Why Backflow Prevention Matters

Backflow is when contaminated water flows back into your clean water system with pesticides, bacteria, chemicals, or sewage in tow. That usually occurs when water pressure drops in the master line (with a burst pipe or firefighting operation). If your backflow preventer is not working, that contaminated water may flow through your sinks, showers, and drinking water.

Stay Safe

Backflow is a serious health hazard if it backs up chemicals, waste, or bacteria into your water system.

Remain Code-Compliant

Henderson business buildings are required by law to install and test their backflow devices on an annual basis. We maintain you code-compliant.

Maintain Plumbing Integrity

Withholding backflow also prevents your plumbing system from contamination and financial loss.

Typical Sources of Backflow Risk

Irrigation Systems – Lawn sprinklers are frequently attached directly to potable water supplies and may siphon back contaminants.

Boilers and Water Heaters – Backflow of hot water or chemicals may occur due to pressure differences.

Swimming Pools – Pool chemicals reverse-flow into the water system unprotected.

Commercial Kitchens – Dishwashers, grease traps, and food preparation sinks are possible backflow risk points.
