Backflow Testing and Prevention Services in Bradenton & Sarasota, FL

What is Backflow & Why is it Dangerous? 

Backflow is a plumbing issue where the normal water flow reverses and ends up back in your utilities’ clean water supply. This situation is dangerous because it can contaminate your clean water supply with chemicals, bacteria, and other pollutants. This can occur when a water main breaks or a sudden drop in pressure causes a siphon effect.

To prevent this from happening, it’s essential that you have professionals install a backflow preventer into your plumbing system. 

Common Causes of Backflow

Even though water distribution systems are designed to keep water flowing in the right direction from the distribution point to your home or office, issues in the distribution system can cause water to flow in the wrong direction. When you don’t have a backflow preventer, contaminated water can flow into the main water supply, posing health and safety risks.
