Understanding Backflow

Understanding the mechanisms behind backflow is crucial in safeguarding your clean water supply against potential contamination. Backflow occurs when wastewater, gases, or other substances undergo a reverse flow, permitting tainted water to infiltrate your freshwater pipelines. This risk materializes when water reverses its course, often from irrigation systems or plumbing fixtures, posing significant health hazards.

There exist two primary categories of backflow: backpressure and back-siphonage. Backpressure occurs when the pressure within downstream pipes surpasses that within the potable water pipes. In contrast, back-siphonage transpires when water pressure experiences a decline in the supply lines, creating a negative pressure environment within the pipes. This unfavorable pressure gradient may lead to the reversal of water flow, subsequently contaminating the drinking water supply.

Identifying & Preventing Backflow Issues

If you're encountering backflow issues, you might see issues come up in your toilets, sprinkler systems, faucets, pools, and various other plumbing fixtures. One significant reason for conducting backflow testing is the possibility of having a backflow problem without even realizing it. Regular testing plays a pivotal role in the early detection and troubleshooting of any issues within your backflow prevention system.

Backflow Testing Procedure

Backflow certification is a must for both homes and businesses with backflow prevention systems. It's required annually to make sure these devices are working correctly and protecting our drinking water. The testing itself doesn't take too long, but be ready for a brief water shut-off during the process.


Here's what happens during backflow testing:


  • We turn off your water supply.
  • Check how well your backflow device is doing.
  • Make sure the water's flowing in the right direction.
  • Clean up any check valves.
  • Hook up test hoses.
  • Watch the gauges for any movements while closing valves.
  • Ensure relief valves kick in when they're supposed to.
