Why Backflow Occurs

Although the name may seem self-explanatory, many people need to know what backflow is and why it occurs. Usually, your primary water supply runs in a single direction, feeding fresh water to your showers and faucets. However, if a sudden reduction in pressure occurs or the main line is unexpectedly disrupted, an unfortunate situation arises where contaminated water is forced backward.

This may be due to a severe clog or when too much water flows for an extensive period. Regardless of the cause, this surge of wastewater is known as back siphonage or backflow. It is essential to speak to professionals as soon as possible to prevent this wastewater from entering your fresh water supply.

Dependable Backflow Prevention Device Installations

Backflow prevention devices are supposed to last quite a long time, but there will eventually be a day when you need a new unit. With so many choices available, picking the right system can take time and effort. The great news is that you don't have to make this tough decision yourself! The way to go is to speak with a team of knowledgeable backflow prevention experts.

The primary types of devices can be broken down into two categories – atmospheric vacuum breakers and backflow prevention assemblies. Atmospheric vacuum breakers use air pressure to protect against back siphonage, although they are not always the most economical.

The second option of backflow prevention assemblies is also very reliable, but they require lots of testing to ensure the valves and shutoffs continue working. Whether this is your first time purchasing a unit or you need a replacement, our techs can provide a proper solution, informing you about your options for:

• Double-check valves
• Spill-resistant vacuum breakers
• Pressure vacuum breakers
• Reduced pressure principle backflow assemblies

Since there are many options available, it is always helpful to talk to professionals like our team at FCS Mechanical, who can inform you about each system's pros and cons.
