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.

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.

"After dealing with a few plumbing companies about a leakly pipe joint, I decided to go with Winters Home Services because their response was good. Before starting any work, the technician, John C, explained how he’d repair the pipe and gave me an estimate.That simple step goes a long way in making a customer feel at ease, and it's a detail some plumbers skip. John was also very friendly and fixed the pipe quickly."

"Scott Farrell came to my rescue when my water heater failed a year before expected. It is an older shared house with multiple water heaters and not the easiest of spots to work in, but he made the repairs with grace and communication each step of the way, so that I could inform the other units of timing. He was thorough and made me feel as though he takes pride in a job well done."

"Our old cast iron pipes in our house became clogged and Winter's Co. came quickly to assess the situation. It required PVC replacement piping and much digging since the house trap which was clogged was very deep in the ground. Anthony Sousa was here for three days of hard work. He was courteous, hard working and informative. He kept us up to date regularly as to what he had done and what he was about to do. Anthony is a fabulous young man and hard worker. We are most impressed with his skills and pleasant demeanor. Winter's has gem in its midst; that's Anthony Sousa. On the last day, he brought an apprentice with him, Josh Lee who was also excellent in working with Anthony. We feel that Josh is a quick learner and is fortunate to have Anthony as his mentor.
