Backflow Prevention in Kyle, TX
Comprehensive Testing & Preventer Installation in Buda, San Marcos and Austin
Owners of commercial buildings must understand backflow prevention — or, at least, trust a plumber who understands it thoroughly. Property owners may not be responsible for the conditions that create backflow, but they are required by law to implement and maintain basic safeguards against it.
Plumber Near Me is here to help you navigate this important aspect of your plumbing system by providing backflow services throughout Kyle, Buda, Austin, and Central Texas.
What Is Backflow?
Backflow refers to water or other liquids entering the potable water supply from a source other than the intended source. Obviously, the intended sources are tested and treated for safety, while unintended sources could contain used, contaminated, or polluted water. Backflow can create a major health hazard.
What Causes Backflow in Plumbing?
Backflow occurs when negative pressure builds up in plumbing. If a cross-connection exists to connect plumbing to a contaminated water source — for example, a garden hose left in a chemically-treated swimming pool — that contaminated water could get siphoned or sucked back into the plumbing and mix with the drinking water, contaminating the outflow. Other common sources of contaminated water include irrigation systems, water softeners, and sewer pipes. It is important to note that a drop in plumbing pressure can occur at any time and may be out of your ability to control.
What Is Backflow Prevention
A backflow prevention assembly uses valves to prevent contaminants from mixing with the potable water supply due to backflow. Two devices typically required include:
– Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV)
– Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly (RPZ)
What Does a Backflow Preventer Do?
Backflow Preventers turn the property’s main drain into a one-way street. Water is meant to flow out of it. If negative pressure creates a tendency for water to flow back into the plumbing, the valves close and contaminated water is prevented from entering the water supply.
