About This Service

What Is Backflow and Why Does It Matter?

Backflow happens when water pressure drops and water reverses direction, pulling water from irrigation systems, boilers, fire sprinklers or commercial equipment back into the public supply. That water can contain fertilizers, chemicals or bacteria.

A properly installed and maintained backflow prevention device stops this from happening. Many properties with irrigation systems, fire sprinklers or commercial equipment are required to have a device and test it regularly. We handle installation, testing and repairs so you stay protected and compliant.
