What Is Backflow Prevention?
Backflow prevention devices are specialized valves designed to keep contaminated water from flowing backward into your clean water supply. They act as one-way gates, allowing water to move safely into your home or business while blocking any reverse flow that could carry pollutants, chemicals, or bacteria.
These devices are typically installed on irrigation systems, commercial plumbing lines, and other cross-connections where drinking water and non-potable water could mix. By maintaining proper water pressure and sealing off potential contamination points, backflow preventers play a critical role in keeping your water safe and your plumbing system compliant with local health regulations.
Do I Need Backflow Services?
If you’re a homeowner or business owner, you might wonder whether you need backflow testing or prevention services. The answer depends on your plumbing setup and local regulations. Backflow occurs when contaminated water reverses direction and enters your clean water supply, creating a potential health hazard. A properly installed and tested backflow prevention device ensures your drinking water stays clean and safe.
For most homeowners, backflow prevention is necessary if:
- You have an irrigation system or a private well
- You have plumbing features that connect to non-potable water sources: garden hoses, pools, or sprinkler systems.
Even a small cross-connection can risk contamination, so having your system tested regularly is the best protection.
For businesses, backflow services are required. Commercial properties, including restaurants, medical offices, and apartment complexes, are subject to annual backflow testing to stay compliant with local water authority standards. In most cases, you’ll receive a notice from the city reminding you that testing is due.
We make the process easy with certified testing, maintenance, and repair for all types of backflow devices.
