What Is Backflow?

Backflow is when the pressure in a typical plumbing system fails and the distribution of water goes to the opposite direction. When this happens, water can become contaminated with pollutants, which can be hazardous to your health.

Backflow Prevention Devices

A Backflow Prevention Device is used to protect water supplies from contamination. We encourage all homeowners to test their device at least once a year to ensure it is working properly. Failure to test this could lead to a harmful backflow in the future.

What Is Involved in a Water Backflow Test?

Backflow tests are quite simple when done by our experienced Boston plumbers. The device does have test ports, which allow the yearly testing to occur. Our technicians will connect our test kit to the device and verify that it is working properly.

Why Is My Water Backflow Device Failing?

If your backflow device is not working correctly, this could be due to water pressure, water quality, or frequency of use. However, only 5% of tested devices have problems. A majority are caused by worn O-rings, cut seals, or broken springs. Winters® Home Services provides thorough water backflow tests and if you find your water backflow device failing, we offer fast repair service.
