What is Backflow—and Why Does It Matter?
Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows backward into your clean water supply. This can happen due to pressure changes in the plumbing system, such as during a burst pipe, fire hydrant use, or water main break.
Without a proper backflow preventer, your business could be vulnerable to:
- Cross-contamination of drinking water
- Health code violations
- Costly damage or fines from city officials
- Interruptions to operations or services
Local regulations require annual testing and certified devices in most commercial buildings.
