Keep The Drinking Water At Your Pittsburgh, PA Home Clean & Healthy
A backflow occurs when there isn’t enough pressure in the pipes to send the water in the right direction. When water reverses, there is a risk of it backing up and mixing with contaminated water that can contain feces, chemicals, pesticides and other harmful substances. Backflow issues can mean that the water coming out of your faucet is a health hazard. The team at Pittsburgh's Best Plumbing, Heating & Air stands ready to ensure your home has the backflow prevention it needs.
If you think you have an issue with your backflow preventer or need to have yours inspected, we can help! Give us a call at 855-544-2378 or message us online today!
What Is Backflow Prevention?
Backflow prevention devices ensure that the water travels one way through your pipes and comes out when you turn on the faucet without becoming cross-contaminated with wastewater. Most commercial plumbing systems have a backflow preventer at each connection point.
Not all homes have backflow preventers, but not all homes need them. They are usually necessary when a home has a plumbing layout that puts you at risk of backflow contamination. If your septic tank or the sewer line is at a higher elevation than your home, you could be at risk of backflow.
