Backflow Prevention

When you flush a toilet, you don’t want that water back in your drinking supply. When you swim in a pool, you don’t want that pool water coming out of your shower. Finally, when a sewer floods, you don’t want that flowing through your toilet and into your basement.

A backflow device is key to keeping your modern home sanitized and livable.

Keep Your Water Supply Clean

To ensure that your backflow device is working properly, it requires regular inspection and maintenance. A backflow device generally consists of a steady flow of water away from your home, making an undesirable flow of bad water or filth impossible. When the device ceases to function from wear and tear or a breakdown, this outward flow stops and the undesirables can come into your home.

Due to their importance for modern sanitation, functioning backflow devices are required by law throughout most of the world. They prevent a lot of disease and residential damage by keeping bad water away from your home. To that end, you’ll want your backflow device tested in the near future to ensure that it’s working the way it’s supposed to.
