Why This Matters for Residential Properties
Backflow—the undesired reversal of water flow—can introduce contaminants, bacteria, chemicals, and pathogens from non-potable sources into your drinking water, causing illness and plumbing damage. It often occurs from pressure changes after water main breaks or heavy usage. Regular testing ensures your protection device is working properly.
