Backflow Prevention
Responsible homeowners should do all they can to prevent problems with their plumbing systems – and this often includes issues with flooding and leaks in the plumbing system. Sometimes, a plumbing problem can be out of your control, such as backflow.
Backflow occurs when the water pressure of your home drops below the water at the main water connection. This makes the water in your water supply pipes flow in the wrong direction and mix with dirty or polluted water.
Backflow can be caused by a sudden drop of pressure and a break in the main water supply line. When the water from the mains mixes with the polluted water, it gets contaminated, leading to a health hazard for you and your family members.
If you suspect a backflow problem in your home, you should call a professional plumber to install a backflow prevention device. Once the device is set, it will reduce the risk of polluted water supply.
Our skilled plumbers will assess your home or site to design and create your backflow containment system. Evaluating a backflow problem is not easy and you should always get an expert’s opinion.
Backflow prevention devices are mechanical devices with parts that can break if not installed correctly. It is, therefore, important to hire a professional plumber who knows how the devices work.

Our expert plumber will provide an air gap into your water pipes. The gaps mean that there will be open space between any device that connects to a plumbing system such as a valve or a faucet. The gap does not allow any water to collect. Our skilled plumber can also install a special backflow preventer system. This mechanical device prevents the backward flow of water. Our plumbers are skilled to know exactly where to place the device, for example, a place that has a possible risk of dirty fluids.
