What is a Backflow System?
A backflow system is a critical component in your plumbing infrastructure designed to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply. It works by using valves and other mechanisms to maintain a one-way flow of water, ensuring that once water has been used or exposed to potential contaminants, it cannot return to the potable water supply. This system is essential in preventing pollutants, chemicals, and harmful bacteria from entering drinking water, thereby protecting public health.
Local Regulatory Requirements
Backflow prevention and testing are regulated by municipal authorities and water management entities to ensure public safety. In South Houston and surrounding areas, the Houston Public Works and other local water management authorities oversee the regulations for backflow systems. According to local codes, annual testing by certified professionals is required to ensure that backflow prevention devices are functioning correctly. For more detailed information on these requirements, you can visit the Houston Public Works Backflow Prevention Program.
Backflow Testing
Backflow systems should be tested annually to ensure they are functioning correctly. During a backflow test, our certified technicians will inspect valves, check for leaks, and ensure the system is preventing contaminants from entering your water supply. Regular testing is crucial for preventing harmful substances like pesticides, chemicals, and waste from contaminating drinking water. It is not only a safety measure but often a legal requirement. For more information on local regulations, visit Houston Public Works.
