Backflow Testing and Prevention
A backflow of water into your plumbing can lead to damage or pose health risks if contaminated water is consumed. Our expert plumbers are here to help keep your water clean by installing a backflow preventer wherever one is needed and testing your water to ensure it is safe. Dealing with backflow contamination can feel like a nightmare when you need clean water. Let us get you Outta the Fix You’re In today.
What is Backflow Testing and Prevention?
Common causes for backflow include:
- Back siphonage occurs when there is a loss of pressure in the main water line, usually from a break or sudden high water consumption. For example, firefighters putting out a blaze can cause back siphonage
- A break or rise in pressure in the sewer line that pushes wastewater back up to the clean water supply
While there’s not much you can do regarding municipal backflow causes, you can still protect your water supply from backflow contamination. Backflow preventers are essential devices for keeping your water safe and clean from pollutants. They are fixed to your water pipes and allow water to flow in one direction but never the other.
Why is this Important?
Backflow is a dangerous issue to have in your plumbing system. Plumbing and sewage removal use gravity and ventilation to carry wastewater away from the house while pressure pumps clean water inside. When water pressure fluctuates and disrupts this balance, wastewater can contaminate the clean supply. Water is the most important resource to have in your home, and using polluted water is a considerable health risk. Bradley Mechanical places the safety of our clients above all else.
