Backflow Prevention Devices
The Importance of a Backflow Prevention Device
Backflow prevention devices are responsible for protecting our drinking water supplies from contamination and pollution. Backflow is when water flows in the wrong direction, which can happen when water pressure drops due to a burst main, frozen pipes, or high demand. When pressure drops, contaminated water from improper cross-connections can be drawn into the system. This can lead to water-borne diseases and other health risks for everyone in your community.
Why is it necessary to test and certify my backflow device annually?
Just like all other mechanical devices, a backflow prevention device’s seals and springs can deteriorate over time. By mandating annual inspections for all backflow preventers, the law helps catch failed backflow preventers before any contaminants or pollutants can enter your communities water supply. It might still seem like an unnecessary measure, especially if you hired a legitimate plumbing company to install a high-quality backflow preventer, but it’s a price worth paying for safe, clean water.

The repair of a backflow preventer requires technicians that have the necessary knowledge of how to diagnose the problem and restore the backflow prevention assembly to its original factory requirements. Our technicians have the necessary tools, equipment, background, and licensing required to install, test, repair, and even replace your backflow prevention device.
