Many homeowners are unfamiliar with backflow testing. Basically, backflow is a situation when the water that flows to your tap begins to flow in the opposite direction. The backward movement of the water is what is known as backflow. Several factors can cause this problem, including water main breaks. Although backflow problems do not happen frequently, they can cause many issues, including contamination of your water. When you have a backflow problem, it means that your clean drinking water is beginning to get mixed up with dirty, non-portable water. Thankfully, most modern plumbing systems have backflow preventers to avoid situations like that, but routine maintenance is required to ensure that these parts are working correctly.
