A pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) is a type of backflow prevention device that stops contaminated water from flowing backward into your clean water supply—especially from outdoor systems like sprinklers or irrigation lines.
A properly installed PVB won’t significantly affect your water pressure. If you notice pressure issues, it could indicate a clog or malfunction—Mainstream can inspect your system and make sure everything’s working as it should.
A PVB uses a spring-loaded check valve and air inlet to create a barrier between your home’s water supply and potential contaminants. If water flow reverses, the valve closes and air enters, breaking the vacuum and preventing backflow.
Absolutely. Whether it’s leaking, frozen, or not passing inspection, Mainstream’s licensed plumbers can repair or replace your pressure vacuum breaker quickly and in full compliance with Spokane’s plumbing codes.
When it comes to protecting your home’s water supply, few components are as important—or as overlooked—as the pressure vacuum breaker. This essential backflow prevention device ensures that dirty water doesn’t re-enter your clean water lines, helping to safeguard your family’s health and maintain compliance with local plumbing codes.
At Mainstream Electric, Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing, we’ve been helping homeowners in Spokane, Spokane Valley, and throughout Northern Idaho protect their water systems since 2000. Our team of licensed and highly trained plumbers understands the critical role pressure vacuum breakers play in your overall plumbing system—and we’re here to ensure yours is installed, tested, and maintained with care and precision.
A pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) is a type of backflow prevention device designed to keep potentially contaminated water—like from irrigation systems, hose bibs, or outdoor faucets—from flowing back into your home’s potable water supply. These devices are typically required by local plumbing regulations for sprinkler systems and are often part of annual inspections for homes with irrigation setups.
Mainstream’s experts specialize in evaluating, repairing, and replacing pressure vacuum breakers to ensure your system is not only compliant but functioning at its best. Whether you’ve received a notice from the city requiring backflow testing, or you just want peace of mind that your family’s water is safe, we can help.
Most municipalities in the Pacific Inland Northwest require annual testing for PVBs to ensure they’re functioning properly. Mainstream makes it easy. Our certified plumbing technicians handle all aspects of backflow testing, including documentation and reporting to your city’s utility department.
