RTS Plumbing, with its extensive experience, is your go-to choice for all-inclusive backflow testing and certification services. Our primary mission is to safeguard your water supply by effectively preventing backflow, a potentially harmful condition where polluted water can reverse its course into your uncontaminated water supply.
Understanding Backflow and Its Potential Risks
Backflow in plumbing refers to an undesired reversal of water flow. This can occur due to sudden pressure changes in your pipes, often caused by a water main break or extensive water usage in the vicinity. Backflow poses a serious health hazard as it can introduce contaminants such as bacteria, chemicals, and other harmful substances from non-potable water sources into your drinking water supply.
- Water Contamination – Backflow can lead to the contamination of your clean drinking water with pollutants, impurities, and harmful substances.
- Illnesses – Contaminated water poses health risks as it may contain viruses, chemicals, bacteria, and other other pathogens that can cause serious illnesses when ingested.
- Plumbing Damage – Water backflow can add stress to your plumbing system, potentially causing damage to valves, fixtures, and pipes.
- Costly Backflow Repairs – Mitigating the backflow effects and restoring water quality can be expensive, including the need for equipment replacement and system flushing.
