Backflow Can Harm Your Customers and the Environment

Since you are reading this blog, you probably wonder what backflow is and why you need to prevent it. Robinson & Son Plumbing & Mechanical most often deals with backflow with commercial clients. Backflow happens when tainted water, gas, or other contaminants flow in reverse. Flowing in reverse can lead tainted contaminants to enter the water supply of your business. Backflow can occur when there is low pressure in the water tank or plumbing system.

 

Pollutants can lead to ill health or environmental issues. As a business owner, the health of your customers, your employees, and the environment should be important to you.

 

 

Installing a Backflow Preventer Can Stop Contaminants

What are the signs of backflow? Two of the main signs are cloudy, bad smelling water and dirt flowing from the spigot. Also, if you have low water pressure, you may have a backflow issue.
