What Is Backflow Testing?

Backflow testing is a simple test to determine if your backflow preventer is working properly. The preventer is a device that is installed on your home's water supply line to prevent contaminated water from entering your home. If the preventer fails, contaminated water can enter your home's potable water supply. Backflow testing is necessary to ensure your preventer is working properly and to identify any potential issues with the preventer.

What Is the Purpose of a Backflow Preventer?

The purpose of a backflow preventer is to prevent contaminated water from entering your home's potable water supply. If your home is located in a place where there is a high risk of contamination, such as a construction site or a place where the water supply has been contaminated, the backflow preventer will stop the contaminated water from entering your home's water supply. The backflow preventer is a one-way valve that opens when there is a pressure difference on either side of the valve and closes when there is no pressure difference.
