What is Backflow and Why Does It Matter?

Understanding the Risk

Clean, potable water flows under pressure from municipal lines into your property. Backflow occurs when an unexpected, drastic drop in water pressure causes the flow to reverse, pulling dirty water backward into the clean water lines. This cross-connection can contaminate your drinking supply with chemicals, fertilizers, waste, or other hazardous materials, creating a severe health crisis.

How Prevention Works

A backflow preventer typically consists of a pair of mechanical check valves that act as a one-way street. They allow clean water in but instantly seal shut if water tries to flow backward. When properly installed, tested, and maintained, these devices keep your drinking water safe and contaminant-free.
