Backflow Testing in Northwest Indiana

Water should only flow in your home in one direction to maintain the cleanliness of your drinking water. Sometimes, however, your water flow may suddenly change due to a variety of circumstances, causing dirty water to flow back into your clean water. Investing in a backwater preventer and having our professionals at RLM test your system regularly are excellent ways to protect the safety of your home.

What Is Backflow Testing?

Backflow testing is a fast, easy way to determine whether your home is experiencing backflow. During this testing process, your RLM plumber will evaluate the effectiveness of your backflow preventer. Backflow preventer devices work within your plumbing system to keep your water flow moving properly and act as a barrier against harmful contaminants.

Why Is Backflow Testing Needed?

Without a backflow test, many property owners are completely unaware of any issues with their water system. If a backflow system experiences a leak or other minor malfunctions for an extended time, contaminants can enter the water supply and cause serious health issues for anyone who drinks or uses your water.

Backflow is often the result of one of two plumbing issues. The first is back pressure, in which the pressure in your plumbing is higher than the pressure of your water distribution system. The second is a sudden drop in water pressure after a quick withdrawal from your system, such as during a firefighter emergency.

How Is Backflow Testing Done?

During backflow testing, an RLM plumber will open and close the valves of your backflow preventer device and then assess the valves for leakage and other malfunctions. If your backflow preventer shows no signs of malfunction, you are all set. Luckily, if your backflow preventer does experience a leak or other issues, your RLM plumber will quickly repair your system to keep your home’s water supply safe and clean.

When Is Backflow Testing Needed?

Many states, such as Indiana, require homeowners to have their backflow preventers tested annually. Just like how individual parts of your car may wear down over time, the same is true for your backflow testing preventer. Regularly testing your backflow preventer will ensure that all parts are in working order and your home remains safe.
