What is backflow prevention and why is it important?
In simple terms, backflow prevention is a way to prevent contaminated water from re-entering the public water supply and thus contaminating all of the potable water in a given area. This “cross-contamination” could cause sickness and even death in a large part of the population. Over the past several decades, municipalities have enacted laws to require building owners to have working backflow prevention devices installed in their building to prevent cross-contamination. Compliance is not only the law, but it is also good business. The liability implications for a contamination incident could be staggering for businesses that are not in compliance. Fortunately, Mid-Atlantic Backflow Professionals, LLC is here to help!
Why Should I Use a Licensed Plumber to Test My Devices?
A common question we get asked is: “But I already have my fire sprinkler company test my backflow devices. Can’t we just get them to do it?” While there are some companies that can test your backflow prevention devices, only a licensed plumber can change, repair or maintain your device. Choosing a licensed plumbing company that specializes in backflow preventer testing, maintenance, and repair makes the process smooth and seamless, and insures full compliance with the law. Mid-Atlantic Backflow Professionals is a Virginia “Class A” plumbing company that specializes in Backflow.
