Santee Backflow Testing 

One of the biggest fears every property owner has is the possibility that their water system will experience backflow. Backflow occurs when the flow of water in a pipe system is reversed, causing  potentially  contaminated water to flow back into the clean water supply. Having professional testing done is essential for determining the condition of your backflow preventer so it doesn’t jeopardize people’s health.

Some of the benefits of arranging for a regular backflow check include:

• Protection of public health: Backflow can introduce contaminants such as chemicals, pesticides, and bacteria into the main water supply, potentially causing serious illnesses and diseases.
• Compliance with regulations: To protect residents, many jurisdictions require backflow testing to comply with local health and safety regulations. The failure to follow these regulations can result in high fines or termination of the water service.
• Liability reduction: In addition to paying expensive fees, property owners can be liable for much more serious consequences. Allowing backflow to occur has been known to result in the suspension of water service or even a temporary dissolution of a business.
