When Should You Have Backflow Testing Done?
By scheduling annual backflow tests, you ensure that your home or business is protected from the health risks posed by contaminated water, avoiding costly repairs and compliance issues.
We Put Your Water Quality First
Backflow or cross connection occurs when water flows in reverse and into your clean water supply. This can happen due to pressure changes in your water system, primarily from a water main break or a pipe bursting upstream. Our ASSE experts use specialized tools to test your backflow assemblies for any irregularities or potential issues. This process involves checking your backflow prevention devices to ensure they are functioning properly, so you can have peace of mind knowing your water supply is secure. If any problems are detected, we provide detailed recommendations for repairs or replacements.
The Importance of Backflow Prevention: Safeguarding Your Water Supply
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) enforces laws requiring backflow prevention in homes and businesses, particularly where cross-connections could occur, such as with irrigation systems, swimming pools, H2O powered backup sump pumps and fire sprinklers. In most cases, the compliance regulation is handled by the local water purveyor like your City, Township or County government. Installing a backflow prevention system is a proactive approach to safeguarding your drinking water, avoiding contamination, and ensuring your home or business complies with Michigan’s water safety standards.
A Safer Water Supply for All
A properly installed backflow prevention system helps avoid the health risks posed by contaminated water. It ensures that hazardous chemicals, sewage, or bacteria don’t enter your clean water supply, offering peace of mind that your family or customers are consuming safe, uncontaminated water. By investing in backflow prevention, you’ll also protect your plumbing system from potential damage, which could lead to costly repairs down the road.
