Understanding Backflow Prevention and Its Importance

What Backflow Prevention Devices Do

Backflow prevention devices are designed to stop potentially hazardous water from reversing into clean water lines. In Norfolk County, these systems are critical for protecting the public water supply. Without effective backflow prevention, substances like chemicals and bacteria could infiltrate drinking water systems, leading to serious health risks.

Changes in water pressure, such as those caused by firefighting operations or large-scale irrigation, can create conditions for backflow to occur. That’s why it’s important to regularly test these devices. Our team understands the intricacies of local irrigation systems and water connections, and we’re prepared to inspect and maintain your system to ensure year-round safety.
