Backflow Prevention Testing & Installation Near Me

Starting price: Call for pricing

When pressure shifts in the street, water can reverse and pull contaminants from irrigation lines or hoses back into your drinking supply. We install backflow assemblies matched to your hazard level and provide certified annual testing with documented reports your water authority accepts.

Potable water is supposed to flow in one direction: from the main, into your home, out the fixture. Backflow is what happens when that direction reverses. A water main break, a hydrant opened nearby, or a pump cycling on can drop supply pressure suddenly, and the resulting backsiphonage can pull water backward from irrigation lines, garden hoses, or boiler systems into the drinking supply. Backpressure — a boiler or elevated tank pushing harder than the supply — does the same thing in reverse. The classic examples are uncomfortably ordinary. A garden hose left submerged in a bucket of soapy water or a swimming pool. Lawn sprinkler heads sitting below grade after a fertilizer application. A hose-end sprayer with the bottle still attached. Each is a cross-connection: a point where potable water meets something you would never drink. Between tests, keep the area around the assembly clear and watch for dripping from the relief port, which signals a check that needs attention. And never bypass or remove a device because it is inconvenient — it is guarding your drinking water and your neighbors'.
