What is a Backflow Device & Why Is It Important?

A backflow prevention device stops contaminated water from flowing back into your home or business’s clean water supply. It ensures water only flows one way protecting your drinking water from contamination caused by pressure changes, irrigation systems or cross-connections.

These devices are required in most multi-unit buildings, commercial spaces and some residential properties. If you have one, you’re required to have it tested every year by a licensed backflow technician.
