What is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when water flows backward into your clean water supply due to a change in pressure. This can happen during events like a broken water main or a sudden increase in water usage. Contaminants from your home or business, such as chemicals, bacteria, or waste, can mix with your clean water, posing serious health risks.
Our Backflow Testing Process
Initial Inspection
- Assessment: Our certified technicians begin by inspecting your backflow prevention device and the surrounding plumbing system. We check for any visible signs of wear, damage, or improper installation.
- Review History: We review the maintenance history of your device to understand its condition and any past issues.
Pressure Testing
- Connection: We connect specialized testing equipment to the backflow prevention device. This equipment measures the water pressure at various points within the system.
- Data Collection: By carefully monitoring the pressure levels, we can detect any changes that indicate backflow. Our equipment is highly sensitive, ensuring accurate results.
Flow Testing
- Simulated Conditions: We simulate conditions that could cause backflow, such as sudden drops in water pressure. This helps us verify that the prevention device is functioning correctly.
- Analysis: We analyze the flow of water through the device, ensuring it only moves in the intended direction. Any reverse flow is a sign of a malfunction.
Valve Inspection
- Check Valves: We inspect the check valves within the device. These are critical components that prevent backflow by only allowing water to flow in one direction.
- Clean and Repair: If we find any debris or damage, we clean or repair the valves to ensure they are working correctly.
Final Report
- Detailed Results: After completing the tests, we provide you with a detailed report. This includes our findings, any issues detected, and recommendations for repairs or replacements if necessary.
- Certification: If your device passes all tests, we issue a certification of compliance, which you can provide to your local water authority or regulatory agency.
Equipment We Use
- Test Kits: Our technicians use advanced backflow test kits that measure pressure and flow with high precision. These kits are regularly calibrated to maintain accuracy.
- Pressure Gauges: High-quality pressure gauges help us detect even minor fluctuations in water pressure.
- Valve Testers: Specialized tools for checking the functionality of check valves within the backflow prevention device.
