24/7 Emergency Backflow Plumber
How do we prevent backflow?
Backflow is the undesirable reversal of water flow in a plumbing system, causing contaminants or pollutants to enter the clean water supply. It’s a critical concern that can compromise water quality and health if not properly prevented.
Here at Statewide Plumbing and Maintenance, we offer professional preventative solutions for backflow.
What Causes Backflow?
Water Pressure Drops
Change in water pressure is a common cause of backflow. It happens when there is a sudden drop in water pressure in the main supply line, often due to firefighting or water main breaks. This drop in pressure can result in a reversal of water flow, drawing contaminants from connected fixtures or systems into the clean water supply.
If you have an emergency backflow problem, give us a call on 0402 247 000 to fix it ASAP.
Temperature Fluctuations
Rapid fluctuations in water temperature, often caused by heating or cooling systems, can create pressure variations within pipes. If these pressure changes are not adequately controlled, they can lead to backflow events, potentially compromising water quality.
If you find yourself with a backflow problem, give us a call on 0402 247 000 so we can help you fix it right away!
Back Pressure
Back pressure occurs when the pressure in a non-potable system, like a boiler or industrial process, exceeds that of the potable water system. This excess pressure can force water, along with any associated contaminants, to flow backward into the clean water supply.
