With competitive price and timely delivery, Disai sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Type of Preventer

The type of backflow preventer you install will have the largest impact on your overall costs. Backflow preventers for garden hoses are the most affordable while the backflow preventer installation cost for a basement drain can reach $1,000. The cost to replace an irrigation backflow preventer sits somewhere in the middle.

System Size

Backflow preventer installation costs also vary by the size of the valve. Measurements refer to the diameter of the valve; these typically range from 0.5 inches to 12 inches. The table below shows how size affects the typical cost range ($35 to $600) for device costs only.

System Condition

The condition of existing pipes can also impact the backflow replacement cost. Working with older pipes either requires that the plumber installs new pipes for an easier installation or retrofits the system onto the existing pipes. Either way, this can increase both parts and labor costs. On average, the cost to install new plumbing is $6,000.

Permits

In some cases, municipalities require that business owners and homeowners obtain a permit before installing a backflow preventer, especially because the devices are connected to the main water supply. If this is the case, budget between $50 and $100, though the licensed plumber will likely obtain this permit for you.
