TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM

Backflow refers to the unwanted reverse flow of water or other substances into a potable water system, which can cause contamination. It typically occurs when the water pressure in the system drops unexpectedly, allowing contaminated water from non-potable sources to flow back into the clean water supply. This can happen due to various reasons, such as water main breaks, high water demand, or backpressure. To prevent this, backflow prevention devices are installed in plumbing systems, ensuring water only flows in one direction—from the public water supply into homes or businesses.

Fast, Reliable Backflow Solutions You Can Trust

Backflow repair, replacement, and testing are critical components in maintaining the safety and quality of your water supply. These services ensure that backflow prevention devices are functioning properly and continue to protect the water from harmful contamination.

Comprehensive Backflow Services

At Elite Plumbing Team, we offer a full range of backflow services to meet the unique needs of each client. Our skilled professionals are trained to handle a variety of issues, providing effective solutions to keep your systems functioning at its best.

Backflow Replacement

Sometimes, a backflow prevention device is beyond repair due to extensive damage, outdated technology, or wear and tear. In such cases, backflow replacement is required. The old, faulty device will be removed and replaced with a new, state-of-the-art backflow preventer that meets current safety standards. Replacement ensures long-term protection for your water supply, reducing the risk of contamination.

Backflow Testing

Backflow testing is an essential service that ensures the backflow prevention device is working correctly. Local regulations require backflow prevention devices to be tested annually. During a test, a certified plumber will evaluate the device's performance using specialized tools. The test checks for any weaknesses or malfunctions and ensures that the system prevents any backward flow of water. If the device passes, you'll receive a certificate indicating compliance with local codes. If it fails, repairs or replacement may be necessary.

Backflow Repair

Over time, the backflow prevention device can become damaged or malfunction. When this happens, it can no longer effectively stop contaminated water from entering the system. In such cases, backflow repair becomes necessary. During a repair, the professional plumber will inspect the device to identify the cause of failure. It could be a broken valve, worn-out seals, or other issues. After diagnosing the problem, the plumber will either fix the damaged parts or replace them to restore the device's functionality.
