What is Backflow?

Think of your plumbing system like a one-way street designed to bring clean water into your home or business. However, sometimes pressure changes can reverse this flow direction, creating what we call backflow. This reversal poses a serious concern because it can pull potentially contaminated water from your property back into the public water supply.

When backflow occurs, water that has already passed through your plumbing system—which may contain chemicals, waste, or other contaminants—can flow backward into the main water lines that serve your community.

This is why backflow prevention systems and regular testing are crucial for protecting public health. These devices act like a safety gate, ensuring water only flows in the intended direction and preventing contaminated water from entering the clean water supply system.

What Causes Backflow in Plumbing Systems?

Backflow typically occurs in two key scenarios that disrupt normal water pressure.

First, when there's a significant pressure drop in the main water supply—like during a water main break or when firefighters need large amounts of water. This sudden pressure drop creates a vacuum effect that pulls water backward through your plumbing system.

The second happens when pressure builds up on your property's side. This can occur when multiple water sources are running simultaneously, potentially forcing water back into the main supply line if proper prevention devices aren't in place.

While these situations may seem uncommon, they can happen during emergencies or routine maintenance. This is why maintaining your backflow prevention system is essential—it protects our community's water supply during unexpected events.
