What Is Backflow Testing?

Backflow testing ensures water supply safety and the prevention of contamination. It involves a reverse flow check or unintended water reversal in your plumbing system. Our licensed plumbers inspect and test devices to prevent potential hazards and cross-connections. Backflow prevention devices restrict water from contaminated sources from entering clean water. Regular testing ensures pollutant-free clean water, essential for homes and businesses like restaurants, schools, etc. Our experienced plumber community emphasises wellbeing and safety.

The Importance of Backflow Prevention with Us

Our team at Glenbrook Plumbing understands the critical importance of backflow testing, which comes with many potential risks. Contaminated water can have fatal consequences, especially when it tends to mix with a potable water supply. Contaminated water harms the environment and health in general, leading to waterborne disease transmission and polluting natural water sources.
This is a significant threat to both humans and ecosystems. To ensure the water supply safety, backflow testing must be conducted at specific intervals. With regular backflow testing performed, there is a sure shot prevention of water supply reversal bypassing the contamination prevention with the potable water supply.
Our licensed plumbers test after inspecting all the necessary devices present within the water sources, including backflow prevention devices, which help to restrain cross-connections and potential hazards. Backflow testing must be a priority if you are taking proactive steps to protect your well-being and those around you, whether a residential property or a commercial establishment; the integrity of your water supply needs to be ensured with backflow testing.

FAQS

Backflow refers to a situation in plumbing whereby water moves backward, letting contaminated water into the pure water supply. This often occurs due to changes in water pressure and can be very hazardous to health if untreated. 

The design of a backflow valve is such that polluted water cannot flow backward into the supply meant for clean water. This in turn helps maintain a healthy water system, free of any contaminants to protect the public water system apart from your own household. 

To conduct the backflow test, all water connections should be available and the area around the backflow prevention device should be free from obstruction. You may also need to shut off the water supply temporarily during the test, which shall be performed by an approved tester technician. 

If a backflow prevention device like backflow valve is installed, it could prevent contaminated water backflow. Through regular maintenance and yearly testing, it assures the functioning of the proper device and that it protects your water supply against contamination. 

Plumbing backflow will be fixed by a certified plumber, who will check the entire system for problems like broken valves, pressure conditions or bad backflow preventers. The solution might be in the form of replacing or repairing those components that would ensure the correct direction of water flow and safety of the system.
