What is Backflow and Why is it Dangerous?

Backflow is a reversal of the flow of water in your pipes. This is often caused by an interruption in service such as a power outage. It is a dangerous problem because once the flow of water is reversed, your home becomes vulnerable to bacteria, chemicals and other contaminants that would normally be flushed away by your plumbing system.

How Do Backflow Devices Work?

Most devices that are designed to prevent backflow work with a simple flap that moves in the direction of water flow. If there is an interruption in service and the flow reverses, the flap will move in a way to block the contaminated water from entering your pipes.

If you believe you are experiencing backflow, call us right away. Upon arrival, we will inspect your backflow device to ensure that it worked correctly. After taking it apart and cleaning it, we will test your water to ensure that there is no contamination. If the water has been contaminated, we will thoroughly flush the system out until the water is clean again.

Why is Backflow Testing Important?

Every day, you depend on your plumbing to carry clean water throughout your home. From cooking and drinking to cleaning and showering, clean water is a vital part of your life. When backflow occurs in the home, it makes the water unsafe for drinking and other everyday uses. Drinking contaminated water could potentially lead to serious illness such as E. coli. Backflow in your home renders all water useless since it affects your entire plumbing system.
