Backflow Plumbing

We’ve come to rely on fast and easy access to clean water for drinking, cleaning, and bathing. Drinking water is made available through city or town water lines most often, but backflow threatens this clean water.

Backflow is simply the flow of dirty or contaminated water from a residential or commercial property back into the lines carrying clean water. This back flow of water creates a serious situation wherein chemicals, feces, and other damaging materials can find their way into a water source that should be suitable for use. This serious health hazard typically occurs at the cross-connection between wastewater and potable water in a residential or commercial property system.

To help prevent backflow, cities and towns have regulatory requirements for backflow prevention. At MNS Plumbing, we work daily with property owners who need dependable backflow installation, maintenance, and repair. We have the experience, knowledge, tools, and resources to help ensure that a property owner’s backflow plumbing is working at its peak potential and that they’re protected from backflow issues that can harm safe drinking water.

As a backflow plumbing expert, MNS Plumbing is always on call to help with regular annual inspections and maintenance, new installation of backflow prevention systems, and repair of existing backflow prevention.

Backflow Prevention Installation

Many municipal codes call for a backflow prevention device to be installed as a standard part of plumbing systems at commercial properties, multi-family housing structures, and restaurants, to name a few. The backflow installation should be executed in direct response to any hazard at the building. At MNS Plumbing, we offer backflow installation services that are fast, effective, and aligned to respond to any hazard present at a property.

Installation typically includes a backflow prevention device featuring mechanical check valves that leap to action in case of a sudden and significant change in water pressure. These check valves prevent dirty water from entering the clean water supply in such situations. As the name suggests, this type of protection is ideal for backflow prevention.

Backflow Repair and Maintenance

Backflow installation is only the first step. The system needs regularly scheduled maintenance to ensure a backflow prevention system works as it should. At MNS Plumbing, we offer comprehensive backflow maintenance services, including annual testing, inspections, and certification. As part of our services, we ensure clients have all the paperwork to meet their municipality’s regulatory requirements.

We also offer backflow repair services in case of a breakdown or emergency. For property owners who find that their backflow system isn’t operating properly, we will dispatch a technician to diagnose the issue and outline the best solution. Our backflow repair services will restore the backflow prevention system, which means our client remains in compliance, and their fresh water supply will be safe from the destructive effects of backflow.
