Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction of its intended path, potentially contaminating the clean water supply. This can happen in both residential and commercial plumbing systems due to pressure changes, such as a drop in mains water pressure or an increase in pressure within your plumbing system. Contaminants like chemicals, pesticides, and bacteria can enter the water supply during a backflow event, posing serious health risks.

Understanding the common causes of backflow can help you take proactive measures to prevent it. Backpressure occurs when the water pressure in your plumbing system exceeds the mains water pressure, often due to equipment like boilers or pumps. Backsiphonage happens when there is a sudden drop in mains pressure, such as during firefighting activities or water main breaks, causing water to be siphoned backward. Cross-connections, any physical link between potable water and non-potable water sources, such as irrigation systems or chemical tanks, increase the risk of backflow. To address backflow risks, installing a backflow prevention device is crucial.

These devices, such as reduced pressure zone (RPZ) valves or double-check valves, create a barrier to prevent contaminated water from reversing into your clean supply. Backflow prevention devices are not only essential for health and safety but are also mandated by plumbing regulations in many areas.
