Backflow Prevention Services In NYC

Quite possibly one of the most important details in your plumbing system, having a flawless backflow prevention system will mean the difference between contaminated and reliably clean water.

Backflow is our word for when your plumbing fails and the dirty water from the toilet, shower, or sinks runs “back” into the clean water supply, what we call “potable water.” Your potable water is what you drink from the tap, what comes out of your showerhead, and what is used in your dishwasher, so it is obvious why this being contaminated would present an overwhelming problem.

To prevent this from happening, we have the best in backflow prevention devices. With our devices and systems, we create backflow prevention, whether in the event of backpressure or backsiphonage, and ensure that your plumbing provides you with the clean water you need while expelling the dirty water you don’t.

Our knowledgeable and experienced technicians are efficient, effective, and highly professional, doing their job with a passion for their work and dedication to every customer. Contact us today to see how we can install, maintain, or repair your backflow prevention devices or system and make your home safe. Call today for a free estimate.

How Does Backflow Prevention Work, Anyways?

When water from the main water supply line stops flowing into your home, and flows in the opposite direction, this is what’s called a backflow. Our skilled and experienced plumbers can install special devices on the water pipes in your home or business that prevent backflow. These backflow preventers work by allowing water to flow in only one direction — never the opposite. As a result, you can rest assured that your drinking water, the water you bathe with, and the water you clean your home with won’t be contaminated by backflow.

What Causes a Plumbing Backflow?

There are two main types of backflow: back pressure and back siphonage

You may experience a back pressure backflow when:

  • A non-potable water source increases in pressure greater than your clean water supply.
  • Pressure changes within the plumbing pipes of your home or business.

You may experience a back siphonage backflow in your home or business due to:

  • A break in the main water supply line.
  • A loss of pressure within the municipal system.
  • When fire hydrants are used in your area.
