Backflow occurs when the direction of water flow in a given setup is reversed.
When you turn on the water in your home or commercial space to cook with or wash your hands, you are rightfully expecting clean, potable water to pour out of your fixtures. If this is not the case, then you have a potentially serious problem on your hands. The last thing that you want to encounter is backflow in your home or business, which can seriously compromise the hygiene and integrity of your plumbing system. That is why it is so important to have a backflow prevention device.
Backflow is a situation that develops when an undesirable reversal of flow occurs in a plumbing system. This is a common issue at cross connections in plumbing systems. Basically, wastewater leaving your home can back up into your plumbing system, polluting the potable water supply and leading to a number of undesirable issues.
Backflow may occur due to problems with your plumbing system, such as at the aforementioned cross connections, or because of sudden drops in water pressure caused by the use of nearby fire hydrants. Having a backflow preventer in place keeps water from reentering your plumbing system and causing seriously unhygienic problems.
In many areas, a backflow preventer is actually required by local plumbing codes. Even if this is not the case, though, there is really no downside to the use of such a device on your property. If you are serious about preventing issues with backflow in your home, you are wise to schedule service with experts in backflow prevention here on the Lutz Plumbing, Inc. staff.
Once you’ve had a backflow prevention system installed in your home, it’s integral that you have it tested regularly to ensure it is performing at its highest capacity. According to a study from HomeAdvisor, a backflow test will cost between $20 and $100.
