Start with your water provider and testing notice.
Backflow can allow water from a non-potable connection to flow back toward the drinking-water supply. Check with your water provider about the protection and testing required for your property and assembly.
The City of Port St. Lucie Utility Systems Department is the primary water and sewer provider in Port St. Lucie. Use the provider named on your water bill or notice; a Port St. Lucie address does not automatically mean St. Lucie County Utilities. We will review the requested test, deadline, and report destination with you before scheduling.
Got a compliance notice? Send it over.
If you've received a notice from your water utility, send it to us when you request service. We will review the testing and filing instructions and discuss repair options if the assembly fails. Same-visit repairs depend on the device, parts, and work needed.

PVB, RPZ & DCVA assemblies.
We test all common backflow prevention assemblies. Not sure what you have? Send us a photo of the device and we'll tell you.
- PVBPressure vacuum breaker
The most common assembly on residential irrigation systems. We test, rebuild, and replace PVBs across Port St. Lucie.
- RPZReduced pressure zone
The highest level of protection, required on higher-hazard and many commercial connections. We test the checks and the relief valve.
- DCVADouble-check valve assembly
Two independent check valves in series, common on lower-hazard connections. We verify each check holds and reseal as needed.
Backflow device repair & replacement.
If your backflow preventer fails a test, contact your water provider about the required corrective work and deadline. In many cases we repair or replace a failed device on the same visit as the test, keeping you in compliance without a second trip.
Devices in homes older than 15 to 20 years may be approaching the end of their service life. In those cases, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued repairs, and we'll tell you honestly which way makes sense.
Inside an RPZ assembly
Water opens both spring-loaded check valves on its way to your property. The relief outlet stays closed.
