What is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when contaminated water enters into the clean water supply line due to pressure changes or other issues in the plumbing system. This means that potentially hazardous substances such as bacteria, viruses, or chemicals could be entering your home or business’s drinking water if backflow is not prevented. That’s why it’s so important to have regular backflow tests performed on your premises.

What Are Backflow Prevention Devices?
Backflow prevention devices are plumbing devices that prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the portable water supply. They are designed to ensure the water in a plumbing system flows in one direction, from the water main into the pipes, and prevent backflow from happening. Backflow preventers are essential in plumbing systems as they protect the public water supply from contamination. There are different types of backflow prevention devices, including backflow prevention assemblies which are required by law in many jurisdictions. These devices must be installed and tested regularly to ensure they function p generate test reports.
