What is Backflow?

Backflow is the reversal of the flow of water in your plumbing system. This can happen when there is a sudden drop in water pressure, such as when a water main breaks or a fire hydrant is used. When the water pressure drops, it can cause the water to flow in the opposite direction, which can contaminate your water supply.

Backflow can cause a variety of problems, including the contamination of your water supply with chemicals, bacteria, and other harmful substances. This can make you and your family sick. In addition, backflow can cause damage to your plumbing system and appliances.

How to Prevent Backflow?

The best way to prevent backflow is to have a backflow prevention device installed. A backflow prevention device is a mechanical device that is installed in your plumbing system to prevent the water from flowing in the wrong direction. There are several different types of backflow prevention devices, including air gaps, check valves, and reduced pressure zone devices.

At CB Smith Plumbing, we can help you select the right backflow prevention device for your home or business. We will evaluate your plumbing system and your water supply to determine the best type of backflow prevention device for your needs. Once we have installed the device, we will test it to make sure it is working properly.

Backflow Testing & Certification

Backflow prevention devices need to be tested on a regular basis to make sure they are working properly. In addition, some local governments require backflow prevention devices to be tested and certified on an annual basis.

At CB Smith Plumbing, we offer backflow testing and certification in Spartanburg and the surrounding areas. Our plumbers are certified to test and certify backflow prevention devices for residential and commercial properties.

During a backflow test, our plumber will check the water pressure in your plumbing system to make sure it is within the normal range. They will also check the backflow prevention device to make sure it is working properly. If the device is not working properly, our plumber can repair or replace it for you.
