How We Address Common Backflow Issues
The safety of your home’s water supply isn’t something you can take for granted. Backflow issues, which allow contaminated water to enter your clean drinking water, can pose serious risks to your health and property.
Here’s how we address some of the most common issues:
Cross-Connection Problems
Backflow often starts when there’s a cross-connection between your clean water line and a source of contamination, such as sprinkler systems, hoses, or non-potable water. These connections can create pathways for dirty water to back up into your clean supply. Our team can identify and eliminate cross-connection risks by inspecting your plumbing layout and installing the appropriate backflow prevention devices.
Pressure Imbalances in Your Plumbing System
A sudden drop in water pressure, caused by events like a burst pipe or high usage during peak times, can create a vacuum effect that pulls contaminated water into your system. We address pressure-related issues by repairing damaged pipes, improving flow consistency, and verifying that your backflow preventer works properly.
Faulty or Worn-Out Backflow Prevention Devices
These devices can wear out, corrode, or fail, leaving your water supply vulnerable. Regular testing and timely replacement are important for keeping these systems effective. Our technicians perform detailed inspections and provide quick, reliable repairs or upgrades.
Improper Device Installation
Incorrectly installed backflow preventers can fail to protect your water supply, leaving your home vulnerable. Our experienced technicians ensure that your devices are installed to meet code requirements.
Clogs and Blockages in the Plumbing System
Debris buildup, grease, or scale can obstruct water flow and increase pressure inconsistencies, which may lead to backflow incidents. We use advanced tools to clear blockages while checking for hidden damage that might trigger future issues.
