A backflow prevention device plays a critical role in keeping contaminated water from flowing back into your clean water system. To ensure this device will work in the critical moments you need it, S&B Plumbing provides professional backflow testing services. This routine testing helps ensure your system remains compliant, functional, and safe for your home or business.  

What Is Backflow?

Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction within your plumbing system. It can happen due to a sudden change in water pressure, high water demand, hydrant use by the fire department, pump failures, plumbing system modifications, or a water main break. Backflow can allow contaminants, such as chemicals, fertilizers, bacteria, or dirty water, to enter your clean water supply. 

If anyone drinks or comes into contact with this water, they are at risk of gastrointestinal distress, illness, or long-term organ or tissue damage. 

Backflow prevention devices are designed to stop this from happening and are often required for:

• Irrigation 
• Commercial buildings
• Restaurants and food service facilities
• Multi-family properties
• HOA and community associations 
• Fire suppression systems
• Industrial facilities
• Properties with boilers or auxiliary water systems

Regular testing ensures these devices are working properly and meeting local regulations. Most tests can be completed within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of device and condition of the assembly.
