Backflow Testing and Repair

Backflow, a reversal in the flow of water in a plumbing system, is a fairly common problem caused by backpressure or backsiphoage. Since backflow can contaminate both your water supply and the main water line, most homeowners and businesses are required to have a backflow prevention system.

A backflow preventer is used to protect potable water supplies from contamination or pollution due to backflow in either system.

Our area Water Departments have taken an important step towards keeping our drinking water safe and pure by initiating a backflow prevention program. This program is designed to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the water mains. This is accomplished by the installation of a backflow preventer at each service connection. Property owners are required to install the devices and have them tested annually.

Well... How do they work?
