Backflow Preventer Testing & Repair
When there is a change in water pressure within your building’s plumbing system, backflow can occur, leading to the introduction of contaminated water into your drinking or bathing water. This is where a backflow preventer comes into play. A backflow preventer device serves as a safeguard against this risk. These devices are particularly necessary for commercial buildings and businesses connected to irrigation systems. Having a backflow device installed in your building offers several benefits.
Why Should My Building Have a Backflow Preventer Device?
- Preventing Contaminated Water: A backflow preventer device helps prevent the backflow of contaminated water into your building’s water supply. Among other risks, this affects your drinking and tap water, as well as potential cross-connection hazards.
- Complying with Local Requirements: Many local governments mandate the installation of one as a safety measure.
How Often Should I Have My Backflow Preventer Tested?
Regular testing is crucial to ensure the efficient functioning of your system. Most utilities require annual backflow device testing. In Indiana, a certified backflow tester must test backflow devices. We recommend contacting your local water utility to determine the specific testing requirements.
