What is Backflow and how do I prevent it from happening?
Safe water supply is the utmost importance for public welfare; cross connection and backflow assemblies prevent the contamination of the public water supply. Local authorities require annual testing of backflow devices to ensure the devices are working properly and protects the backflow of polluted water into the potable water supply.
Alfonso Alvarez, President and Owner, was one of the first backflow technicians in the area and is committed to protecting public water supply. Our knowledgeable and skilled staff are experts in testing, repairs, and installation of backflow devices. They are licensed and certified by the State and participate in ongoing training and certifications maintain their licenses.
The test consists of a state certified technician will shut down the water supply to your home or place of business for approximately 2-5 minutes. During this time an electronic testing unit is attached to the assembly to calibrate and verify the device is in optimum operating condition. You do not need to be on-site for the testing to take place because the pipes are located on the side of the property. |
