Coastal Inspections, Inc.

Since 2002, we have been specializing in the installation, inspection and testing of backflow valves within the State of South Carolina.

We install only the Wilkins 950-XLT double-check backflow valves which have been proven to be virtually maintenance free.


Elevated for Protection
As you can see from the pictures on the right we elevate the backflow valve within the enclosure box.

This is done primarily to keep the device from making direct contact with the ground and to avoid letting the shut-off handles (blue) from rusting out.

Unfortunately this is a common problem among many of the backflow valves that we inspect and were installed by other firms. Many times we will replace them with stainless steel handles.


Enclosure Box
The box we use is a full depth size, all-green design.

Although they do make a half-size version, it does not leave enough room for the addition of a gravel base.

We also put a 3" inch layer of gravel on the bottom of each enclosure box during installation for better drainage.

You can view some of our installation photos at our Backflow Installation page at Gallery page.
