Backflow Testing & Prevention in Danville

What Backflow Is & Why You Should Care

Backflow occurs when water reverses direction inside your plumbing system, pulling potentially contaminated water into your home’s clean supply. This can occur during sudden changes in pressure, like when a water main breaks or when irrigation or heating systems create an imbalance.

Even if it’s not something you notice immediately, backflow can introduce harmful bacteria, chemicals, and waste into your household water. Most cities and counties require homes with certain systems to be tested yearly, and skipping that test could put your water—and your health—at risk.
