A critical element to protecting your home’s water supply, a backflow preventer ensures that only the intended water can flow into your pipes. Backflow preventers protect against water pressure changes in the municipal water system. This can be caused by fire hydrant usage or water main breaks, creating the potential for back-siphonage, which pulls contaminated water from outside the municipal system into the home’s water supply.

Backflow preventers are mechanical devices, requiring technical precision during installation for proper height and orientation. Licensed plumbers have the training and plumbing code knowledge to ensure that a backflow preventer is installed for proper drainage and annual testing. Our team matches each assembly to the specific hazard level of the home based on external systems, ensuring a permanent barrier against pollutants in your drinking water.

Beyond the initial installation, we educate our clients about how their device works and what maintenance it requires. Regular testing ensures that the internal springs and seals are free from mineral damage, and that the mechanics are functioning properly for home water safety. We provide a clear maintenance schedule so that homeowners are confident in the purity of the water their family is drinking.
