Comprehensive Backflow Preventer Testing and Installation
Prevention is always better and cheaper than using cures. For this reason, we at Aaron's Custom Plumbing always push for maintenance and preventative measures, such as backflow preventer testing. Your backflow preventer is an excellent system that ensures sewage water won’t contaminate your clean water, but it will require regular maintenance to keep its performance in top shape.
With our help, we’ll ensure your clean water never gets contaminated. Call Aaron's Custom Plumbing today.
Why Your Backflow Preventer Greatly Matters
A backflow preventer is a critical device that ensures the safety of your water supply by stopping contaminants from flowing backward into the clean water system. Without it, harmful substances like chemicals, sewage, and bacteria could contaminate the water you drink, cook with, or bathe in. It also helps you comply with local water regulations, often requiring backflow preventers in residential and commercial properties.
Additionally, backflow preventers can prevent costly water damage and contamination to your plumbing system, saving you from expensive repairs or health hazards. Regular backflow preventer testing and maintenance of your backflow preventer are essential to ensure it works effectively – and that’s where we at Aaron's Custom Plumbing come in.
Signs of a Failing Backflow Preventer
Recognizing the early signs of backflow preventer failure can help you avoid costly repairs and maintain a safe water supply. Here are some common signs that your backflow preventer may not be functioning properly:
- Water discoloration: If your water appears cloudy or discolored, it could indicate that contaminants are entering the clean water supply.
- Low water pressure: A significant drop in water pressure might be a sign that the backflow preventer is not working properly, allowing water to flow backward.
- Unusual odors: Foul smells coming from faucets or drains can indicate contamination, often due to a failing backflow preventer.
- Visible leaks: Leaks around the backflow preventer or pipes may suggest that the device has been compromised.
- Frequent backflow valve testing failure: If your backflow preventer fails routine tests, it’s time for a replacement or repair.
