Backflow Testing and Prevention in Warren, PA

backflow testing and prevention in warren pa
If you’ve found your way to this page it’s likely because you’re looking for something specific; backflow testing and prevention in the Warren, PA area. Backflow testing is a vital step in keeping water safe for drinking and it’s thankfully a service that Best Warren Plumbers can offer. What is it exactly?

In order to understand exactly what backflow testing and prevention is you must first understand what backflow itself is. Backflow is when the water in your pipes is flowing in the wrong direction – the opposite direction to which it is supposed to flow. If the water is flowing in reverse it is a cause for concern.

There are a few different causes of backflow. They include some of the following:
  • Break in the water line: Cracked, broken or leaky pipes will lead to a loss of pressure and thus water will no longer flow forward.
  • Back siphonage: This essentially means that the water pressure is the tank has become lower than the water system’s pressure. This causes the water to flow backwards into the tank.
  • Back pressure: This often occurs in multi-level buildings such as apartments or office buildings. The pressure above is greater than the pressure below.
  • Cross connection: A contaminated water source has entered the line.

When and if backflow in a water system’s pipes occurs, it can lead to the water being contaminated with fertilizers, human waste and other undesirable things.

Frequent testing of the backflow prevention system is advisable. Our professional and affordable plumbing contractors have the knowledge and ability to conduct these tests for you anywhere in the Warren, PA or Jamestown, NY area. We can also install backflow prevention devices for you such as pressure vacuum breakers, double check assemblies and atmospheric vacuum breakers. Any of these systems have a wide assortment of check valves to prevent water backflow. However, this does not mean that scheduled tests are unnecessary. Usually this needs to be performed at least once a year.
