What is Backflow and Why Does It Happen?

If there are potential cross connections between your plumbing system and the municipal water line, there is a chance that backflow can occur. This problem happens when contaminated waste water mixes with the community’s potable water supply—often due to backpressure or backsiphonage.

Backpressure is the result of an imbalance in water pressure. If the water pressure in your plumbing system is greater than the water pressure in the city’s main line, it can cause contaminated water from your end to enter the municipal system.

Backsiphonage is also caused by water pressure problems. If there is a sudden change in water pressure—often due to a water main break or when a nearby fire hydrant is opened—contaminated water from your plumbing system will flow in the opposite direction (into the city line) and result in backsiphonage.

This is why a backflow prevention system is so important. It can help prevent problems like backpressure or backsiphonage and ensure the quality of your drinking water supply.

Does Your Property Need a Backflow Prevention System?

Although these systems are often recommended and required in commercial properties, certain homes will also need to install a backflow prevention assembly.

If your property features any of the above, there is a risk of cross connection occurring. Contaminants such as chemicals, pesticides, bacteria, human waste, and more may be introduced into your potable water supply. The right backflow prevention system will keep contaminants out and your drinking water safe.

Relentless Home Services can help you install an appropriate, county-approved backflow prevention assembly. Types of systems we provide include double check detector assemblies, double check assemblies, and reduced pressure principle assemblies.
