Backflow is the name given to the process of fluid in a pipe system flowing in the wrong direction. It can result in serious problems if overlooked or handled incorrectly, the most likely of which probably being the contamination of drinking water supplies. If unsafe water from a closed system leaks back into the communal drinking water system, it has the potential to jeopardize the cleanliness of that entire supply.
A backflow preventer is a measure put in place to do just what it says – stop the backward flow of material through a pipe system. However, backflow preventers can fail. This can be caused by a number of things, such as wear and tear over time, physical damage, improper backflow preventer installation and lack of backflow testing.
Because of the serious potential risks associated with backflow, there are a series of laws in place governing backflow preventer installation and backflow preventer testing, which may mean your building needs to be regularly checked and serviced.
