Can you repair a device that failed its test?

Yes. We carry rebuild kits for the common device types in the Rochester area, quote the repair from the office, and complete it on a scheduled follow-up visit.

Do I need a retest after a repair?

Yes, and we handle it. After the rebuild we retest the device and file the passing report with your Water Authority.

Is repair cheaper than replacement?

Usually. A rebuild kit restores most devices to passing condition, and we only recommend replacement when the body or fittings are beyond service.
