BACKFLOW VS. BACKUP
Water backflow and backup are two separate issues. Simply having standing water in your sink or shower is considered backup. When wastewater is coming back into your living space through the sink, toilet, or shower drain, it is considered backflow.
Although it is the less common plumbing issue of the two, backflow poses a much greater concern because it is essentially polluted water and can contain:
- Chemicals
- Feces
- Fertilizers
- Pesticides
- Other hazardous materials
PREVENTION IS PROTECTION
The best protection against backflow is prevention. Luckily, there are simple devices that aid with this. A backflow prevention device consists of two mechanical check valves to prevent dirty water from flowing back into your clean water supply.
Backflow is often caused by an unexpected and drastic change in water pressure. This is the result of ruptured lines or natural disasters. In other words, backflow is usually caused by problems you cannot prevent even with routine maintenance.
Because it’s impossible to predict when something like this might happen, it’s important to be well prepared. When properly installed and maintained, a backflow prevention device will keep your family’s drinking water clean and safe. After installation, one of our expert backflow prevention plumbers will advise you of a maintenance schedule.
Our plumbers will handle all essential paperwork regarding your annual inspection, and we’ll also remind you when your annual backflow test is due. We’ll keep your property in good standing with the state and local water authorities and ensure your family has clean water to drink.
