Why Backflow Testing is Necessary
Backflow is when your drinking water supply’s flow is reversed. This backflow creates back pressure or siphonage that brings impurities into the potable water supply. Such backflow can be particularly dangerous if an exit drain starts to backflow into drinking supplies. Chemicals, waste water, and other unhealthy materials are all potential hazards when backflow issues are present.
Every plumbing system has a backflow assembly installed to stop this from happening. The assembly creates a series of locks to prevent the negative pressure associated with back siphonage. However, if these parts start to wear down or there is an issue in their seals, they can fail and the result is backflow.
Backflow testing is designed to ensure your water continues to flow in the right direction at all times. We will check your backflow assembly for signs of wear and tear, run water through the system at various pressure levels and ensure nothing happens that will cause a back siphonage or a reduction of water pressure.
