Backflow is the term used to describe the undesired reversal of water flow from a source that is either already contaminated or has the potential to become contaminated, causing it to flow back into the clean or drinkable water supply. For example, imagine a situation where a garden hose is submerged in a bucket filled with soapy water at your residence, and a backflow event takes place, leading to that soapy water re-entering your home's drinking water system.

To prevent backflow, the most commonly utilized devices include the reduced pressure backflow preventer and the double backflow preventer valves. At All Family Plumbing, we will evaluate your particular circumstances to identify which type of backflow prevention device is best suited to meet your requirements, ensuring that the necessary protection and safety for your family is properly installed and maintained.
