What Is Backflow?
Let’s start off with a quick refresher in case you need one. Backflow is when water travels backward of its intended path. This might sound like something benign, but it’s actually a danger to the health of you and your family members because it can potentially reverse the flow of non-potable water and bring it into your home. In a perfect world, water is supposed to move directly from the municipal water supply to your home.
How does backflow occur, you ask? Backflow is caused by changes in your home’s water pressure. For example, you might experience a break in your main water line. When this happens, it creates a vacuum suction in the system that causes the water to “backflow” and probable contamination of your drinking water.
