BACKFLOW PLUMBING SERVICES
BACKFLOW PLUMBING SERVICES
Protecting drinking water from contamination.
While most parts of your plumbing system are up to you, in terms of how much you invest into them, backflow testing isn’t one of them. This is something that happens to be required under law. Essentially, a backflow device protects all drinking water from any form of contamination. What happens is hydraulic conditions can deviate from what’s considered a “normal” condition. When this happens, water starts flowing in the opposite direction. As a result, when the water goes the opposite way, it can start pulling contamination back into the main water lines.

Kansas City’s Backflow Testing Plumbers
What services are provided?
Residential Backflow Testing
While backflow testing is typically a commercial project, it can also occasionally fall under the residential sector. For some homeowners, you might not even realize that your house has a backflow preventer until you receive a notification from the city. If this time comes, keep in mind that completing the test can’t be a DIY project. You must have a certified plumber complete the backflow testing.
Commercial Backflow Testing
The more common environment for backflow testing is in the commercial world. A backflow can occur from a wide range of sources, including an increase in pressure from the wastewater system, thus causing the water to flow in the wrong direction. Just as is the case with residential backflow preventers, you must have the testing completed by a certified plumber.
Further Repairs Needed
After completing the backflow testing, we will send it to the water department and make sure it passes the state and city’s standards. If it fails, further repairs will be needed to get the valve back in working condition. Our plumbers at Stine-Nichols provide this service as well!
