Backflow Prevention

What Is Backflow Prevention?

Backflow is when water starts flowing in the opposite direction than what it should be flowing. This could happen due to a loss of pressure when you are attached to a municipal system, or it could occur from your home garden hose. When this happens, it can carry harmful contaminants into your home's piping system.

How Can We Help You Prevent Backflow

The issues that cause this problem are often out of our control, such as when and municipal entity shuts off or drops the water pressure. However, backflow can be prevented by a backflow preventer or valve. One way is to provide an air gap. This is an open vertical space between any device that connects to a plumbing system, such as a valve or faucet. Sometimes, the air gap is not an option because there is insufficient space to install an air gap. In these cases, backflow preventer valves can be installed in the plumbing system areas at risk for contamination entering the water supply pipes. Randy's Rooter & Plumbing LLC know the local codes regarding backflow prevention in the Midland and surrounding areas and can help solve this problem for you.
