Backflow Prevention

Your Complete Guide to Backflow Prevention

In a typical plumbing system, water is designed to flow only one way. Clean water normally enters the system and flows through fixtures and other connected appliances. The resulting wastewater is then collected and removed through a separate part of the system. In certain situations, however, this flow of water can become reversed.

This condition, known as backflow, usually happens when there's a pressure imbalance within your plumbing system. It causes wastewater to flow back into your system, potentially exposing you to dangerous bacteria and other contaminants. To prevent this from happening, many plumbing systems are equipped with a backflow prevention device. Once installed, backflow preventers employ check valves to safely stop water from flowing in the wrong direction. We also offer free water quality testing to ensure your home or business has clean and safe running water.

Are You at Risk of Backflow?

The idea of being exposed to contaminated water is certainly unsettling. Fortunately, not every property is at risk of experiencing a backflow event. Many residential plumbing systems keep their water supply and wastewater systems entirely separate, eliminating the possibility of cross-contamination. However, a backflow preventer may still be necessary for homes with large boilers, lawn sprinklers, or fire suppression systems.

For commercial properties, backflow prevention devices are generally required by law. Commercial plumbing systems are at greater risk for a variety of reasons. With larger networks, greater demand, more volatile usage patterns, and pressure fluctuations are more common and more extreme. Backflow prevention is particularly critical for multi-family dwellings, restaurants, and other properties that utilize high volumes of water.
