WHAT

What Backflow Prevention Does for Your Plumbing System

Backflow happens when water moves in the wrong direction through your plumbing system. This can occur when there is a sudden drop in water pressure caused by a main line issue, nearby fire hydrant use, construction activity, or heavy demand in the area.

A backflow prevention device is designed to stop that reversal and keep unwanted contaminants from entering the clean water supply connected to your sinks, showers, appliances, irrigation systems, and plumbing fixtures.

This matters because backflow can allow substances such as:

Fertilizer or lawn chemicals

Sediment from outdoor water lines

Standing water from irrigation systems

Plumbing contaminants from connected fixtures

A small device plays a major role in protecting your household water quality.

SIGNS
