Backflow Prevention

Backflow prevention

When maintaining a healthy plumbing system, you must ensure the water coming from your tap is clean drinking water and never contaminated by outside pollutants. Without this careful maintenance, you and your loved ones could be exposed to dangers like serious illnesses and expensive repairs. To avoid these issues, backflow preventers must be installed wherever water contamination can occur.

To protect yourself and your family from the potential dangers of backflow, you need help from a licensed plumber who’s an expert at installing, testing and repairing backflow preventers. Contact us today to discuss your options for backflow prevention services. We’ll make sure we find the right solution to meet your needs.

What is a backflow preventer?

When water is flowing through a drain away from your home, a sudden drop in water pressure could cause the water to reverse its flow. When this happens, the water is drawn into the home’s system from the soil, storage tanks, leaking sewage or other undesirable sources. The polluted water and contaminates then get into the potable water that you and your family use for drinking and showering.

The backflow preventer is an essential device that prevents this water flow reversal from happening, helping you avoid serious illnesses and costly repairs.

A backflow preventer also prevents potential contamination of the public water supply system. Therefore, in many municipalities, including Langley, BC, backflow preventers are now mandatory. You’ll need one attached to your lawn or garden irrigation system, fire suppression system, swimming pool, fountains, and other similar water systems in your home.
