Clean, safe water is essential for every household, but the risk of contamination is always present. Cross-connections and backflow can allow dangerous pollutants and contaminants to enter your home’s water supply, putting your family’s health at risk. At Fred’s, we understand the importance of protecting your water quality, which is why we offer comprehensive backflow prevention inspection and testing services.

What is Backflow?

Backflow is the unwanted reversal of water flow, which can allow contaminants from plumbing fixtures, appliances, or external sources to enter your home’s potable water supply. This can happen due to backpressure or backsiphonage, caused by factors such as:

• Cross-connections between potable and non-potable water lines
• Water main breaks or repairs
• Fire-fighting efforts
• Industrial processes
• Irrigation systems
• Boilers and chillers

Backflow can introduce harmful substances like pesticides, chemicals, sewage, and more into your drinking water, posing serious health risks if left unchecked.
