What Is Backflow?

Backflow happens when water or other substances flow backward into your drinking water system, either from a municipal supply or a private well. Backflow typically occurs due to an imbalanced pressure in your plumbing system, often caused by pressure buildup in water heaters or when a faucet is opened without a water line being active.

Events like water main breaks or fire hydrant use can lead to low pressure, which may trigger backflow issues.

How Backflow Prevention Devices Work

Backflow prevention devices are designed to stop water or chemicals from flowing backward into your drinking water.

These devices act as one-way valves, allowing water to flow into your home from the public supply or well while blocking any reverse flow that could contaminate the main supply.

Protect Your Drinking Water

Without backflow prevention, your water supply could be exposed to harmful bacteria, chemicals, and pollutants that pose serious health risks to your family and community.

Additionally, contamination can cause expensive damage to your pipes, appliances, and fixtures.

Many local government agencies, including those in Troutman, NC, and around Iredell County, require the installation and annual inspection of backflow prevention devices on certain properties. Failure to comply can lead to water shutoffs.

Fast & Efficient! All Office personnel, especially (Theresa), were very nice & helpful. Zach was the installer of the whole house filter system. Very professional & went the extra mile to even call and talk to the well pump company that needed to install a new well pump to have them call me to schedule that service. Thank you JP's Plumbing & Heating for such an outstanding job & at a very good price!

I want to give a shout out to Zack the tech. If you need work done under your 🏡 for drain or sewer he's the one to call. He gets straight to the point gives you the price. And stays with it until the job done. When they give you a time, they are there. Keep up the Good Work.
