What Is Backflow Prevention?

Backflow occurs when your home’s sewage or wastewater flows into your drinking water. It can happen when certain plumbing components in your home fluctuate in pressure. Backflow prevention involves testing, maintenance, and related services that ensure your drinking water stays clean and uncontaminated by backflow from your wastewater.

The Importance of Backflow Device Testing

Backflow prevention devices work in tandem with your plumbing system. These specially designed valves divert water so clean water doesn’t get contaminated. Without a properly functioning backflow preventer, harmful chemicals, bacteria, or other contaminants could enter your water supply, posing a significant health risk.

Testing these systems is important for several reasons, including:

• Ensuring that all components are working together as intended, which minimizes the risk of contamination
• Confirmation of proper operation of safety valves
• Identification of necessary repairs in a controlled way
• Successful tests are documented and certified
• The safety of your home’s drinking water is verified
