    What to Expect When Scheduling a Backflow Test

    When scheduling a backflow preventer test in East Stroudsburg, PA, you can expect the following steps to be followed.

    You can contact a certified backflow tester or a plumbing company to schedule an appointment for the test. It’s advisable to schedule the test in advance to ensure that the tester is available on the desired date and time.

    Before the test, make sure that the backflow preventer is accessible and in good condition. The tester may need to turn off the water supply for a brief period to perform the test, so it’s a good idea to inform anyone who may be affected by the temporary shut-off.

    During the test, the tester will check the function of the backflow preventer and make sure that it is operating correctly. The test will involve checking the pressure in the backflow preventer, as well as its ability to stop the flow of water in the opposite direction.

    After the test is complete, the tester will provide you with a certificate of compliance, which verifies that the backflow preventer is working properly. If any issues are found during the test, the tester will provide recommendations for repairing the device.

    It’s important to have your backflow preventer tested annually to ensure that it is functioning properly and to maintain compliance with local regulations. At Taylor Group, we make sure that our technicians performing the testing are properly trained and licensed.

    Why Should I Worry About Backflow Prevention?

    Backflow prevention is important because it helps to protect the public drinking water supply from contamination. A backflow event occurs when water in a plumbing system flows in the opposite direction of its intended flow, potentially introducing contaminants into the public drinking water supply.

    Some common causes of backflow include:

    Pressure changes in the water supply system: A drop in water pressure can cause contaminated water to flow back into the main water supply.
    Cross-connection: This occurs when a connection is made between a potable water supply and a source of contamination, such as a chemical tank or a wastewater pipe.
    Back-siphonage: This occurs when a vacuum is created in the water supply system, causing contaminated water to flow back into the public drinking water supply.

    If backflow is not prevented, it can lead to serious health hazards and the spread of disease. In addition, it can also result in significant damage to the water supply system, as well as to the equipment and pipes in the affected area. Nobody would want to deal with all the fallout from a backflow event hence the importance of installing and regularly testing a backflow preventer. You can help protect the public drinking water supply and ensure that your own water supply remains safe and clean by doing so!

    Don’t get fined for forgetting to schedule your annual backflow test! Call (855) 999-LEAK and our certified backflow testers will get the job done.
