Reasons to Schedule Backflow Testing

Backflow is a term used to describe the way water is forced backward through your pipes as a result of some type of disruption. Your water supply can be affected if unhealthy substances and chemicals are brought back up the pipes rather than being flushed away from your property as they should. Backflow can be caused by many different factors, such as a drop in pressure, a break in the water line, or other equipment affecting the water pressure. You can rely on our experienced Santa Clara County plumbers to provide you with reliable backflow testing and certification services.

 

You should schedule backflow testing to:

• Prevent water contamination

• Keep your pipes and plumbing system clean

• Remain compliant with local laws

 

The State of California requires backflow devices to be tested for proper operation annually. Your local City may notify owners of testing requirements each year, and a list of certified testers are usually included with the notice. Failure to correct any deficiencies and demonstrate passing results is cause for a potential cross connections.
