backflow testing & repair
It’s always important to carry out a regular inspection of your plumbing system. This will help to ensure that all pipes are functioning well and be able to detect any mishaps.
Backflow can easily occur if your system is not well maintained. It’s recommended that you do an inspection at least once a year and carry out repair (where necessary).
What Causes Backflow and How Can You Prevent it?
Backflow is often caused by a shift in the pressure of municipal water lines. The problem can occur at any cross-section of potable clean water and polluted water within a commercial, industrial, or residential plumb system.
There are several products that can be used to prevent backflow.
One of the backflow prevention devices used by plumbers offers a simple cushion against backflow. It needs an air pocket on one end of the pipe to maintain the pressure in the pipe steady.
The other prevention device commonly used is known as a reduced pressure backflow preventer (RPBP). The device has two valves designed to close when pressure is turned off – helping to prevent the water from backing up.
Last but not least, we have another prevention device called a vacuum breaker. It operates by closing valves when there’s a shift in water pressure in the wrong direction.
In case you want to be safe and avoid dangerous backflow, you can ask a plumber to install a quality device that suits your pipe structure.
