Seattle Area Backflow Testing & Repair

Did you know that there is a possibility that your potable water might be contaminated? Although your home plumbing designed to let water flow in a single direction, pressure changes inside the pipelines can cause the water to reverse direction or cause a backflow. Both residential and commercial properties are required by law to install backflow prevention devices to their plumbing to avoid water contamination. However, this is not enough—it is also a must that these devices are tested regularly.

The Plumbing Joint is Renton’s premier provider of top-quality plumbing services including backflow testing and repair. Our licensed, trained, and certified plumbers are experts in providing comprehensive inspections of backflow devices to determine their current condition. Should we find any problems, our plumbing team can also fix it for you promptly and efficiently.

Understanding Backflow

At The Plumbing Joint, we prioritize your safety by addressing potential backflow issues. Backflow happens when water flow reverses, allowing contaminated water to enter and mix with the clean water supply. This often occurs at cross-connections between clean and contaminated water lines, usually triggered by sudden changes in water pressure, such as a burst pipe. Contaminants like chemicals, pesticides, or human waste can make their way into the water, posing significant health risks.

By installing a backflow prevention device, we safeguard your water supply against the infiltration of contaminated water during sudden or significant pressure changes in the water lines. It is crucial that these devices are installed correctly and undergo regular testing to maintain a contamination-free water supply.

To comply with municipal regulations, backflow prevention devices must be tested annually to ensure they are in optimal working condition. Failure to perform these tests can result in fines or even disruption of your water service. We strongly advise scheduling your backflow testing early to avoid any penalties and ensure continuous, safe water usage.
