Backflow issues can cause serious problems in the household, specifically the contamination of drinking water in the plumbing system. When backflow occurs, there is an unwanted reversal of the flow of water from its projected direction in any pipeline. Winters® Home Services provides Massachusetts residents with effective backflow services, allowing families and individuals to sip on clean, healthy water. We’ll provide a full inspection to ensure proper operation and to maintain compliance with local code.

Schedule your Boston backflow testing appointment when you call 617-221-5899 or contact us online. Same-day service is available!

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.

"Hamza did a maintenance evaluation of the 2 furnaces in my home. He installed a new filter and condensate pump on one of the furnaces, and determined that the other furnace needs to be replaced. He showed me, in detail, all the problems with that furnace. Hamza's manner is one of kindness, engagement, and honesty in a way that led me to trust his assessment. He also advocated for me to get the best person to come and follow up on getting the new furnace, which, again, led me to trust him."

"Thomas Morrissey was a Godsend! Our Heating System was malfunctioning and he diagnosed the problem and expertly and persistently purged a significant amount of air from our relatively new Heat Exchanger. He then diagnosed a parallel problem with a series of air dampers that had also been confounding efficient and effective heating/cooling throughout a substantial portion of the house. Best HVAC service professional we’ve ever had the good fortune to have worked with!!"

"We’ve been using Winters since 2017 and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. Everything from repairs to routine maintenance has been excellent. Hamza did out boiler and water heater maintenance yesterday was polite, engaging, thorough and knowledgeable."

"Stephen came to do the maintenance services on my mini HVAC units. He is professional , kind and really knowledgeable. He actually pointed out something that I hadn't known about and then he made a recommendation for my servicing of the units. Stephen is knowledgeable and he it shared that he had just taken a class recently that updated him on more knowledge about his industry. I always respect anyone that's in a trade that keeps up on their craft. He definitely talked about air quality and how it definitely can effect your breathing. He asked questions, he had answers, and I feel even better about working with this company because of my experience with Stephen. I am booking my next service of my units and requesting Stephen. This company has something great going on here. I would recommend Stephen and this company to anyone."
