The failed test report usually points to the part at fault.
Repair work happens at the assembly. We shut the water off, open the device and pull the check or relief valve that failed. Seats are cleaned or replaced, discs and springs are swapped for new parts from a rebuild kit matched to the make and model, and O-rings are renewed. Shutoff valves that will not close fully may need replacing, since a test cannot be trusted without them. If we find a crack in the body or bonnet, we stop and talk with you, because that changes the job to a replacement. On Gatesville farm devices, that is not unusual after a cold winter.
Homes, churches, businesses and farms across Gatesville all bring us repair work, and Killeen Backflow Testing is locally owned and operated, so we know the local water and weather. Every repair starts with a free quote that explains the part and the work involved. Once the device is back together, our crew retests it and files the passing result with the city utility or your water supply corporation. Call us with your failed test report or the notice from your provider, and we will set up a visit to get the device passing again with as little disruption as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Gatesville office failed its backflow test during a busy stretch. Can the repair be scheduled around our hours?
Usually, yes. A repair needs the water off at the assembly while we work, so we plan it for a slow part of the day or before you open when possible. Businesses along SH-36 and US-84 often prefer early mornings. We give you a free quote first, then set a time that suits you and retest the device once the repair is done.
My barn backflow device near Gatesville leaked after a cold night. Can it be repaired?
It depends where the leak is. If water is coming from a cracked body or bonnet, the assembly has to be replaced. If it is a damaged seal, seat or test cock, repair is often possible. We look at it, explain which case you have and give you a free quote. Covering or draining the device before the next freeze helps prevent a repeat.
Can a failed backflow preventer be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Most can be repaired. Rubber parts, springs and relief valve components are designed to be replaced, and a rebuild kit usually brings the assembly back into passing condition. Replacement makes more sense when the body is cracked, the model is so old that parts are hard to find, or the assembly is the wrong type for the hazard. We will explain which situation you are in before any work starts.
My assembly failed a test done by another company. Can you repair it?
Yes. Send us the failed test report if you have it, since the readings show which check or valve did not hold. We will confirm the problem on site, give you a free quote, make the repair and then retest. The passing results go to your water provider so the record shows the assembly was fixed and is working again, with nothing left open on your account.
