Understanding Backflow and Its Risks

Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction than intended, potentially introducing contaminants into the clean water supply. This can happen due to:

  • Back-siphonage: Negative pressure in the supply line.
  • Back-pressure: Higher pressure in the private system than the public supply.

Risks of backflow include:

  • Introduction of chemicals, bacteria, or other pollutants into drinking water.
  • Potential health hazards for building occupants.
  • Contamination of the public water supply.

FAQ: Backflow Prevention Services

Most local regulations require annual testing of backflow prevention devices. We can help you stay compliant with regular testing and certification services.

Backflow prevention is necessary for any property with potential cross-connections between potable water and non-potable sources. This includes many businesses, multi-family residences, and homes with irrigation systems or pools.

If a device fails, we can often repair it on the spot. If replacement is necessary, we'll provide options and ensure your water system remains protected and compliant.

To meet legal requirements, backflow prevention devices must be installed and tested by certified professionals. Our team is fully certified and experienced in all aspects of backflow prevention.

Most installations can be completed in a few hours. However, complex systems may require more time. We'll provide a time estimate based on your specific situation.
