Backflow occurs when the pressure in your plumbing system is reversed. Contaminated water flows backward into your system, putting you at risk for serious health problems. This may be caused by a variety of factors, such as fluctuations in the city’s water supply. It is estimated that more than 10,000 cases of backflow occur annually in the United States, and it is important to take steps to protect yourself from the harmful effects of backflow.
Backflow may contain a variety of harmful substances, such as:
- Minerals
- Chemicals
- Pesticides
- Bacteria
- Dirt
- Industrial fluids
