Expert Backflow Testing & Prevention in Redlands, CA
Backflow prevention protects your drinking water from contamination caused by reverse flow in the plumbing system. Redlands Plumbing Services provides backflow testing, certification, and device installation for Redlands homes and businesses to meet local code requirements and keep water safe.
Signs You May Need Backflow Testing & Prevention
- Water has an unusual taste or color
- Local water authority requires annual testing
- You have an irrigation system connected to city water
- Commercial property needs compliance certification
- New construction or remodel requires backflow device
- Pressure changes in your water system
If you notice any of these signs, it is best to call a licensed plumber sooner rather than later to prevent the problem from worsening.
What Causes These Issues
Backflow occurs when water pressure changes cause contaminated water to flow backward into the clean supply. This can happen from fire hydrant use, water main breaks, heavy irrigation, or sudden pressure drops. Without a functioning backflow prevention device, chemicals, fertilizers, and other contaminants can enter your household water supply.
