What exactly is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when your water that is supposed to be coming into your home in one direction normally will reverse and thereby create what is called “backflow”. This backflow can allow a potential hazard of contaminants into your drinking water supply. This is what our specially trained technicians are trained to prevent. The designing of water systems vary regarding commercial and residential, but the basic system operation has the same outcome of preventing backflow at all cost. Of course the larger the pipe the more intense the backflow devices are required to keep the water flowing in the correct direction at all times.
There are two ways backflow may occur:
Back-siphonage: which is when there is a reduction in your water pressure. For various reason like maybe a main break that causes the flow of water to slow. Water will follow the least resistance, which in turn will create backflow with possible contaminants.
Back-pressure: this is created when your water system exceeds the pressure in your potable system. This will naturally occur to make up for the loss of water. The potable water system will force the water to reverse its direction. This again can result in contaminants entering your water supply and diminishing your quality of water.
All water systems contain backflow prevention devices that need to be installed correctly and maintained to keep running proficiently. When backflows occur, your equipment is at risk as well for corrosion and possible malfunctioning. Any malfunctions can put you and your family’s health at risk.
Knowing the Requirements and Devices for Prevention
There are usually regulatory requirements for safety precautions, which our experienced backflow techs assure your system is in order. Your water system can produce a lot of pressure that can cause a danger. This is the reason only a certified tech with Plumbers 911 should handle all backflow issues that arise for our customers.

After accessing your system our tech will be able to visualize and test your backflow system for accuracy and performance. There are many options and parts that are included in most backflow systems. All include an air gap that is essential as the simplest and effective way to prevent backflow. This is a simple non-mechanical gap of open space between any of the devices that connect to a valve or faucet. The more intricate complicated devices are not in the open and are not as accessible to the average person. It is very important that your system is installed and repaired with only tested and approved backflow devices.
The most familiar device would be the
Hose Bibb Vacuum Breaker. The hose faucet we all have on the end of our water pipe are specially designed as an atmospheric vacuum breaker. This is one example of an AVB (atmospheric vacuum breaker). Usually, the choices of backflow devices will vary pending the use required and the degree of hazard that may be posed for a water system. You can have faith in your backflow prevention tech with Plumbers 911 to repair and maintain your system with the best and safest equipment.
There are other devices that are used, but can be more complicated to understand and best left to the professionals. You have the AVB (
atmospheric vacuum breaker), the check valve, DCVA (double check valve assembly), the PVB (pressure vacuum breaker assembly), RPZ (
reduced pressure zone device), the SPVB (spill resistant pressure vacuum breaker assembly), and the simple vacuum breaker. With all these complicated devices is why our customers rely on our experienced technicians with Plumbers 911 to handle all their watery system issues, especially their backflow prevention equipment.
