Frequently asked questions
Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows in reverse — back into your clean drinking water supply. This can happen due to sudden pressure drops in the main water line. It poses serious health risks, as sewage, chemicals, or bacteria can enter your home or business water system. Proper backflow prevention devices protect your family and property.
Most local codes in the Greater Chicago area require backflow preventers for properties with irrigation systems, fire sprinklers, swimming pools, or commercial facilities. If your property has any cross-connections between potable water and potential contamination sources, a backflow device is not just recommended — it's legally required.
Backflow prevention devices should be tested at least once a year by a certified technician. Over time, internal components like springs, seals, and check valves can wear out and fail silently. Annual testing ensures your device is functioning correctly and keeps you compliant with local municipal regulations.
If your device fails inspection, it must be repaired or replaced promptly to remain compliant with local water authority requirements. Our certified technicians can repair faulty components or install a new approved device and provide all necessary documentation for your municipality.
