What Is Plumbing Backflow?

Backflow occurs when water flows in the wrong direction due to pressure changes, potentially allowing contaminants into your drinking water supply. A backflow prevention device prevents this by ensuring water only moves one way. Annual backflow testing ensures your system is compliant and functioning properly.

Common Causes of Backflow:

  • Back-siphonage – Sudden drops in water pressure pull water backward into the system
  • Back-pressure – High-pressure areas force contaminated water into clean lines
  • Faulty or missing backflow preventers – Lack of proper prevention devices allows contamination
