Why Do I Need a Backflow Preventer System?
When water flows back into the main water supply from your home or business it can contaminate the water supply, creating a public health hazard. Backflow can occur when the water pressure forcing water into your plumbing system decreases or loses pressure; this can be caused by a number of things, such as when there’s a break in the line due to freezing or maintenance, or a fire hydrant being opened.
When backflow occurs, it can contaminate the public drinking supply with:
- Sewage/Human waste
- Chlorine from pools
- Soaps/detergents
- Fertilizers/pesticides
A properly installed backflow preventer system ensures your plumbing system won’t cause a public health hazard.
Water backflow can also cause foundation damage to your home or business, which can lead to a host of structural issues that can become very costly.
