Backflow Preventer Installation In Houston And Nearby Cities
Backflow is a potentially hazardous event that happens when an inverse pressure in the potable (drinkable) water system leads to the drawing in of water from a contaminated source into the supposedly clean water system. This unwanted reversal of water flow could introduce harmful substances or undesired materials, posing a risk to the safety and health of the water’s end users.

This phenomenon can be triggered by a number of circumstances, often linked to changes in pressure within the system or failures in the water supply mechanisms. Some specific scenarios that may instigate such an event include:
● Back siphonage: This is when the negative pressure in the potable water system is created by suction, such as when a faucet is turned on.
● Back pressure: This is when the negative pressure in the potable water system is created by a higher pressure in another system, such as a fire sprinkler system.

Backflow can contaminate the potable water system and make it unsafe to drink. It can also cause damage to the system and equipment.

There are a number of different backflow prevention devices that can be used to prevent backflow. The most common types of backflow prevention devices are:
● Air gaps: An air gap is a physical barrier that prevents the backflow of contaminated water. It is created by leaving an open space between the potable water system and another system.
● Vacuum breakers: A vacuum breaker is a device that prevents backflow by using a vent to equalize the pressure between the potable water system and another system.
● Check valves: A check valve is a device that prevents backflow by blocking the flow of water in the opposite direction.

Backflow prevention devices are required by law in many jurisdictions. It is important to have a backflow prevention device installed by a qualified plumber to ensure that it is properly installed and maintained.
