Understanding Backflow

Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows back into your home’s water supply due to a drop in water pressure. This contamination can come from soil, pollutants, sewage, or other harmful sources, posing serious risks to your drinking water.

Water pressure drops can happen unexpectedly, caused by issues like burst pipes, frozen pipes, or sudden demand surges, increasing the risk of backflow.

Installing backflow prevention devices is the best way to safeguard your water supply. These devices stop contaminated water from entering your home, but they require regular testing to ensure they function properly.

What Is Backflow Testing?

Backflow testing ensures your drinking water remains free from contaminants by verifying the effectiveness of your backflow prevention device. Over time, these devices can wear out or become damaged, making regular testing essential to maintaining water safety.

The testing process must comply with EPA and state regulations. Our certified team has the expertise to conduct thorough testing and follow all required protocols, ensuring your system operates effectively and meets compliance standards.

Our Comprehensive Backflow Testing

We perform detailed backflow testing to ensure all components are functioning correctly. Our process begins with a physical inspection to verify the device’s serial number, model, manufacturer, and location. Once the inspection is complete, we proceed with the following steps:

  • Close the valves: We start by shutting the device’s valves and gates.
  • Check gauge movement: After closing the gates, we monitor for any gauge movement that might indicate issues.
  • Inspect for additional concerns: We thoroughly check for leaks, discoloration, or other potential problems to ensure your system is in top condition.

Signs That You May Have a Backflow Problem

Annual backflow testing is essential to ensure your device remains up to code, though more frequent testing may be necessary if issues arise.

Common signs of backflow problems include:

  • Discolored water
  • Unusual smells or tastes in water
  • Low water pressure
  • Particles or bubbles in your tap water
  • Poor drainage or clogged drains
  • Water leaks

If you notice any of these issues, contact our team immediately. Backflow can compromise your drinking water, so it’s crucial to avoid using your taps until the problem is addressed. Our experts will quickly inspect your backflow prevention device to identify and resolve the issue.

Should your device require repairs, we’ll provide a detailed, upfront estimate of the costs. We offer free estimates, competitive pricing, and flexible financing options to ensure our services remain accessible.
