What is a BackFlow Preventer?
A BackFlow Preventer is an essential device installed in your plumbing system to ensure water flows in only one direction. Its primary function is to prevent backflow, which occurs when non-potable water or contaminants flow back into the clean water supply. This could potentially happen due to pressure changes or system failures, risking the safety of your drinking water. Backflow preventers are vital in maintaining the integrity and safety of our water systems by stopping such reverse flows and protecting against contamination.
Our Comprehensive Backflow Prevention Services
Inspection and Cross-Connection Survey: We provide thorough inspections of your plumbing system to identify any potential cross-connections where contamination could occur. Our Cross-Connection Survey evaluates areas like boilers, hose bibs, fire sprinklers, irrigation systems, and swimming pools. This detailed assessment ensures that your system meets all regulatory requirements and that any risks are identified and addressed.
Installation and Permits: Once the survey is complete, we design a tailored installation plan for your backflow preventer. We handle all aspects of the installation process, including obtaining necessary permits from local municipalities. This ensures that the installation is compliant with all local regulations and that your system is properly protected.
Testing and Repairs: Regular testing and maintenance of backflow preventers are crucial for their continued effectiveness. We offer annual testing services to ensure your backflow prevention system is functioning correctly and provide repairs as needed. Our goal is to ensure your system remains in optimal condition to protect your water supply.
Community Safety: We use advanced testing equipment to ensure accurate results and maintain the safety of your water supply. Our services are designed to prevent contamination and safeguard your community's health by ensuring that your backflow prevention system operates effectively.
Types of BackFlow Preventers:
- Air gap: This method involves creating a physical separation between the water supply and potential contaminants, effectively preventing backflow. It is highly effective for situations involving floodwater or other significant risks.
- Valve assembly: This system utilizes a series of valves to control water flow and prevent backflow. It is a robust solution for various applications, offering reliable protection against contamination and ensuring your water system remains safe.
