Backflow Inspections, Maintenance, and Repairs

Backflow Preventer Risks

Designing and installing a fire safety system is a crucially important task. Backflow preventers are required as a precautionary valve in the event of water or air pressure changes. Water main breaks, plumbing updates, and other system movement can unbalance the water pressure that holds your fire safety system in place. 

In some instances, the pressure tank of the water source can get disrupted and undermine the cross-connection that is attached to the water source. If this problem occurs, the backflow preventer is designed to stop and separate the water to keep it clean. Most properties share public water with other buildings so backflow inspections, testing, and maintenance are important steps to keep your community water clean and prevent a very costly malfunction.
