What Is a Cross-Connection Survey?

A cross-connection survey is an essential process that helps plumbing professionals identify potential sources of contamination in a building's water supply. Cross-connections occur when the potable or drinking water system in a building comes into contact with non-potable water, which can potentially contain harmful bacteria, chemicals, or other contaminants. These connections can allow a backflow of non-potable water into the drinking water supply, putting the health of building occupants and the community at risk. A cross-connection survey is used to identify potential cross-connections that exist in a building's plumbing system. Surveys typically involve an onsite visit by trained professionals who will inspect every pipe that leads in and out of the establishment. By performing this inspection, we can identify possible cross-connections and then make recommendations for the installation of backflow prevention devices or assemblies that will effectively protect the drinking water system from being contaminated. The goal of a cross-connection survey is to ensure that the building's water supply is safe, clean, and up to code so that occupants can have peace of mind that they have reliable access to clean, potable water free of contaminants.

Our Cross-Connection Surveys Can Identify:

  • Chemical Contamination: Chemicals used in your building, such as cleaning agents, pesticides, or fertilizers, that may contaminate the water supply.
  • Backflow: This occurs when contaminated water flows in the opposite direction from a plumbing system into the public water main. Backflow can occur due to a sudden drop in water pressure, resulting from an unexpected plumbing issue or a sudden demand for water.
  • Physical Hazards: Any physical hazards that might penetrate the plumbing system, such as debris or insects, that could contaminate the water supply.
  • Cross-Connections: Cross-connections between potable and non-potable water supply sources, such as sprinkler systems, garden hoses, boilers, equipment, or pools.
  • Biohazards: This includes contaminants from bacteria found in sewage, food processing or livestock operations, and other potential biological sources.
