Backflow Testing and Installation for Greater DeKalb

Protecting Residents and Employees From Water Hazards

An exceptionally important part of any water distribution system, backflow preventers help to protect the safety of all the water running through your home or business. Protecting everything from your family's drinking, cooking, and bathing water to the water used at your business, backflow preventers make sure that no harmful solutions are allowed to enter into the rest of the domestic water accessed by yourself or anyone else within the building. Backflow preventers also ensure that your fire suppression system is still up to code and functioning properly. At Advantage Plumbing, we provide fast cost effective re-certifications for existing systems to meet yearly inspection requirements. We can even handle the design strategy and installation of any new or replacement systems.

What Is Backflow?

Backflow happens when water flows in the opposite direction from its normal path. This can cause dirty or contaminated water to enter the clean water supply, which can be dangerous for your family or employees. It often occurs due to changes in pressure, such as when a water main breaks or a fire hydrant is used nearby. Backflow preventers are devices installed in your plumbing system to stop this from happening. They make sure that water only flows one way—keeping your drinking water safe and clean. Proper testing and maintenance of these devices are essential to prevent water contamination and comply with health and safety regulations.
