Freeze and Heat Protection for Backflow Preventers in Sacramento, CA
Above-ground backflow assemblies are exposed to summer sun and winter cold. Even in mild areas, wrapping irrigation backflow devices before a frosty night is cheap insurance against a surprise leak. Freezing can crack bodies and bonnets, while UV exposure breaks down plastic parts. We install insulated pouches, heated enclosures or lockable cages as needed. Protecting the assembly helps it pass testing and last for years.

Sprinkler and drip systems are one of the most common sources of cross-connection risk because they sit in soil with fertilizers and pesticides. Many systems use a pressure vacuum breaker or a reduced pressure assembly installed above grade. We size and install the correct device and set it at the proper height. Insulated covers or enclosures help protect it from weather and theft.
