Backflow Services
Professional Backflow Services in Visalia, CA
When water enters your home, it comes from the main municipal water supply and only flows in one direction: into your home. However, certain problems with your pipes or water pressure can cause water to flow back into the main water supply. This contaminates the water supply and can cause health and safety issues. At Parker & Parker Plumbing, we believe that the best way to reduce your risk of water damage and safety concerns from backflows is by installing a backflow preventer valve. Call us to schedule an appointment for backflow testing services, backflow prevention, and other backflow services in Visalia, CA, and throughout the Central Valley.
What Is Backflow?
Backflow is a plumbing term that indicates an unwanted flow of water in the opposite direction that it should be flowing in. For instance, increased water pressure can cause water to flow into your home in a reverse direction and flow back into the city’s water supply. Backflows are typically caused by broken water mains, major clogs in the line, prolonged power loss, in-house pressure difference, and a home remodeling or renovation that includes a plumbing overhaul. Backflows can be a serious health and safety risk and cause extensive property damage.
What Is a Backflow Preventer?
A backflow preventer or backflow prevention device is a plumbing valve installed on a pipe that only allows water to flow in one direction. A backflow preventer valve allows water to enter your home from the city’s water supply. If something occurs that causes water to reverse its flow, the valve won’t open. It will prevent the water from exiting your home and contaminating the city’s water supply. You should only hire an experienced, professional plumber for plumbing services like backflow preventer installation.
When & Why You Need a Backflow Prevention System
Backflow can contaminate the city’s public drinking water supply with human waste, soap, chlorine, fertilizers, pesticides, bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. If you have an irrigation system or a well, you may be legally required to install a backflow prevention system. Everyone else should consider installing a backflow preventer anywhere that incoming water and wastewater could cause cross-contamination. Backflow prevention devices and systems can prevent major property damage to your home and major public health and safety issues.
