Backflow is when a lack of pressure causes the normal flow of water to pull from contaminated water sources, such as a toilet or garden hose. Failing to check your pipes regularly for backflow problems could result in mass contamination of the water source for your home and potentially others in the surrounding neighborhood, as well.

To ensure that no filthy water enters the flow of your clean water supply, pipe systems must have a backflow prevention device installed. If you haven’t had your backflow prevention device tested in over a year, it might be time to schedule an evaluation.

During a backflow testing service, our team at Blake Brothers will check your system’s water pressure and efficiency to make sure your water is clean and safe to use. If we find any problems, we can provide high-quality repairs and personalized service as needed.

If you are unsure of the reliability of your backflow prevention device, there are a few things to look out for to indicate it needs to be serviced, including:

• • Leaks

• • Decreases in water pressure

• • Discolored water

• • Noises in the piping system

• • Clogging

• • Strange tastes or odors in the water

• • Outdated system

Being cautious of these signs and scheduling regular tests can help you keep high-quality water in your home or business.

Regularly testing your backflow prevention device can help to ensure your water supply is reliable to drink and use. Our skilled technicians provide holistic and comprehensive backflow testing services to the Huntsville, Alabama area.
