Backflow Preventer Testing, Repair and Installation – DC / MD

One reason it is so important to use a reputable, licensed plumber such as Spartan Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, is to protect yourself, your loved ones, family and friends from the dangers of cross-connections and ensure that the water that comes from the tap in your home is clean drinking water. Clean drinking water is something we often take for granted but a licensed plumber certified in Backflow Prevention, such as Spartan Plumbing, will make sure that backflow preventers are installed wherever there is the danger for cross-connections.

A backflow preventer is a device that prevents water flowing out of your home from reversing its flow. This can happen when there is a sudden drop in water pressure.
Here’s one example: If you are using a device attached to a hose bib on your home to fertilize flowers in your yard, a sudden drop of pressure could cause your hose to act as a straw causing the water mixed with fertilizers to flow backward into your house and your spouse could suddenly be drinking a glass of water contaminated with fertilizers! Without the proper backflow prevention devices or backflow preventers: People can get sick!
